Hey Pandas, Why Did You Cry The Last Time You Did? (Closed)

I would like to ask you: When was the last time you cried, and what was the reason? Please feel free to share your stories.

3 years ago I married the love of my life and became a father. We had both been through severe traumatic and abusive relationships, some very recently in fact, and somehow took a chance, finding real love.

One lazy Sunday morning a few weeks ago, she walked out of the bedroom to get an energy drink, smiled, and said "Hi my love." I gave her a hug, said good morning, and went to my office to cry. Sometimes life is so beautiful after so much pain you just need to let it all out.

Because someone stole the flower arrangement from my sister's grave. It's not the first time it's happened, but this one was particularly nice - silk flowers that I had just put out like a month ago that I really didn't have the money to spend on when I bought them. People are trash. Sorry about that, Angie.

Yesterday night. I was asleep and I had a dream that my dad needed me to open the front door for him because his hands were full. I opened the door for him, and my dog (who had cancer and had been put down about a year ago.) was on the front porch. I immediately started sobbing and I woke up, still sobbing thinking it was real, and that my fur brother was home again.

This makes me cry. So sorry for your loss honey. I am sorry to hear that. I too have dreams like that. Sometimes it's my late husband, sometimes it's my fur baby (or fur babies) and sometimes all of them who show up in my dreams. I can only say that maybe it's your fur brother's way of saying "hello" and that he is still with you, if only in spirit. He may have become your guardian angel.

We have a Filimin on our kitchen counter. It is a simple light device that allows people who live far away to say a quick "Hello" to each other using colored light. My mom has the other part of our particular duo in Minnesota. I reached out to touch the Filimin the other day, and I realized that since she passed away recently, she won't ever touch the other side again. I cried in the kitchen.

I always felt that my cats that passed away were hoping that I would rescue another kitty so they could have a great life too. It takes about a month and we realize we're lonely for four little feet racing around. Shelters give funny names. We adopted Chuckles 3 years ago and changed his name.

I caretake my 92 year old parents for the past 6 years. Sold my house and moved back. Dad has severe, broad spectrum dementia along with many physical issues. Dad spent most of April in the hospital and when he was released, the hospital sent a visiting nurse a couple of times a week for 3 weeks. This visiting nurse basically said I was failing at taking care of them, because I cannot force dad to drink fluids, and I can't force him to eat vegetables (he's 92 and has never eaten veggies in his life). I also can't force him to where his hearing aids or use his walker. I gave up my life of retirement and fun to do this and being called a failure was the straw.

Anyone who criticizes the efforts of a caregiver such as you under these circumstances is an idiot. You are not a dementia care specialist, you are not a medical professional, you are a daughter doing your best. He is 92. A few carrots and peas are not making a big difference at this point! Give yourself a break, and a treat. You can't care for anyone if you don't take care of yourself.

You are enough. You are good enough, smart enough, talented enough, and beautiful enough. Unfortunately you got a broken mother. That happens to some people. It is very hard, but it is not a reflection on you. You can not base your worth on her opinion. As a mother, I am proud of you. You are amazing.

Today. I’m pregnant and I got into Law school. I sold my “fun car” and have max a lot of changes to save for taking a huge pay cut while I go on mat leave (I’m the primary breadwinner) and will most likely have to dip into my savings to get by for the first year. My partner asked me if my mother would help at all and I said no. I then thought about it and I felt so sad I do t feel like I have a mom anymore. She’s an alcoholic (high functioning) and I got sober 2.5 years ago and things haven’t been the same. She’s mean and honestly it breaks my heart seeing her drunk because it reminds me of myself and how bad my mental health was to drink straight vodka at 7am. Granted she isn’t as bad as I was but it still mean and sour to be around and I miss my mom. I hate that I’m pregnant and happy and getting my life together and she’s so sad and drunk all the time.

I miss my mom, she can be right in front of me but is so emotionally unavailable all the time she might as well not be there at all.

I really miss my mom.

The last time I cried was last year, around Aug or Sept 2022. My mom was fighting with my auntie, because my auntie ditches us on family vacation to be with someone who wronged my mom badly in the past. While I'm trying my best to defend my mom and accomodate her needs, like buying a ticket to go home together and leave my auntie alone, and did my best to tell her that I never support what my aunt did, she blames be continuously for months because I didn't shout right away towards my aunt. For her, defending her means that we must go on an all-out-war with her adversary. Perhaps slap my auntie right in the face right away would be the best action for my mom. Up to this point, I didn't know whether what I did to handle those conflict is right or wrong. My work-life already f*cked up enough due to tech-winter (I work in tech industry). Until one day, when I said to my mom I leave for work, I didn't go to office. I go to nearby park and having a meltdown there. I stay at the park from 9 AM to 7 PM. I decide to contact my best friend, and he comes to the park to pick me up. We talk until late night, and he said that he'll tell some lies to my company (we work under the same company) that he just met me an I'm not feeling well, so I can take 2 days of sick leave, including the day I was at park. Luckily taking a sick leave at my company back then didn't need a doctor's written diagnose. Next day, I was spending a day at hotel alone to rest my mind. This conflict was never resolved. It is almost one year since my aunt wronged my mom. Until today, sometimes my mom would still blame me for "not standing up enough for her". Moving out is not an option. In my country, you'll be branded as "ungrateful child" if you "abandon" your parent and you'll met with many more difficulties out there. In my country (Indonesia), a child should take care of their parents by themself until your parents passed away. Even up to marriage, some people would bring along their parents. I feel helpless. Sometimes I retaliate, but it'll cost me a whole day. I must be ready to be angry the whole day once I choose to retaliate that day. It is exhausting for me as I need to tend my works, while my mom did nothing (thus she has musch energy resevoir to fight with me). Sometimes I'm just fleeing (told her I'm hanging out with friends, need to work overtime, etc). I resent her. Yet I can't do anything.

I was listening to Radiohead while driving, and thinking dark existential thoughts, as one is prone to do when listening to Radiohead and driving. I was already on the verge of tears when I saw a skinny old homeless cat. He was so beat up looking, I just lost it. Clearly life hasn't been easy for him. I felt so much sadness, I wanted to scoop him up and give him some love (and food). Then I started thinking about how much I love my 3 kitties and cats in general, and how we humans are destroying the world which means kitties are going to suffer too.

It's tearing him apart and their four young kids have been through hell. I spoke to him for awhile this morning and my mother's intuition tells me that he is not up for this battle. If the ex gets the children we'll never see them again.
It was a rough morning. I have to just have faith that my grandbabies will be ok, that God/Universe/Love will take care of them.

The last time I cried was 7/10/2012 at 1:35am. My mom had just taken her last breath while looking right at me. I was 21. Her heart stopped because the painkillers were pooling in her system and her body couldn't take it anymore. She fought Stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer from 3/14/2009 til that morning. By that time it had eaten most of her liver and so she was barely conscious. But she was still able to moan and call out for my dad, sister, and my sister's 2 kids...not once did she call out for me or my older brother. Just them. Major PTSD moment that I still relive every single night and can't escape from...kinda like I'm being haunted in my dreams. The crying has since turned to silent screaming and nightly panic attacks.

My grandmother, while dying due to metastatic breast cancer, forgot who I was. She forgot I even existed, and would become very distraught because she knew she should know me but couldn't figure it out. She eventually decided I was a friend of my mother's and I just went with it. Your mom was gone long before she died sweetie. She wasn't herself anymore. Maybe she had lost you and couldn't figure out who you were. You were there for her. You did one of the hardest things a human being can do, and you did it well. A grief support group might help.

The last time, I was watching a movie on TV that was titled 50 to 1. It's the story of a family in New Mexico who decides to race a horse in the Kentucky Derby. All sorts of mishaps happen to them and no one believes in them (that's why the 50 to 1). And everyone makes fun of the family because they have a cowcoy look and the ladies made their own "gala hats". I'm not American but I don't know why, the triumphant race of the stallion and his jockey made me cry, and to see the joy of the family. It made me cry even more when I saw that it was a true story. I do not know why. Maybe because nobody believed in them and they still succeeded. In short, it touched me a lot.

I opened the door for him, and my dog, who had been put down almost a year ago, was sitting on the front porch next to him. I started sobbing, thinking the dream was real. I woke up after two minutes of crying. I realized that it was a dream and my good boy wasn’t really home. I started to cry again. Rip my good boy blaze.

Well…

My sister came up to me and against my will licked my face. It was traumatizing. She grabbed my head in her hands to force it to her tongue despite my screaming. Anyway, we were playing though because I licked her earlier. But even though I don’t remember everything, I know that what she did was uncalled for. Strangely, I broke down and started bawling in the living room where my mom and dad and sister were after she did it. I hardly ever cry or make a big deal about the crazy stuff my sister does, but this time I was really frightened… I think I was afraid because I imagined her as just a person and not my sister.

This was a few days ago.

Happy cry: Finally figuring out my identity, and finding other genderfluid people with similar experiences. Also, listening to a lot of really emotional music at 2am.

Sad cry: Feeling like everything is changing way too fast (for rather complicated reasons that I can't explain rn) and being really overwhelmed with everything.

When they blew up the Enterprise at the end of Star Trek III. Not trying to be snarky or funny for once, but somehow that hit me even harder than Spock's death at the end of II--felt like a part of my childhood was gone. Never been much of a crier in real life--not even at my mother's funeral--but reading some of these posts makes me realize what an awesome life I've had. Sorry for everyone who has suffered or is still suffering.

My dad has Parkinson's, and on top of all the other abilities he has lost, he can barely speak or write anymore, and it won't be long until he can't communicate at all. The almost complete communication barrier is already excruciating, and soon it will be absolute. Along with other mental issues, I have agoraphobia (meaning it's extremely hard for me to leave my apartment), so I almost never see my dad. I miss him, and I know he needs me both emotionally and practically, but while my sisters are breaking themselves helping him and keeping him company, I can do next to nothing for him. The knowledge of my dad's constant suffering and my sisters' extreme stress (on top of everything, one of them was diagnosed with cancer last Fall) as well as my longing and all-encompassing guilt are the main reasons why I cry almost every day, and it was the reason why I cried most recently - even though my beloved stepdad died a little under two months ago, and my mum is getting lonely, which breaks my heart as well... I was deeply unhappy in life before my dad got sick, and I've been through some very painful things in my time, but the pain caused by my dad's sickness is beyond anything I've ever experienced. It's eating me up, and every day is hell - although less so for me than for my dad. ... I'm writing all this for therapeutic reasons, yes, but more importantly in an attempt to raise awareness. I want you all to know that Parkinson's disease is not "just" something that makes a person tremble; it takes everything away from them. It attacks every part of their system and gradually destroys them, and it hammers away at their loved ones, too. So if you get the chance, please donate to Parkinson's-related causes. That nightmarish, hellish disease must be fought.

The last serious bawl I had was in 2020 when news of Hana Kimura's death broke. 22 years with the world at her feet but taken away because of a miserable reality show and internet trolls. I followed that up with quite a lot of hate posts for the series, which in retrospect, wasn't the best of moves but I was sad, angry and pretty much only felt despair at the time. Didn't help that my dog who lived to be 11 had just died before I received the news :-(

Haven't had much to bawl about since but there have been times when I teared up remembering what transpired in 2020.

They can be very debilitating indeed. I had a Surgical Procedure yesterday and was Allergic to something which was used (not sure exactly what it was) I woke up with eyes and nose streaming, and have been having many sneezing episodes for 24 hours now. I feel exhausted and the closest I have come to crying in some time. Last time I really cried was when my ex partner (we weren't together at the time, but were still friends) dropped dead in a Subway Station, just horrible.

I rarely cry, but I feel sad a lot. So I have a lot of debilitating health problems. I'd been feeling especially bad for a while and my doctor hadn't been able to find out what was wrong. I researched my symptoms and side effects of medications I had been taking and found the most likely culprit. So I told my doctor, and she's like "OMG! I saw your blood work and that you were low on 'blank' and 'blank', but I thought it was because you're taking 'blank' medication. But it's actually a dangerous side effect of a different medication, and you have to go to the ER NOW!" So now not only did I feel like c**p, I also had to worry about getting to the ER, making the doctors there believe that I ķnew what my problem was, (because my own doctor is outside of the healthcare network in my small town and the hospital doctors here are reluctant, if not downright opposed to listening to their patients), and managing not to get admitted while still receiving the correct treatment for my problem. It was all just too much. I just broke down, thinking how I'd lost almost a year of my life to this illness, wondering why my doctor hadn't figured it out sooner, and also, knowing that I was low on the the two components in my blood that could cause coma, heart attack and, obviously, death was extremely upsetting. Then I just started thinking of all the depressing things going on in the world today, mass extinction, our ruined climate, etc, and it just broke me for a bit.

Yesterday (50m), after getting home early from work.
Spent the first part of the morning caught up in the shooting in Auckland which happened right where I get off the ferry each day. The rest of the morning was with my two younger co-workers (one had been with me during the shooting), making sure that they were okay. Fielding calls from work and family making sure we were okay and messaging my kids in case they saw the news.
Left work early so I could be there when my kids got back from school.
Not the scariest situation I've been in, not the most traumatic, but thinking about how to frame it up for my kids and the frustration and concern that this could happen in NZ.

Last time was Thursday 20. July at night. I cried because I was on holiday for a really long time and I missed home and my dog who I had not seen for over a month and I just wanted to go home. I was lying on the sofa bed which me and my mum shared because it was so big. And I am almost 11 so it isn’t so weird yet. So I was lying in the bed looking at the curtains and I saw the light from a car pass across the room and I remembered what I used to do when I was little. I used to follow the light and close my eyes whilst it passed me. Then I started to cry even more because I started to remember the time when my parents weren’t divorced yet. I still get sad after four years

Don't care if anyone ever sees this I just thought it would make me feel better to type it out. I am under much pressure from my parents at the moment to achieve well in my end of high school exams so I can get into a good university and all that. My back up has always been my secret desire to join the defence force of my country as a pilot (fast jet fighter pilot was my big goal) which I don't need the most amazing grades for. This has helped me stay calm and remember that it is not the end if I don't get all top bands in my exams (even if my parents might think it is). However a week ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible for me to be in the defence force. So I cried because in addition to now having a lifelong illness, I won't be able to have the career that I always secretly dreamed about. And I did feel better after typing this so that is good. (Also apologies for any grammar issues, I am ESL.)

Please remember that your parents' goals for you are never as important as your goals for yourself. Even if the defence force doesn't seem like an option right now, it does not mean that you have to get into university if you don't want to. I really do hope that you find a career that makes you happy, and that your health doesn't stop you from trying.
