Comments on: Confessions of a Chronic Crier http://www.misszoot.com/2007/05/09/confessions-of-a-chronic-crier/ misszoot.com - the mundane life of a horribly geeky mother of 3 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 13:32:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michelle http://www.misszoot.com/2007/05/09/confessions-of-a-chronic-crier/#comment-76095 Michelle Thu, 10 May 2007 04:40:15 +0000 http://www.misszoot.com/2007/05/09/confessions-of-a-chronic-crier/#comment-76095 I was actually called an ice queen (that was one of the nicer monikers) by men in my younger days. I was tough, cool, detached, able to handle anything - never let them see you sweat or cry. Then I found my one true love (after a bad marriage) and got pregnant a couple of time (lost them) and started my adoption. I'm not sure which of those things or in what combination caused it but I am the sappiest, weepiest chick ever now.

I burst into tears over everything. Once a man let me in front of him in the line at the grocery store, and it was a terrible day. I burst into tears and thanked him three times for being so kind and generous. He just looked at me like I was some kind of psycho and took three steps back. Not that I blame him.

I started to read part of her writings out loud to the kids, and got all choked up. My oldest knows that tone in my voice when I'm about to cry and she always turns to look at me with an expression that borders on disgust and incredulity.

My husband knocked me up; it's all his fault." That sounds like you have a whole host of other problems as knocked up sounds like you didn't WANT to be pregnant and geeeez I just can't say anything intelligent today no matter how hard I try. Sorry 'bout that. I’m pretty sure the shirt could just say, “Excuse the crying.

Tears would start streaming down my face, or worse, I'd try and hold it back and start hyperventilating. The worst part was at university in second year, wheN I had this absolutely awful violin teacher. He told me, just before my final exam, that my playing was bad and that how was I going to pass? I tried not to, but I started crying, and then I started hyperventilating, and he started screaming at me to shut up and he wasn't going to give me any sympathy and I had better shut up and play my violin right that second...so I told him to f off and I wasn't playing my violin and he could go to hell. Ha. I kinda just wanted to share that. Basically, I know what its like to cry at inopportune moments.

Although I'm not pregnant, have never been pregnant, & now that I think about it, have no excuse at all. I used to never cry, but I've turned into a bundle of weepiness over the past year or so. Did you watch the Idol Gives Back episode? Lord. I was seriously dehydrated after that, I cried so much. Can you imagine what I'll be like when (if) I get pregnant? *shudder* There aren't enough Kleenex in the world. Oh, thank God, it’s not just me.

I cry at happy things, at sad things. I can't seem to help it. Sad commercials get me, too. Othertimes I will feel weepy for no apparent reason, nothing is wrong, yet everything seems wrong, if you know what I mean? Jennifer I cried during gilmore girls too.

I do now. I want to cry when I see mom and daughter (grown up) at the mall and know I will never have that. I want to cry at mother's day because mine is in heaven. I want to cry because my princess has no grandparents. I know all of this is out of my control. I learned in business school and corporate america that crying is a sign of weakness. I used to cry every morning on my way to work after my mom died. Because i have a long interstate drive and it was my time, just me, my tissues and sad songs. I have triggers, but I try to keep tight control on my emotions. I think pregnancy crying is ok though. I try not to cry though. It feels kinda ackward. Pass the tissues, I like Kleenx with lotion. But the lotion hurts my eyes. Allergies are a great copy out. I never used to be a crier. I do now. I want to cry when I see mom and daughter (grown up) at the mall and know I will never have that.

On a medical note though, I actually had low serotonine levels in my brain and was put on Zoloft (not just for depression!) to sort of balance it out and also changed birth control pills for homone balance. There is nothing wrong with being emotional but sometimes there is a medical something behind it! Food for thought!
