Random Crying?
 

Have you for one reason or another cried really for no reason. Like I was watching TV the other day and it wasn't really anything depressing or anything but it was sad in nature. I just started to cry for about 3 minutes and then afterwards I felt really good! It was weird...anyone else?

yeah used to happen to me in class in elementary school. really embarrassing.doesnt happen much now but occasionally it will happen and im not even sad at all when it happens i dont even well up the tears just drip out.

I cried for a very long time today...but there was a very good reason. I never cry for no reason. I actually hadn't cried in a looong time before today.

I've done that. I think sometimes its related to PMS. I can be laughing my head off and next thing I know I'm crying. Not crying because I'm laughing too hard. It's downright, boohoo kind of cry. Fortunately it doesn't happen often. It usually happens when I'm down physically. Ill or anemic or PMSing. Just ask hubby. Stay away when I PMS.

If I'm particularily stressed, which happens all too often, then I'm much more likely to break down over something that normally wouldn't bother me. Plus, I'm generally an emotional person, so yes, I have just broken down and cried before, but I wouldn't call it a common occurence.

It's probably some transient biological quirk. I remember laughing once for no reason -- wasn't even anyone around. And I wasn't stoned. Pretty weird.

I feel things on a deeper level than most. I can cry easily when I tell a friend how I feel about them or during a sappy romantic movie. Some say it's an over emotional reaction; I look at is as a gift.

i have to admit that i havent for a long time, but i did for a while after i broke up an an ex and a lot of stuff around me reminded me of her. couldnt listen to a lot of music for a long time after that unless it was really heavy or depressing.

do feel like it sometimes but dont.

It's rare, but I have been known on occasion to just sit and have a good cry.

And I do feel *so* much better afterwards. I suppose the release of a pent-up emotion (much like an emotional orgasm??) is what brings the high afterwards.....

Umm...I don't know about all you ladies who posted above me...but no, I do not randomly cry. If ever.

I generally do not waste time feeling sorry for myself. There's no point. It's much more stress-relieving to go destroy something (lighbulbs work wonders) or to just scream at the intern. Poor intern. Oh well, I'll never get my comeuppance. No comeuppance, I say!

haven't cried since my dog died... I need a really good reason too.

and it's "cum-uppins" ;)

Whenever I'm tired my eyes tear. It gets annoying because everyone thinks I'm crying...but there I am with tears streaming down my face every night.

sucks

heh well if that's crying then i cry everytime i yawn :o

Umm yeah...I'm no woman...haha. Not taht even matters or anything but in any case I think it had to do with stress and some other things but it was really odd when it did in fact happen.

It always seems that right around Academy Award season, all the movies try to jerk those tears from ya.... they did a good number on me this year with all the various bigscreen and tv movies.

When I'm talking about something really amazing my eyes start to glaze over... damn me and my masculine sensitivity...

I remember going to a talk where the guy said random crying was a sign of depression, anxiety, and just about anything else under the sky :)

I think a random cry is good every now and then, especially when you feel better afterwards.

That said, I haven't cried cried in a while. I always try to fight it.

*needs to take own advice*

I cried this morning.
But that was because I was on my bike and the wind was in my eyes, and I cry when the wind is in my eyes.
I don't know if that's random or not. I guess wind is kinda random.
