When is the last time you've truly cried and why?

[TakingBackSunday]

As in: emotional, tears down the cheeks, possibly even sobs.

For me: a week ago.  It had been several months since the last time.  Reason?  Went to a wedding by myself (UGHHH I KNOW) and just got über depressed about how I haven't made strides in my life ala the married couple I was there for.

when my last grandparent died last year

[Madrun Badrun]

I haven't cried since I was in highschool because I am a manly man.  And even then it took Grave of the Fireflies to break my manly composure.

Once when I was a little kid and sick with a fever, I cried; The cause? The episode of Mr. Bean where he loses his car.  Man he loved that car.

but you seem so happy, bro

That's because I no longer have anything to do with them. It was a rough few years before I fully nutted up, so to speak.

[ToxicAdam]

There's a couple songs that will make me well up every time. I listen to them when I want a good release.

[Tasty]

For some reason I've become more emotional as I've gotten older, and not just with sad stuff. Today if I watch Looney Tunes I burst out laughing every three minutes, but when I was a kid I just sat and stared. Same with Courage, etc. Maybe being in the world has made me realize how absurd these cartoons are.

Anyways I can't remember really bawling in the last ten years, but I've cried during some movies and TV shows. (The Fountain, The Body (Buffy), and The Gift (Buffy) consistently do me in.)

Yeah yeah,

For non-media stuff? I don't think so. Not even at the funeral for my cousin, even though I wanted to. Real life stuff is harder to justify for some reason. It's a bit too real. Media stuff I can just shrug off afterwards.

i cried when i came in andrex's mom's mouth. i mean, the consideration touched me, especially given that my bell end was spelunking her anterior gapecave not three minutes previous

cry evry time

[Mr. Gundam]

When my daughter was born. Everyone says it happens, but you've got no idea just how much you're overcome with emotions.

[Van Cruncheon]

i didn't cry when my daughter was born! i don't think i've cried since i was like 12. my old man said cryin' was for pussies, and i took that shit special fellow SERIOUSLY

[lennedsay]

I'm pretty sure my husband still tears up at least once a day over our baby girl. I'm the same way. I think I married a woman.

Can't complain though. He does a great load of laundry.

When ever the last time I saw a dog die in a movie was :'(

[CatsCatsCats]

This thread is crazy to me how rarely you guys cry.

[Momo]

The last time I honestly cried was when a girl I adored died of an overdose.

[nudemacusers]

This thread is crazy to me how rarely you guys cry.

Well I'm talking 'true crying'. Not movie misting and etc. Like a real hardcore crying jag.

[naff]

I'd just finished watching season 1 of forbrydelsen, was quite high and it was the first time (and only time)  I really broke down and cried since my dad died and I broke up with my girlfriend of 5 years. Had insomnia the other night and felt pretty emo and tried to cry for the catharsis and hopefully some sleep but I couldn't  :'(

I'll get emotional/sad/misty eyed regularly, but the last time I experienced full on tears crying was when Lil' Gundam was born.

[Human Snorenado]

The last time I legit cried was a little more than a year and a half ago, when I thought my dog was going to have to be put down.  I didn't know it at the time, but he has a condition called degenerative disk disease, which basically means his back is fucked up and he's not as spry as he used to be, but sometimes it can get extra fucked up and he doesn't walk right, or if it's really bad, he can't walk at all until he lays down for like a day.  I didn't know that, and thought I was leaving him at the vet overnight for observation, and that the next day he wouldn't be any better and I would have to tell them to put him down.

Anyway, I went home and cried like Brandnew at a sewing circle.  Serious, full body sobs, face buried in a pillow kind of shit.  I have no clue what the fuck is going to happen to me when that fucker does actually die.

[Himu]

last fucking week. a good cry is therapeutic and feels good.

[king of the internet]

Full cry? Honestly can't remember. Probably in an exhausting fight with an ex. Almost broke earlier this year when I had to take someone really close to the airport and say goodbye to them for a long time. Had to step into a bathroom stall all red eyed and shit. But I suppressed it like a man. Totally don't feel that shit all the time, that would be so lame if I did.

[Human Snorenado]

Also, some true bitches up in hurr (Himuro, Lends and Van Cruncheon not withstanding).  Y'all need to go back and ready our BOOK ON MANLINESS, where it describes how a man deals with feels: by bottling them up until you cry while watching something stupid like Dodgeball.

I can usually hold it together until I go to a strip club. One lapdance and it's waterworks.

What a pussy.

thank god

[Vizzys]

suffering silently is what I do best

men dont cry

Im sure this method wont backfire horribly

[Polari]

Crying takes the sad out.

[Atramental]

The last time I remember crying hard was when I saw the Planet Earth trailer for the first time with the Sigur Ros song "Hoppipolla". This was about 2 years ago.

I don't know why that set me off so badly. Heck, I'm even choking up right now just thinking about it.

[fistfulofmetal]

Can't say. I don't react to sad stuff with crying. I get misty eye'd and stuff but never straight up crying. Maybe when I was really young but I wouldn't remember exactly.

[Shaka Khan]

Last year when my mom underwent a major surgery, my sisters were acting all melodramatic around when she came back to her room and my dad let out one of his signature roars to shut them up. Minutes later I went to the bathroom next to a small waiting room and witnessed my dad having a semi-breakdown in a way I've never seen in my entire life.

Fuck your gay ass wedding.

[Polari]

Oh man I didn't even read the OP. What a pussy.

[Shaka Khan]

There's a couple songs that will make me well up every time. I listen to them when I want a good release.

Fast Car used to do it for me. I related to that song too strongly for my own good.

[Polari]

Also my grandma died last year but I didn't cry because she was really old and had dementia. Fucking dementia. That and Alzheimer's are the two last things I ever want to get.

[Eli Gulgin]

Yeah my last living grandparent has really bad dementia and she's been in a dementia home for years already and turned 97 last week. I don't think she'll last long anymore but then again I thought that 5 years ago too. She seems to be in pain so when she goes it won't be that sad since she hasn't really been here ever since her stroke and it will end the pain. Fuck dementia for sure.

The last time I really cried was a few weeks ago when I had a super frustrating fight with my sister and I was thinking "I'll never speak to that bitch again". We're cool now though lol.

I have to say those dog movies are the WORST. When my dog died, who had been my absolute best friend since childhood, I had quite the nervous breakdown and yadda yadda yadda, I spent the rest of the year just basically crying after my dog So as a result I can not watch a movie with a dog in it because they always die and I'd cry for days so fuck that.

[Polari]

Yeah my remaining grandma has it too and has been trucking along for like 10 years now. They thought she was gonna die a few weeks ago from an infection or something but nope. Seems pretty healthy otherwise. The one that died got pneumonia and it took her out within a couple of days so I guess that side of it was quick at least.

[Polari]

Premium's one

[Cerveza mas fina]

Well I might as well say it, last week we went for an early echo and the foetus had no heartbeat. The last few days have sucked and I have cried more then once.

[Polari]

Sorry man, that sucks.

[Polari]

Oh OK. Yeah I was never really quite clear on the distinction.

[Rufus]

Well I might as well say it, last week we went for an early echo and the foetus had no heartbeat. The last few days have sucked and I have cried more then once.

Now I feel bad for laughing at the Roman Polanski thread so much.

Condolences to both of you.

[Human Snorenado]

Jesus Lager, I'm sorry.  Condolences, sorry for being a shithead to you.

[Mupepe]

I think last October.  I had a super real dream where my dad was still alive and he called me to tell me that he loved me and missed me.  I was fine when I woke up but as I was getting ready for work I couldn't stop thinking about it and realized I hadn't heard my dad's voice in so long and that before my dream I couldn't remember what it had sounded like.  I had to go to work and have an important performance review too.  Bah.

Well I might as well say it, last week we went for an early echo and the foetus had no heartbeat. The last few days have sucked and I have cried more then once.

Holy shit, man.  My condolences.  I can't imagine what you're going through.

[Shaka Khan]

Ah shit. My condolences bro.

I'm not the kids type, but reading that hits heart. Stay strong Lager

[TakingBackSunday]

it was all part of the plan to set the pussy pole so low (high?) to get true feels from you people

[nudemacusers]

lager that sucks.

Oh I'm incredibly embarrassed.  Shit like that makes a lot of sense though since I'm an ninthing

[Diunx]

When my grandma died three years ago.

[TakingBackSunday]

oh good lord no.  I actually had a decent enough time there, buddied up with a couple of people my age and drank a few beers.  But I was otherwise pretty fucking depressed, seeing as though I was surrounded by happy couples.  Went home, cracked a beer, cried.

But I also cry during many movies so meh

[Himu]

Kosma I wish I could hug you.

[Mupepe]

I had a grandma who started to get "a bit senile" when I was a kid. For a long time it wasn't so bad. She would sometimes ask the same questions twice during a conversation, and she couldn't really follow along with movie plots very well. Then one year, she came over for Thanksgiving. About an hour after she and her husband went home, we got a call from her asking what we had done for Thanksgiving. I think that was when it really hit most of us that she was in serious and irreversible decline. It only got worse after that. She died a few years back, but she was a heartbreaking shell of herself for the better part of a decade before passing.

This kind of stuff is frightening and depressing

My great grandmother had alzheimers.  I was too young to really understand (6 or 7), but I remember her chasing me and my siblings around the house when we stayed the night once.  We locked ourselves in a room.  She thought we were intruders and she called my uncle who had to calm her down.  She was scared shitless.  That always stuck with me.  Then there were little things.  Like she would give us pumpkins for Halloween and then my mom would tell us we had to give them back because now she was accusing us of stealing them.  She'd ask me to plant flowers with her and then when they'd start to grow she'd yell at me for planting in her garden.  But she wasn't that bad.  I still mostly remember the good things.  I used to "shoot" her with my finger.  "Pew pew" and she'd grab her heart and fall to ground.  She was incredible.  She'd stay with us for hours watching Beavis and Butthead and all sorts of stupid shit.  She just wanted to be with us.

It really broke my heart when I got older and my mother told me that before she died she kept asking where my grandpa was (her son in law, but he took care of her until the day he died. My grandma had passed from cancer years earlier).  He had died about 2 years earlier and my mom at first would try to get her to remember that he had died.  But she said it killed her everytime because it was like the first time she heard it.  She would break down and my mom had to watch it and try to comfort her.  She said she learned after a while to just tell her that he was at work or that he had gone to the store and she would just hope that she would forget about it soon. 

[Cerveza mas fina]

Thanks guys, in for a second scan today to make sure. Then we will have to have it removed as its a missed miscarriage :/ Its the worst thing ive had to deal with and it sucks cause we are both abroad away from our families. We really need to move back. I dont really know how to deal with any of this, today i left work midday cause I couldnt concentrate. Ive also passed on a job offer two weeks ago cause I wanted security for the baby.

But the worst thing is i cant think of anything to make my fiancee feel better.

On grandma's, mine had Alzheimers and the disease is horrible.

[Himu]

I'm so sorry. Maybe you guys should consider moving back. Where is home for her? Isn't she Irish?

[Steve Contra]

That's awful Kosma.  At least it was caught soon enough so that your fiancee's health wasn't jeopardized.  Cold comfort now I know.

[Rufus]

My grandparents are all in the ground already. I don't think any of them made it to 70, but I'm not sure on my father's side. Mostly heart disease I think. I'm not counting on living till 70 either, but you never know. Part of me is happy that they were lucid when they went, but then again, they went fairly early, so... Count yourself lucky if you live till 90 and are mostly healthy.

When she's ready, you should try and find an option for counseling and let her talk it out in some way shape or form. She might not want to, but it will help.

I agree with this.  It's not something she should bottle up and it can be very destructive emotionally.  Just be strong for her and when you feel like the time is right push her to talk to a professional about it.  Both of you.

[Brehvolution]

I know what you are going through Lager. Back in April, my wife's sister went into labor at 22 weeks. The doctors tried to stop it but couldn't. The baby didn't live 3 days.
Stay strong for her.
