How do you hide it after the deed? I’ve been having them ugly crying breakdowns and I wanna keep them low key. 🤫
Posted by kachi_cake

Normalize crying.


It’s not where I live so I need ideas. 😔

Cry in the shower


Great idea, can’t control my breakdowns though. 😂
Why can’t you just go to your room and cry to your heart’s content whenever 24/7?

I usually have to be with my family or out with people. Will definitely start scheduling some emotional care time for real.
Oh like this?

Before, I'd say don't let anyone see/know you cry but I see how that can be a disadvantage.

I guess it depends on context.

Personally, I schedule my cry. I cry before/after work or when tasks are done and my setting feels comforting.

That’s smart. I’ll take that over getting badly sick every now and then from bottling up emotions.

100% scheduling works. While I was juggling making A’s in my college classes and dealing with a heartbreak, I’d promise myself things like after the exam is over I’d drive around and cry until I couldn’t cry anymore.

I wish I was that graceful about it. Someone would say something and I’ve been trying to keep my shit together all week and then I fall apart. 😀

Will definitely try that this week.
No idea, I'm a Pisces...
my life feels like a makjang today

and face masks are very useful to hide the crying

but my gemini neighbor blasted this song next door:

How the heck does one schedule when they will cry?!

It’s definitely efficient. I can make myself cry on demand.

Listen gurl there’s usually always a place near you to be alone. When you feel yourself wanting to cry tilt your head back a bit and find the nearest place to be alone and cry to your hearts content. Or wear sunglasses each works well


Yeah sunglasses are a classic in my book. Also, crying when I’m driving. 😂

Cry and then watch kitten/cat videos


Hell yeah. You’d make a great therapist, I’d recommend you to someone. 😂
Posted by Stony



Like, come on


There’s a new pregnant cat in the neighborhood so I’m so excited!! Can’t wait to see the little ones. 😆
Crying is spontaneous, it can’t be forced

If it happens and people have a problem with it, that’s their issue, not mine ... I’d never hide it.
Cancer here and professional cryer. I cry where I want and us ugly as I want and give 0 shits.

My advice is to also give 0 shits lol.
I don't cry, I just get a headache lol

Good for you 👍

Worrying what people think is a life half lived 😬

I feel that, when I’m sad and crying I like to be alone. I hate for people to see me cry.

Thankfully, I can always find some alone time to do my ugly cry.
Same. I can't up and cry in front of nobody. It make me feel weak I don't care what anybody say. Now I'll fake cry in front of some people to get what I want and it seem to work each and everytime. But I don't make that a habit of manipulating.
Agree with scheduling. Hold it in until you’re alone and then you’re good to go.

You’re so lucky! 🥺

I’m not in tune with my emotions or expressing them yet, and I feel ashamed of crying or feeling sad sometimes. It’s beginning to change so I’m very happy and grateful. 💯

I wish I had it in me. I have a long journey to get that comfortable, but I’m sure I will eventually.

I used to get very sick and be hospitalized and no doctor can tell wtf is wrong with me. Now that I know it’s because of my repressed emotions I refuse to put myself through that again.

It’s not about what people think, it’s harassment, insensitive comments, being made fun of for crying, or people insisting on knowing what’s wrong.

Crying? Only at hotels in different states, ALONE!

Last time that happened: 2016.


I used to do that as well. Now that I’ve stopped disassociating, my reality makes me sad and repressing that is not healthy. 😂

Why do you have those people in your life or let them bring you down?
Always carry a pocket knife and onions with you. Then you can cry wherever and whenever. Everyone is going to think it's from chopping the onions.

It’s a culture thing mostly so most people are like that where I live, people will do anything but go to therapy. Not gonna be where I am for long though so it’s tolerable for now.

I’m desperate, don’t give me crafty ideas because I might try them. 😂
Huh are you crying at normal every day things? Cuz I get teary for happy things I watch on tv n I can’t control that very well. I take deep breaths n it helps.

Or r u crying because ur sad about something that happened to you? B/c the only way to fix this one is to look at the cause n see if it can healed

I wouldn't worry about that. I would let karma handle sitchations like that. They gonna get it trust me. It's nine times out of ten those youngins that just coming into this world that'll try and bring you down. That's why I hang around baby boomers. They make me feel at peace.

Edit: correction. Silent generation. All the folks I hang around with and feel very close to were born before 1946. And I'm not including those Scorpio girls they from my generation and they are only side kicks. So they don't count.

I have had those too and they are embarrassing aren't they!

I always hate myself afterwards!

So..

If I feel its going to happen, I find what helps is this..

Take a deep breath - this will calm you down.

Cough - Lots! Because it weirdly controls the Crying reaction.

Leave the situation FAST.. saying the words "Excuse me."

Then find somewhere private and cry your eyes out until you feel better.

I've actually done this.

And it works.

It helps you compose yourself.


Hope it helps for you x

Yeah, those people are close to me and know exactly how to hurt me and cut deep into my emotional wounds, I have a thick skin actually so nothing actually gets to me but when it’s the few people I love it just hurts like crazy. That’s why I will move away and keep my moments with them short and sweet (Vacations and holidays).

Sometimes happy tears, other times sad ones. Like, I can’t bottle my emotions up or control them anymore, been having a few hard days and can’t help but feel bad for myself. 😞

You need to surround yourself with better people .... they sound cold ... ugh
Why is everyone crying? I mean I cry when someone I like or a pet dies or someone I like moves away. I don't cry over a broken heart it just makes me angry and vengeful. I cry when I'm in physical pain. I'm sorry everyone is in so much pain.

I cry when i’m moved - happy or sad

People don’t have to be in pain to cry

Its very healthy ....

I guess it could be the difference between air and water dom processing things differently?

Helplessness usually triggers my sadness and the past and the effect of the insanity I went through had on me till this day and the fact that I almost have little to no memories of my childhood. 🤷🏻‍♀️😪
