Do you ever feel so unhappy in general that you want to cry, but can't?

Yes! It's that kind of frustration that seems to seep through your pores. I get it whenever I had a crapload of homework, lack of sleep and proper nutrition, I'm not getting along well with my friends and once or twice, on top of it all a cold. I always just want to crawl in bed and have the hours inch past to another day...

Lately my biorrhythmns have been pretty good, though. I'm grateful.

Sometimes. Who doesn't?

Yes, and it happens a lot these days. Sometimes I just wish the stroke HAD killed me. I can't live like this much longer.

No, when I'm unhappy and want to cry, I usually do.

I used to cry a lot,I was the weeping type.
Then I cried everyday for almost an year.
Then I didn't cry for 2 years.I wanted to cry badly and I couldn't.I was too depressed,all emotions blocked down.
Now I don't cry often,I guess my crying is now pretty healthy.I need to cry,I cry.I just don't need it very often now.Maybe I found something else for relieving anger,because I was such a crybaby when I was younger.I say anger because I don't cry when I'm sad or feel vulnerable.I cry when I'm in "I smash your head" mode.It's safer to cry.I didn't cry in my worst depression days because rage is an emotion and I had an emotional paralysis.
Oh,I cry over movies,books and songs,but that's a different kind of crying.

Yep.

I always cry. It's so easy for me to cry. E.g. I think about something to write, and I put myself into the shoes of the character, and I imagine something bad happening to him/her and I start crying.

Doesn't everyone feel like this from time to time?

Yes. I've actually felt this way a lot recently. I am so sad, upset, and depressed about all the things going on in my life, but can't seem to cry anymore. I guess all my tears have been cried.

I hate it when my fictional characters die.

No, I've never had a problem crying when I'm unhappy. I have, however, had trouble STOPPING when I've been very, very unhappy!

Crying is a blessing. Sometimes when you sit there or walk along and feel so empty and downtrodden it really hurts. That's why I love weepy movies or books. I cry at all sorts. I cry at the end of my new Kate Bush video when she waves goodbye at the end.

((HUG)) Take care Julie. We, for one, would miss you. You make our day just being around. Really you do!

oh yes, but usually it's because that it isn't the right time to cry so to speak, it will come out sometime, somehow, somewhere

YES. This happens a lot, I'm sad..a lot. But, most of the time, I don't have a problem crying, I cry more that I probably should.

Very occasionally; once or twice a year.

Thanks, Dino. I love all of you!

We've never had a single place to go,
But at least it used to seem like we were headed somewhere.
And even when we had no more will left to live,
We still recognized that love was preferable to death,
Often we would struggle to think of a single thing else that was,
We never found another answer.

So now, without each other,
We are alone, and we have each lost our way-
Between us, there only ever was a single path.
For the both of us, there only ever was a single answer.
We still don't have anywhere to go,
But at least it used to seem like there was somewhere else to get to.

I have lots of characters in my stories that go through hell and stuff.It doesn't make me cry,it makes me smile and excites me.Not only sexually,mentally exciting.I do love them,but I like to torment them a bit.I cry if they do something good and heartbreaking,not if something bad happens.

Yeah, that happens. When I write the fanfiction, I do that to characters that annoy me.

I do it with characters I love.I'm a sadist myself.A non-practicing one.

Occasionally.

Yeah, that is a good way to take yourself out. That's why I always liked writing. Your rules your world.

Oh, by the way, I have to tell this to someone, I just dyed my hair black. It has some weird blue shine, I look like the witch that always tried to steal Uncle Scrooge's lucky dime.

Cool!
Your hair I mean.

Rarely, but it happens. I've gone through so much that it takes a lot for me to cry.

However, since I got on birth control pills for the artificial hormones after my hysterectomy, I find myself wanting to cry, but for no reason. It's an intellectual sort of thing, though. I don't actually cry. I just get the feeling that I need to. Then I sit back and think, why do I want to cry. Typically, it's just hormones and I ignore it. It's more of an annoyance than anything.

*crying*
I hate hormones.
They are ruining my life.

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad I don't really have to deal with them too often. Just that week off the birth control pills and I'm a loony toon. Hopefully I won't have to take them much longer. I am taking them to shrink my ovaries and some ovarian cysts. I really hope the pills worked. I do not want another surgery this year.

We could form an Hormones Anonymous club. We could all stand in a big circle and scream as loud as we possibly could. Having a big en masse cry sounds like a good idea some of the time as well.....

Yes!

Some friends and I formed a PMS chat room on a local BBS once and refused to let any man come in. We weren't being very nice, but it was a time for chocolate and tears.

Let me know next time you want to scream then

It's a good idea. PMS drives me mad. I'm not myself

Not really. I feel unhappy sometimes but if I feel unhappy enough to cry, I cry. Am I being too sensible here?

Men don't cry
