Ever feel like sitting down and crying for no apparent reason?

I've been feeling that way all day. Nothing specific, just feel like letting loose with the tears. And just today--not some ongoing depression.

Odd.

I figured it would be a good time to just let it out and then I hear this little voice "Mommy?"

Damn:-(

Just a beagle, who will, no doubt, wash my face while I cry.

There are worse things.

She was very sweet about it, just curled up on the couch with me and passed her hand over my head reciting a little poem I tell her when she is hurting. It made me feel tons better.

Cheer up. There is enough sadness in the world without you feelin' blue.

Smile, its hard to feel bad when you smile, even if its fake.:7

these days though, when I cry,I cry for those victimized by war and poverty. For the losses that can never be regained.

Crying washes the soul :)

Sometimes I know why, sometimes I don't. When I don't, that just makes it worse.

Just gotta keep telling yourself that it won't last.

:hug:

I'm like Dennis Leary on Rescue.

Nothing wrong with that. Maybe the subconscious has been working overtime, and the feedback to the conscious mind is saying "you need a good, long cry" and that's what you're getting.

I say let it out. C'mon...you're not one to hold back so much (*ahem* our back and forth in GD).

I hope whatever it is gets better/goes away.

One of the things I like about you is that you can separate a disagreement on one topic from a personality (could you teach this skill to your girlfriend?). Really, I respect that. When you and I disagree, I always feel a little sad (may be part of it), for fear it will poison all of our interactions. But it doesn't. Amazingly mature for internet discussion!

Also, I'm tired, I moved this week which always makes me feel kind of homesick, anniversary of my mom's death Thursday, got told I'm going to hell by a colleague I liked, my cat is sick and they don't know why, death of a parishioner. All this AND the Middle East.


Hmmm...maybe not so "no apparent reason" after all.

Thanks!

to give you a :hug:


:)

you listed a lot of good reasons to cry.

Thank you very much

I do have a lot of reasons to cry.

Thanks.

I think she does very well in the same fashion. There will always be disagreements here, it's a matter of not getting personal or tagging each other outside of that topic.

It seems all those things might add up to some need for emotional release. Sure as hell would for me.

BTW, your colleague is right. You ARE going to hell because of your disdain for pitbulls.

I'm kidding, of course. I hope that made you laugh, as that was honestly my intent.

because we disagree about one subject. She's very clear about this. No matter how close we are on other topics, she dismisses me out of hand. Not even close to your way of debating.

And my colleague condemned me to hell for saying Muslims have rights, too. But, if it weren't that, it would be stem cells, or something. Most of my peers here don't think I'm Christian. That gets tiresome.

how others base what another is or isn't (in this case, you being Christian) based on their own perception or preconceived idea.

No, wait...not funny. It's sad. Especially in this case, given the examples you have. Total bullshit.

That's not enough for some. And my church is the lefty church in a right-ish town. It gets lonely.

I'm gonna walk the beagle.

Have a good 'un. And wish your girlfriend well.

Those are strange days. :hug:

Haven't had one lately thank god

and then some Lemon Ice. That should help.

I actually have a reason so I guess that doesn't count.
