Yeah, I understand you crying. It was sad. I watched it, too. Usually, that would have left me in tears, but fortunately, I didn't pay too much attention to it.
It's okay to cry. Something about the show must have reminded you of something or pulled on your heart strings.
Make sure you are looking after you.

You have taken the first step in helping figure out what triggers the natural response of crying.
As virlaceygo says, it's ok to cry.
Hope you feel better!

you used the words " saying goodbye to meredith" explore that within your self. what does it represent ot you. do not deny. embrace. how did you view that in relation to your experiences?


for myself, i have always been greatly disturbed and immediately turn away from or become quickly distraught at animal abuse and neglect.

to me animals are innocent helpless beings ( myself as a child)

abused by "greater" beings ( bullies at school )

and neglected by their "supposed caregiver" that is

-denied rights of BEING ( what was perceived by me as a total rejection of my "self"

and their refusal to recognize my glaring problem. ( or so i percieved it )

if i attempted to defend my self against a bully, i was punished by both parent and school - just as equally as the bully!!

" fighting is wrong no matter what." Blind, misguided, fools who failed me because they " thought" they were always right.

that is like saying it is the dog's fault that it was beaten and not loved.


mis information is a bitch. lol


Notice- only after school shootings- are times changing in this area of the school system. death of the " innocent" where does this aggerssion come from -

ie children are not born racist!

i remember feeling rejected by the entire world, felt i had no place in it, and felt an almost constant resentment, fear and loneliness.



ignored as a human by my parents who did not recognize or intervene effectively on my behalf. " my truth"

today i recognize that this occurred through their misunderstood, rigid adherence to the letter of christs teachings. and their mental idenification with the role of "Parent" etc etc )

my father told me to "turn the other cheek" and "ignore it." i love the man, but he was a blind misguided fool in this area of parenting and i suffered greatly. i take this as a lesson in life, and will endeavor to recognize my children as beings. etc etc



my stress is less today bcause of self reflection and my willingness to change my view of the entire population as hostile towards me. i have many loving people in my life today.
if i can help in way please!!!!!!!!!!! just tell me.
acceptance is vital

if anything i said was not "nice" - i dont care. because i love you too much to not tell "my truth." and the truth IS setting me free. try it for your self.

btw i understand turn the other cheek today. i read the bible and christs words as well as ay written word. i am not "christian"

Believe me the fact that i no longer hate GOD and mankind IS a miracle in itself.

HI LADYDI
CRYING IS NATURAL AND BE GLAD YOU CAN CRY... I WASN'T ABLE TO CRY UNTIL I WAS 24. AND IT ALL CAME OUT AT ONCE...
I WAS RAISED A MALE/MAN NEVER CRIES OR SHOWS FEAR ETC.. WHAT BULLSHIT...
I NOW CRY AT THE DROP OF A HAT..... I CRY IN FRONT OF MY CHILDREN, TWO ARE MEN, I NEVER PUT THE SAME HEAD TRIPS ON MY KIDS THAT WERE PUT IN MY HEAD...
IT FEELS GOOD WHEN YOU CAN LET GO OF SOME OF THE PAIN AND CONFUSSION...
I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON. HERE HAVE A BIG OL MONKEY HUG!!! SEE NOW DON'T YOU FEEL MO BETTER....
IT'S OK I HAVE HAD MY SHOTS AND HAVE A FLEA COLAR .... DC

Yes, I cry at some things on tv too that don't seem related to my specific issues. I can't give a reason but from reading the posts it probably does trigger some issue of loss, abandonment, or helplessness that I am working through. I don't think the crying is a problem, just a sign of a tender heart empathizing on some level. hugs to you.

I so agree with livingman.
.........embrace........crying can be very cleansing...
Its been said they clean the soul.........

dear ladydi1961,
I have had that happen to me even from a very young age. It could be a sad movie, or a sweet commercial and here come the waterworks. Usually lasts for a few minutes then it is gone. Now if I see something like that and it directly affects me in what I am going through, like after my miscarriages, any diaper commercial would make me curl up and cry for hours. ( i am sure understandably so) As for TV shows, I graduated class of 1993, coincidently the same year Beverly Hills 90210, Saved by the bell, and a few other tv shows all graduated classes 93' so every time I saw one of those at that time, I would get very emotional. I figure some people are just more sensitive than others, and I am one of those people for sure.( I don't know, maybe I said too much and I am just weird that way) (lol)

I am so sorry, I am having a problem. Some people go on and on and on and on, I can't take it. Does any one else have that problem? It just seems like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Am I asking too much to ask people to keep it short? I am sorry, This is a big trgger for me. Is it too much for me to ask people to journal if they want to go on and on?

I am so sorry. This was so inappropriate of me. This was a good post. I am having a meltdown.

Most of us were born with tear ducts. We cry when we are happy and when we are sad. Sometimes the tears just flow because we are laughing so hard we can't help it.

We don't have to know why our tears fall, and it makes not difference whether we cry for ten min. or ten hours.

You suffer from PTSD......................Give yourself a break!
