When I had a bad day or depressed for certain reasons yes I cry at night. It is my private time to be alone and let it all out..no one bothers to comfort me and see me cry than myself. And when I woke up everything will be much lighter and I'm ready to face the world again..=) When life is too much..do you cry before going to sleep as well???

I did that often in the last few months. I am not used to crying right in front of my family, so I do it secretly, either in the bathroom or in the bedroom at night before sleeping. My only worry is waking up with really puffy eyes.

Yeah me too I don't want other people see me cry especially my family..I don't want them to worry about me so much..=) TIPS: Cry with your eyes wide open-that is when you do the crying before sleeping..so your eyes will not be puffy in the morning!..I'm doing that always and for me it works all the time..see if it works for you too..=) Thanks for sharing=)

no, i don't cry at night before going to sleep but there were a few times when i bursted in to crying because everthing else just failed. still, i must admit that i was filled with huge sadness sometimes at night befor going to sleep and it was weird, really weird but against these problems i fight with music.

No, not normally. But, I have heard it said that it is very good. Especially before going to sleep. This way you get all the pressure out before sleeping. You sleep better. I don't like crying because my nose always clogs up. Then I can hardly breath. Because I don't cry easily, when I do cry it is a lot, then I can't stop.

Yeah it's very good and I observed that after crying I feel very much sleepy..maybe because of the relaxation that it gives my body and mind.. Oh I see I think you just hold it up until you couldn't anymore..and when you burst it's like flood of tears you're letting out..but please always drink water if you feel that difficulty in breathing again.. Yeah I am having hard time blowing up my nose that is the funny side of it =) Thanks for sharing =)

Yeah me too. I did not know about the water. I don't cry easily. But when I cry I can't stop. It could be years and all of a sudden something is said and bang! I hate the nose stuff, hahaha! But it is better to cry every once in a while. Because I don't cry easily, I have more problems fisically. Headaces, stomach aces... When you cry you take away the stress. Well, today we are going to have a great day. A day for laughing. That too is very healthy.

Aaw that's sad, I face my problems in the day, crying won't resolve anything so why bother.

Yeah crying will not solve your problems but it will help your mind and body function better in order to make good decisions.. If you ever feel like it's too much then let it all out..every person has weaknesses and it is not to be ashamed of because you are HUMAN and it is normal.. It doesn’t matter if you fall what really matter is how you go up and mend yourself again..

I don't. I think that that is an aspect that girls/women may have, more than boys/men. Of course as a kid I cried a lot, but I had always forgot everything the next morning. My big sister wasn't like that though; If she went to sleep while crying, then she would start crying again as fast as she wakes up. Everyone has her/his own right for a private time, and some do different things during it.

Hahaha what kind of things??-lol..yeah I know that girls are more expressive than boys when it comes to their emotions..that's the reason why we cry a lot..=)

"what kind of things??" Well... Things... xD Yes, girls are mostly showing more their emotions than what boys do, but some boys are quite emotional too and cry quite much... I for my part try to be "macho" and never cry even if I felt to. It would be just embarrassing to do it, and especially in front my friends... That's maybe one reason why boys/men don't cry so much, because they have to be "cool". I have read/heard though that some women/girls like emotional men, so maybe that's not such a bad thing. What do you think? Do you like emotional boys/men?
21 Mar 10
Yes. I cried when I met someting bad. I felt weak,than I cried. I don't think crying is the bad thing. It is the great way to express my feeling.

i only cry if i had problem coz i cant help it specially at night before i sleep as thats the time that our mind is at rest from work and other things so thats the time that moments will come inside our minds and we cant help but think about it. though the next day it gives me head ache and eye bugs so i need to control myself in crying if i need to go out the next day to avoid eye bugs.

Yeah night is the perfect time to wander your mind..try to blow everything out of your nose to avoid the headache part..and try to cry with eyes with open so it will not be puffy the next day..=)

HEY kahezi...yea I cry as well sometimes at night, if my day had gone really bad. It's the same condition with me sometimes that when I am in a sad mood and I am about to cry and no one realises about it, especially my family members, then that is like too much for me to take and I rush to my bed and start crying and after sometime I fall asleep. But then, when I wake up in the morning I too wake up fresh forgetting all about the past night and even if I remember the last night, I console myself taht what had happened last day was past and I look for the following day with a smile on my face. Have a nice day!

When I was in high school I had spells of depression, and I often cried myself to sleep. I thought it was such a horrible feeling to cry myself to sleep; I felt so desolate and alone. I haven't cried to sleep since, though.

aww that's so sad. yeah. i think in high school everyone has periods where they're just confused and sad and depressed. Like last year I felt really worthless n sad because of other ppl. n altho i dont think i cried myself to sleep, i DID cry a lot. n it was just miserable. But this year I'm stronger and I'm a lot more confidant and happy! :D i think u just need to have tha moment of realization and help urself. =] n im glad ur better now.

yes, I cry especially when I'm angry...that's my way to let go of my anger. I cried every time i missed my mom too... I cried when i think of my failures... that way I can feel relieved.

Being a guy, I don't usually cry (broken bones are an exception). What made you so sad to want to cry? You're making me sad with saying no one bothers to comfort you when you're down. Hope all's better now!

Well, i do sometimes..if i have a heavy day. Its makes me very light and helps me to come out of the tough situation. So i do it. So next day when i wake up, i would feel better and start my day with a experience i learned the previous day. So crying is best one to reduce stress and heaviness on our heart!

Aww that's quite sad, and I'm sorry for that. no, ive never cried myself to sleep before. but i have cried during the day and in my bed before. and i understand, cuz when im upset and try to hold it in, i end up feeling irritated and just bad. so, i have to cry, even if it only lasts 30 seconds and is not a lot. but as soon as i let those few tears out i feel like all the pressure is lifted and feel good again. Though, I HAVE cried myself to sleep before, but not cuz of depression or anything. It's usually on those nights when I can't sleep at all, no matter what I do, and everything hurts n bothers me and im up for hours so i end up crying sometimes from the frustration.

Thank you for that=)..yeah well crying, in whatever way we do it, really makes us feel better..you are right it doesn't really have to be that much in order to feel the relief.. Well I have this tip for you, if ever you feel like crying before sleeping always cry with you eyes wide open so that you eyes in the morning with not be swollen in the morning =) Well but of course I don't want you to cry..so please do smile always =) Thanks for sharing=)

Sometimes I do but I don't restrict myself just to at night. If I get overwelmed enough I'll end up crying regardless the time of day. It leaves me both physically and emotionally exhusted and I can survive. That's the best thing I think anyway.
@khaezi (1001)

21 Mar 10
Yeah you are right, do not hold it up if you feel like crying anytime of the day just do it..it doesn't really matter when or how..=) But for me the most comfortable time is before going to sleep..I have my most private moment dark and alone..=) And I don't want anyone see my eyes after crying..it's so embarrassing =) Thanks for sharing =)

Yes i also cry at night but not always. when i got hurt from someone or things i am getting. And when i go to bed i remember all the things and cry secretly. But on that time i don't want any company that really mine time only for being fresh up. After cry we feel batter.
@khaezi (1001)

Yeah when I am too depressed,sometimes I cry my eyes out before going to sleep at night,even cry myself to sleep. It's a good way to let off the depression,but I think you had better not do it too often.
@khaezi (1001)

Yeah because I know when someone is depressed there are a lot of thinking that's going into his or her mind..there are even voices that struck his brain that he cannot stopped..together with the heavy feeling in his heart..there's is no other way than to cry everything out..=) Thanks for sharing=)
