My cat is sick, not eating very much, and I've spent a fortune trying to figure out what's wrong. So far we haven't found anything wrong. Tuesday she will have an ultrasound and a GI workup. If those show nothing I'm going to have her teeth worked on, cleaned and if any need extracted have that done.

Anyway, last night I cried for fear of losing her. She's 14 and always been MY cat. We are very close. She follows me wherever I go and sleeps with me cuddled up to me in bed.

I can't remember the last time I cried. Probably a yr or two ago. What about you, do you cry very often? I wonder if my meds have me a bit flat. I don't think we can tweak them any because I'm pretty stable now.

I've been crying ALL DAY today. Don't feel like getting into the "whys" but it's not totally about my upcoming divorce.....it's more about something I discovered about myself that really upsets me....makes me feel a bit hopeless about myself. I am quite depressed, though...

Sorry to hear about your cat. I will say a prayer for a lot more quality time together.

I'm sorry about yor kitty being sick. I do hope they figure out what is causing her loss of appetite. It is understandable why you cried- you love her and want to help her. I will keep you both in my thoughts. (((hugs)))

As to your question- one thing I do well is cry. I cry when happy, sad, angry. It's just how I react with any strong emotions I am having. It's a good release for me.

I thinl if you are feeling stable I wouldn't over think it but some meds can contribute to that flat feeling- I would mention it to your pdoc.

Again- I will keep you and kitty in my thoughts.

yesterday. I went to the funeral of a friend who died a sudden death sydrone in the arms of her husband, She was 54. Thin, full of love for God and family, had a smile for everybody and everybody was her friend.

Before med.'s I cried in the bathroom at home every single day about being a disappointment. Now, not so much. Of course when I hear the national anthem, it still brings a tear to my eye.

I cried the other day when I ran across a condolence card from the vet about the loss of my pet that I had to put down. I didn't think I still had it. since then we'd rescued a new cat, but my heart still aches somtimes for Pepper. And I wish I could hold your hand through this scarey time.

Last year I cried when my daughter was taken away from me and all vistational rights have been revoked. I get to call her once a day and see her for times like christmas. But I'm never gonna give up one day I will see her everyday.

I'm sorry about your kitty :( prayers sent up.

I cried on Saturday because I'm just so overwhelmed and trying to keep a lid on my episode

It's so hard when a furbaby is sick. Hope she is on the mend soon!

My crying has a lot to do with my dose of Effexor. If I am on 75 mg or more I am not actually able to cry. I recently had my dose dropped to 37.5 and now I cry at EVERYTHING. Last time: 5 minutes ago when I watched the Budweiser Clydesdale commercial on the internet. My tdoc says it is because I get a chance to feel more when I am not medicated to the gills.

It's been a little while since I cried, I have trouble crying because of meds too (don't want to lower the dose as my illness would have me bawling all the time). I think it was feeling sick from the chemo that made me cry the last time, but I am on a break now from it so all is good (feeling much better).

So sorry about kitty Becky - I hope everything can be figured out with the baby...Many hugs to you.

I don't cry. I might get sad but the last time I cried, I think was Dec 2, 1996. That was the day my first wife died. I cried for about 1 minute. I guess it might be a guy thing but I feel it is because of my hydrocephalus. I think my emotions have been impaired. I don't laugh much either.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and positive thoughts regarding my cat, Lucy.
