Poll How Do You Cry?

[jo may]

Mostly when I get one of my migraines due to his constant going on at me. I'm talking about my ex his voice lives in my head. Or when i just can't cope with everyday life i cry a lot.

I use to not cry at all, ever. If you cried you'd get the wire hanger whooping or the bare butt smacking, cold face slap.
I usually only cried during mother's day...timed.
I never noticed a cry until I couldn't stop while talking at the mental hospital intake, where my friends were dropping me off. I asked the doctor why was this happening, WHAT was happening, Then I didn't stop. Snot, screaming, whining, sobbing, unashamed, ashamed, hiding my face, talking normally, off in a corner, while shopping, while sleeping, .............geez, big old CRY BABY :cry: I have no shame now...except maybe the snot thing...even then not so much :)

It's good to cry it cleans the soul, heart and mind.

I've barely been able to get a single tear drop out in a long time. I used to cry a lot. The second I admitted to having had trauma to my therapist....I haven't been able to cry. Sometimes I really want to.

I rarely ever cry because my husband/abuser would hurt me worse if I did. When I do cry it is semi-silently and usually only in the throws of a deep depressive episode. Usually crying just makes me feel worse and sometimes leads me to drink to numb it away.

When I cry I can't stop my self I'll cry any place any time whether appropriate or not, so if people have a problem with that then their problem! I can't help it.

I don't cry easily, in fact, I can sometimes go for years without crying. I cried one tear when my hubby died, then one more when my mom died. Finally, when my daddy died, I cried uncontrollably in a church service for 20 mins or so. I was asked to leave that church, as I was too disruptive the pastor told me. I gladly left, as obviously it was not the right church for me. They knew my daddy had just died, yet they had no compassion. I have cried silently in other churches since, which no one objected to, of course.

I was taught not to cry as a child.

I was given something to cry about, until I had no tears left.

"I" don't cry-my body cries and I don't feel it-not the hurt, not the relief, nothing.

...My mothers favourite thing to say to me when I got caught crying was-What are you crying about? I'll give you something to cry about.

I was crying all the time in August September October....my nervous system was so dysregulated and I was starting DBT and trying to get out of my cave basement in a real way for the first time in years...I felt like I was going mad (though really I had been for awhile and just hadn't known it). I won't fight it now if it needs to come, just gets it out of you quicker I guess but not in front of anyone if I can help it.

I won't allow anyone to see or hear me cry. I could be crying right next to someone and they would never know. I learned to cry, sob, and scream silently.

I used to cry quietly. I wouldn't say it was silent per-say. Maybe sometimes.

Since a certain trauma about 8 yrs ago. I went into a shock and I just started crying loudly and screaming. I cry just about almost everyday for about 8 yrs. It just forced its way out like that after subsiding from the shock. I don't know...maybe its till me being in the shock in another way. When I get triggered really bad it could turn into a violently continual scream as though I am being attacked with a violent nightmare ten times more than an attack.
