cry less

My friend told me she didn’t get into med school so I went to spend the evening with her. It was hard not to cry because we had been imagining that we’d spend the rest of our studies together.
The next day, I still hadn’t cried about it. My shift was almost over when the intern asked me if I was okay. So I told him and burst into tears.

This is the second time he sees me crying but I believe (or at least, I hope) he won’t jump to conclusions. I told him I didn’t want him to think I was weak and he just said “That’s normal; it’s good to cry from time to time”.

Truth is, he was right. I feel so much better.

From now on, I’ll avoid crying in front of people.
I don’t mind crying when I’m alone.
I simply the fact people judge you because you cried once in front of them. Besides, it makes you seem weak. Which I hate.

Still crying. I guess it is just an expression of who I am. I am sensible, susceptible and caring. I do not see the point.
I mostly cry when I’m sad; so if I want to stop crying, I should stop being sad. But that’s another story.

I can say that, at 18, I cry about once a week.
I can cry because of a beautiful song, because I suddenly feel alone, because of a movie …
I cry more often when I am tired or when I’m suffering.
Sometimes, there are tears of happiness: when I got into med school, when I graduated, when I saw someone I missed a lot …

I’m not sure I want to cry less.
I believe the reason I’m crying so much is because I’m super sensible but also because I keep so much to myself. At some point, I just have to let it go.

I feel that if I’m crying I’m giving someone else energy and thus power over me. I’ve started crying less over drama now because I see the haters as silly and I’m NOT about to give them anything over me. I win. They lose.

I’m crying now writing this and making goals. I don’t get it…I cry ALL the time. Happy,sad,stress,when I pray I cry. How do I stop this??! I cry at work, and feel as though it makes me look like a weak person. I’ve been like this since I was a kid. I remember my parents always telling me to stop crying. And still I cry.

Ugh. I cry so much and I’m too old for this. People mistake the tears for weakness and if anyone knows me I am NOT weak. I’ve found that when I cry I go somewhere else. Focusing on the here and now by naming colors around me or even envisioning myself in a peaceful white room help curb the tears. I still haven’t managed to control it completely though because what I’ve mentioned before takes a lot of concentration which I don’t always remember.

its like something makes me sad or mad or happy or ill be laughing or whatever! and BAM! here come the tears and i get really ugly when i cry. my face gets all red and my eyes puff up, my breathing is strange, and i’m practically gasping. i cant get full words out. its awful. but i dont want to cry so much

i think i really have gotten more of a grip on my life and also try to think of things in perspective…:)

I cry so much. Over any little thing anyone says. It gets me and other people upset!! I know I have PMS at the moment, so naturally I’m crying more, but other times of the month have also proven to tear me up.

I’m getting sick of it, I feel like a crybaby whenever I start crying when my boyfriend is playfully teasing me or when my mom asks me to clean up my room.

I ask this; When you feel you are about to cry, what do you do? Are there any techniques I could employ to help cut back on my crying? I’m very sensitive to stress, and my mom is going to sign me up for yoga.

It’s also summer, and I’m happiest when I’m busy. My boyfriend is working long hours and is busy with his band, so I’m alone most days of the week. I have no job (Though I am looking) and I live in the country. I’m trying to do odd jobs for money, but I never seem to get around to do them. Any tips on what I could on the days I’m not hanging out?

PS- I have two close friends at the moment. One is visiting her dad for a few weeks, and the other is busy with work, so hanging out with them isn’t an option at the moment.

In conclusion, I think being busier would help me cry less. Irony at it’s best..
