Hi @Former-Member
and other members
Can sure understand that feeling of wanting to cry and of doing so. The reasons for wanting to cry are often justified and therefore, it is probably unfair to label ourselves as being sooks. For me it has normally occurred as a result of feelings of loss, family members, Mum in particular, friends and loss connected with broken or unfulfilled relationships, missed and lost opportunities and the feelings associated with family members being too far away or distant in other ways and for a variety of reasons; leading to feelings of severe loneliness. Like so many other members here, I can state them because I've experienced each of them.
There have been times, especially over the past few months, when those feelings have been very strong and close to the surface. And they are often to do with issues which I am addressing in the counselling environment. In fact, those feelings are a large part of the reason for discussion with a counsellor.
The one bright light in my life is the fairly recently renewed connection with my daughter and her son. Sentiment with which, I believe, that you can very likely identify and appreciate.
The recent death of my daughter's aunty also brought back reminders of past connections with her mother's family, now broken. But feelings that still exist; part of my feelings that I need to address to achieve and maintain equilibrium in my life.
I talk about my own experience to show, while I cannot actually know anyone else's situation or feelings, that by presenting the reasons for mine, others may know I can empathise with their feelings, at least to some degree.
And, yes, I have cried and no doubt will again in the future. It is part of our way, in some measure, of expressing those feelings, clearing and, hopefully, mentally and emotionally refreshing ourselves.
With Care, Concern and Best Wishes
