I am not having a very good day today. I am stressed out because today I just found out that we have another un-expected amount of money we have to pay. Things were all ready tight financially and now they are just going to snap. I guess anything could send me over the edge, but something just got me thinking about my dog that we had to put down about a year and a half ago. That just sent me over the edge, the dog always made feel better when I was sad and stressed n=ou and now she is not here. I have just been balling my eyes out for the last 20 minutes. I think I just really needed to have a good cry. Does this every happen to you?

Yes I think having a good cry sometimes can help us burst our emotions and ease the sadness we are feeling. I have been doing that since I got married when I have no one to talk to except my four month old son because my husband is at work and I don't want him to know I am sad. I am sad because I want to get back to work but can not do anything since we have no babysitter yet. I am sad whenever I think that I am no longer giving money to my sister who is still in college. I was the one who sent her to school since 1st year and she is now in 3rd year she just got a part time job in a fast food. I am sad when I think that my husband is having a hard time at work, earning all the money to pay the house rent, electric bills, water and cable. But after crying all those tears wipe out my sadness then I feel better and back to normal again. Sometimes it helps to cry not because you are hurt but just because you feel stressed and sad. So my advice to you is go ahead and do that with a little whisper of prayer...then you will feel better.

I have always been a bit of a cryer, it doesn't take much to set me off, I guess i am a very sensitive person and I also feel over peoples pain so i even spend a lot of time crying about things that don't even have anything to do with me...I hope things work out for you...

It has often been said that laughter is the best medicine and in some ways I agree with that. Over the years I have found having a good old cry can be a great way to clear out the things getting us down. It released a negative build up of emotions and can make a person feel quite uplifted afterwards. Try to think back on the happy times you shared with your dog rather than the sadness and feelings of loss at not having her with you.

There is ALWAYS something coming up that stresses me out. Especially money! But I do my best and that's really all you can do. But i'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. And yes, It does feel good to have a good cry. It lets out emotions. I do it about everyday. But then i'm fine and happy the rest of the day! ;)

hi, yeah it has happened to me when I was facing divorce and not knowing how I could pay for things. I called my aunt, she is a social worker and she told me to look in to a consolidation loan from my credit union. I got approved and the payments were smaller than if I tried to pay on the individual bills. Hope you will start feeling better.

we all need a good cry, that is why there are lacrimal glands in our eyes to release stresses that we can't bear to ease our minds and to have peace of mind. isn't it after crying we feel better even how mountainous our problem is, which the way we should think and feel about our problems.

It's now 10:30 at night and I did not have a very good day either and felt like crying my eyes out too but was at work and it was hard enough holding back the tears. Just couldn't concentrate on work , so I made several mistakes, and was having alot of trouble focusing due to our financial situation, husband was laid off a couple of weeks ago. A couple of small minor things have come up that I have to put money out for that I was not planning on. It seems like I have to watch every cent. I sure do hope things improve for you real SOON!!!!!! Sometimes a good cry is what we need. It's okay!!!

I am not really a cryer. I am more of a stessor. I shake my leg, I pace, I get really physical when stress and anxiety get to me. I can't sit still, I can't sleep. I am probably iratable with my loved ones. Usually a nice long talk with my wife helps me to calm down. She balances me out.

It happens to me, but not for the same reason. Money is tight for me, but I manage. For me, the crying is usually around holidays and it is cuz of a lot of junk that's happened throughout my life with my family and all. Either way it does suck and I agree sometimes you just have to let it out!

Happens to be all the time, when i feel so stressed out and problems seems to keep on building up, i usually shut myself inside my room and cry my heart out. i guess it really help to release all those emotions that locked up deep inside, those emotions that we usually try to ignore and pretend that it isn't there. After a good cry, I usually feel a lot better already, with more resolve to face each problem one at a time and work my way out.

Yes, sometimes if i feel so depress and i really wanted someone to cry on.. if i feel this way, i will cry alone, then i will contact a friend to have a good talk and so that i can express what i trully feel... also i can talk to my mother..its' good to have a good cry and to have someone to cry on to ease the pain..and it makes you feel good after a good cry,but you have someone to talk to.. it could really help..

Yes, I have done that. Sometimes I just get sad....Probably if I'm over-tired or too much on my head. A good cry can sometimes help. I'm sorry you are having such a bad time of things and I hope they start looking up soon.

Yes, this happens to me quite often! Crying usually makes me feel better, so I just let it rip sometimes. I'm sorry that you are feeling depressed and that money is getting tight. I'm right there with you. We are having the same kind of money issues, especially with me not working. I hope you feel better soon. I'm here if you need me!
