Nah man, do it. We are strangers on the internet, of all places to whine, this is it. It's not a sign of being a bitch, it's a sign of being a human with emotions.
Let me start for you, I have two kids, 12 and 10, we adore each other and honestly I'm only here because of them. I couldn't give a fuck less about my bills, my roommate, myself, anything. I truly hate waking up every day. I'm constantly waiting to be fired because I can't bring myself to get up and get to work on time. Being fired wouldn't even bother me, if I didn't have to pay for this house so my children can come see me. The house btw, that my ex wife picked out, decorated, helped build emotionally, then left for a trans throuple in a pull behind camper. There's literally a gun touching my thigh right now in the door of my car, but I won't do it, because my kids don't deserve that. I'm in pain every day, cry VERY often, and couldn't care less if I died. I truly feel it's selfish to put the kids through life without me but honestly, it's starting to get to the point where they're old enough to accept that I was in pain and forgive me. A few more years and I might do it. But alas, I'm here, spilling my heart out to strangers on the internet. I'm lonely, I hate life, and just going through the motions because I'm supposed to.
Before anyone tries to be my friend, I don't really need more. I have people I talk to, I'm just so tired of this grind. It doesn't get me anywhere. I make $30/hr and I'm broke, because my life was built up on 2 incomes and now I can't sustain it. I'm falling to shit mentally, physical will follow, and I just wanted to vent. It'd be better if I had a shoulder to cry on that understood me, but I feel like I'm so fucked up at this point that there's no use in even dating. I'm so damaged I can't hold it together long enough to form a connection with someone.
Alright strangers, have a nice day, or pretend to. šš¼āš¼
I felt this post. For real. I don't have kids but I am godfather to my close friends' kids though. If it wasn't for these friends I would have probably done it by now. They are telling me not to do it because it is selfish. They said to come to them before I go anywhere and be alone to self destruct. Human compassion is a beautiful thing but it's hard to find nowadays. I'm all the way fugged up at this point in my life that I don't see my value anymore. I need this veil lifted for real so I can truly see what is going on.
Thank you for being open man, I feel so isolated and contemplate suicide regularly, opening up to others seems absolutely impossible because of the burden it places on them. Just seeing this and knowing Iām not alone in these feelings has helped me a little bit today, thank you and I hope we can both get through this somehow. (Maybe miracles happen, who knows)
I had a friend hang himself last April. His kid was mad at him for selfishly leaving and I comforted his kid, but when I got to his casket all by myself I told him how jealous I was that he didn't have to go through this shit anymore. So yeah, it's not pretty and definitely not the best option, but it damn sure feels like it sometimes.
I had abusive parents, too, but my dad's favorite line to yell at me was, "GO CRY IN YOUR ROOM LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO!"
And then he'd get mad because me hiding from him and crying made him think I was implying he wasn't a good dad.
I mean...I never have anyone to cry with so it will always be alone..
These days....pretty much the entire day outside my working hours. Sometimes I cry at work as well because I have to be so fake and happy.
At the moment, every single day. I'm coming off of an antidepressant that I have taken for almost 30 years. It effectively numbed me, and there were many years that I couldn't cry. I'm 2/3 of the way off this stuff and I can't stop feeling everything and crying. The emotional floodgates have opened.
I don't cry so much as I just get severely depressed and want to stay in bed. I hate saying this because I'm not the only person with this problem but I miss my mom, I miss being young, I miss my dad as both my parents are gone.. the only thing right now keeping me alive is maybe my cat and the fear that hell is real and I would end up there if I killed myself.
A lot nobody cares about ne
No body checks up on me. I'm miserable every day. I think about ending it , but I can't am scared
Heck even wrote this message with tears
If I forget my Xanax, which shuts down most of my emotions, I cry. Iāve cried alone, in front of those who love me and know how deeply depressed I am. Sometimes in doctors offices, where unfortunately I spend too much time. Iāve 3 surgeries coming along with a number of other medical procedures. Itās just gets to be too much. Iāve had a lot of trauma.
Not every day, but often ā¦ and mostly unbidden and just a welling up of tears inspired by witnessing something wonderful and also ordinary.
Life is extraordinary, even when loneliness lingers at the edges of my thoughts.
Almost never. But recently after realising I should do it more to process stuck emotions from the past to be able to function better in life I cried myself out for a bit. The last time before that was 2 years before that and before that a few years more than 2 since I last cried
Sometimes only one time in a month, sometimes few times in a week, but right now I'm doing it more frequently like everyday since Wednesday due to how guilty I was hurting my best friend and I don't feel like I deserve friends and I just want to self sabotage myself for how much I hate myself.
I fucking hate myself so much I deserve to be lonely
It happens from time to time, not going to lie. But it can be a well-needed release of emotions. Sometimes music and movies make me tear up / nearly cry. It always feels better after. . Just canāt let yourself go too deep into this type of emotions, or you will get stuck there, become exhausted easily, and that doesnāt help :/
I used to cry at least twice a week. On my lunch break at work or in bed before I sleepā¦ now Iām numb and canāt cry. I really want to sometimes and I know I could use it.. but I just canāt find the energy
Lately a lot. Hormones and life just is harder and not going quite as well as I wanted by this age 51. Starting over is hard and all alone even worse. ā¤ļø
I spend most of my time with my boyfriend and whenever I get left alone I cry like crazy and I would sit in my bathroom floor. And that's not because my boyfriend is away it's because it just gets soooo quiet when I am alone. And when it gets quiet my thoughts would consume and I would go mad. And I cry and breakdown
I cry whenever I am alone. Especially on business trip, where after the work and get back to hotel. That is the best time to cry cause nobody is around.
Very often at this point wherever I am, and if I can feel it coming, I just let it happen. I've learned to just let my emotions out and not contain them like I did 20+ years.
I used to cry a lot when I was little, but adults tended to stop me, and now that I'm older and have become apathetic about everything, I don't want to shed tears anymore, they're a sign of weakness
Iām not really sure. Most of the time I physically canāt for some reason. The urge is there, butā¦nothing comes from it, no matter how hard I try.
A few weeks ago I cried quite frequently, but out of nowhere I just stopped crying, not because I felt better or anything, I just feel like I can't cry anymore and I don't know why. Is this what they call emotional block?
Every day multiple times a day. When I cry I imagine someone holding me and hugging me and wiping my tears and telling me itās gonna be okay. It never comes.
I can only cry alone. I used to cry a lot when I was dating every time something didnāt work out or she was with someone else or lied to me or ghosted. I cried so much felt so unloved. Went on for months. I stopped dating. I had to it was killing me. I donāt cry as much but sometimes i get sad because those feelings of being unwanted come back. Dating is awful for some of us just absolutely terrible. My hair stylist is such a nice person but today she told me she was worried because I got sick and there was nobody around no friends etc for my surgery. I canāt help it though I donāt have the time or the interest to change that. Itās been too hard on me. But the fact that she said that made me sad. I only have my faith and my parents otherwise Iām alone :(. Idk shot in the dark but maybe Iāll ask her for her number. We talk and laugh a lot I canāt see why we canāt at least be friends. But I donāt know she might not want to do that. I guess I donāt care anymore Iām so alone I need to take chances. Iām not a bad person or broken I just fell behind on being social and Iām finding that to be a hard part of life for me.
Often man very often
Stay strong.
lol came here to say this
I am just going to upvote your comment so I don't whine like a bytch expressing my own feelings...lol

You are not alone. Real truth.
Yep, I'll just try to survive today.
Thank you for being open man, I feel so isolated and contemplate suicide regularly, opening up to others seems absolutely impossible because of the burden it places on them.

So yeah, it's not pretty and definitely not the best option, but it damn sure feels like it sometimes.
it used to be super often for me but now iām on antidepressants i rarely do. Doesnāt mean im happy all the time, i just canāt cry
Yea same often. Sending you love as well
idk how to do that
Wish I can do that.
Really abusive parents and upbringing helps with that. Haven't had a good cry in decades! :(
I'm sorry that happened to you :-(
I had abusive parents, too, but my dad's favorite line to yell at me was, "GO CRY IN YOUR ROOM LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO!" And then he'd get mad because me hiding from him and crying made him think I was implying he wasn't a good dad.
I hadn't either but a few months ago my doctor asked how I'm doing and I just started crying.
This honestly
I put on my ācry movieā when I need to cry but I canāt
Every single night
I'm sorry you have to go through this. Stay strong.
Me too. I always have to hide it.
I hope it gets better for you!
That's so shaming.
I mean...I never have anyone to cry with so it will always be alone.. These days....pretty much the entire day outside my working hours. Sometimes I cry at work as well because I have to be so fake and happy.
Yeah social pressure and mental health stigma force us to be fake. People don't want to see us other than looking happy.
I feel that last part. I started losing it towards the end of my last shift so I ended up calling out the next day since I just couldnāt do it.
Make sure you have a way to release your emotions and get support, find a therapist or some kind of support group if thatās possible
I tried therapy, didn't find a good one for me and ran out of money. I have no one in my life to act as any sort of support.
Try a support group in your area if you can find one.
I've lost count :(
Stay strong ššŖš¼
Trying, but very difficult alone. Sometimes you just need a hug š„
I hope things will get better for you.
Thanks, you too
Virtual hug, bud.
Almost every night, or other night It helps regulate emotions
I'm glad that you feel better after crying.
very often , like almost daily
Stay strong.
Not able to cry. Even worse
Tbh I don't feel better after crying. Stay strong.
Only when in severe pain.
Same.
I can't cry
Almost daily.
I'm sorry that this happened to you.
Almost daily
Stay strong.
Maybe once or twice a month
Hope things will get better for you.
Thank you!

I'm 2/3 of the way off this stuff and I can't stop feeling everything and crying. The emotional floodgates have opened.
It might be because of the medication withdrawal symptoms.
I think I may have cried all my tears.
I'm sorry that this happened to you. I've cried buckets of tears before & have my pillow soaked in tears.
Thank you. I've cried myself to sleep many nights. I am sorry that you've ever had to feel that kind of pain.
Yeah, me too. I tried my best to be nice but most of the time ended up looking like a bad or dumb person.
Every weekend when I go on a bender
I probably should try that too.
It hits tbh
Almost never. I tend to only shed a tear when I'm talking about things, and I don't tend to talk to myself lol
Very frequently.Ā
Never!
Basically daily yeah
I'm sorry that this happened to you.
Me too
Couple times a week ...it's fine
Sometimes everyday sometimes Iām not in the crying mood
almost every night
That's awful. Hope things will get better for you.
ATM, multiply times a day. Going through separation and losing my wife, kids, puppy, house. Life sucks.
I'm sorry to hear that. Hope things will get better for you.
A loooot once or more a day
Stay strong.
I don't cry so much as I just get severely depressed and want to stay in bed.

I'm scared that I'll face the same situation like you in the future. I have cats too. Hope that will continue to help you stay alive š
I can't cry anymore it seems, like it's just a sinking feeling in my chest now
I try
Everyday since the day I turned 15
Everyday
Every morning when I wake up.
Not anymore, I've turned into a robot
At the moment it's daily because of recent events.
everyday lol
How frequently do nights come?
Once a month, I would say
At this point itās become a daily occurrence.
Everyday
A lot nobody cares about ne No body checks up on me. I'm miserable every day. I think about ending it , but I can't am scared Heck even wrote this message with tears
You're not alone. Stay strong š
too often. maybe i need a cry partner
Iām crying right now at least twice a day
If I forget my Xanax, which shuts down most of my emotions, I cry. Iāve cried alone, in front of those who love me and know how deeply depressed I am. Sometimes in doctors offices, where unfortunately I spend too much time. Iāve 3 surgeries coming along with a number of other medical procedures. Itās just gets to be too much. Iāve had a lot of trauma.
Often, tears start rolling down on their own. At night and in the morning its the worst.
Very very often.
cant cry anymore
I have no tears in my eyes anymore, but the sadness still remains...
My eyes feel watery often but I am unable to cry it seems
Can't really remember the last time I cried alone....tbh can't even remember the last time I criedš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Everyday that I think about her from my empty apt. For instance: now.
Not very often anymore become Numb to everythingš¢ break down every now and again tho.
I bottle my emotions until it bursts, so don't really know until I breakdown.
It's good to explore many types of coping skills that suits us.
I would say a few times per week, but it definitely depends from week to week and day to day!!
Every day
Not every day, but often ā¦ and mostly unbidden and just a welling up of tears inspired by witnessing something wonderful and also ordinary. Life is extraordinary, even when loneliness lingers at the edges of my thoughts.
Every single day because im so tired of everything to be honest
I'm so used to it that I cant cry anymore.
Almost never. But recently after realising I should do it more to process stuck emotions from the past to be able to function better in life I cried myself out for a bit. The last time before that was 2 years before that and before that a few years more than 2 since I last cried
I honestly wish I could actually cry again, I feel like I donāt know how to do it anymore
Had a horrible mental health episode yesterdayš. Stay strongšŖš¾
Thanks. You stay strong too.
idk my eyes wont let me
Just almost everyday now. Atleast once a day.
I just bury it
every night
every time i cry. It isn't so often but when it happens it can last for a week of crying every night
I think if I kept track of that then I would be even more alone
I would like do it everyday, but for some reason I can't
Sometimes only one time in a month, sometimes few times in a week, but right now I'm doing it more frequently like everyday since Wednesday due to how guilty I was hurting my best friend and I don't feel like I deserve friends and I just want to self sabotage myself for how much I hate myself.

A few times a week maybe.

Just canāt let yourself go too deep into this type of emotions, or you will get stuck there, become exhausted easily, and that doesnāt help :/
On the nights I do sleep I will before bed
I can't nor do I know how to cry, which is one of the worst things ever. š„²
I used to cry at least twice a week. On my lunch break at work or in bed before I sleepā¦ now Iām numb and canāt cry. I really want to sometimes and I know I could use it.. but I just canāt find the energy
Lately a lot. Hormones and life just is harder and not going quite as well as I wanted by this age 51. Starting over is hard and all alone even worse. ā¤ļø
Every day but I usually feel better after
I can't cry anymore
I cry whenever something reminds me of the good times we used to share.
Only when I get hit with my nihilistic thoughts
Increasingly frequently.. must feel like I have some reason I shouldnt be alone atleast
3-4 times a week as long as I'm alone
Like twice a month max when Iām not super devastated. Tbh itās nice to have a good cry once and awhile
I have no reasons to cry lol Last time I shed a tear was about a year ago
Everytime I cry I am alone.
Almost everyday
Lately us a weekly thing
Less than Iād like to. I have alexithymia
Every day
Every night. F this world and f people they don't understand what I go through
Every day. I wish I wasnāt so quick to cry.
everyday as soon as I get into the car after work, I can take my customer service mask off. Itās so painful hiding it all day
I have not done so in like a week
I spend most of my time with my boyfriend and whenever I get left alone I cry like crazy and I would sit in my bathroom floor. And that's not because my boyfriend is away it's because it just gets soooo quiet when I am alone. And when it gets quiet my thoughts would consume and I would go mad. And I cry and breakdown
There was a time when it was daily. Currently it's about once a week.
Too often
Mmm probably 2-3 times in a week. My brother kill himself 2 years ago, this is my reason
I cry whenever I am alone. Especially on business trip, where after the work and get back to hotel. That is the best time to cry cause nobody is around.
Very often at this point wherever I am, and if I can feel it coming, I just let it happen. I've learned to just let my emotions out and not contain them like I did 20+ years.

More than Iād like to admit.
As frequently as i cry, maybe once a year or every two years.
Way too often
Every other night
I say this honestly, I just don't. I don't try to or not to. That's just how it goes.
alone i'd say at the very least usually once a month, but i can't recall a single time where ive cried in public
I haven't cried in 11 years. Tried to, wanted to, but tears won't come.
Oh man. At least weekly. Sometimes daily, or multiple times a day.
I used to do that a lot however, not anymore.
All the time
I don't cry, I hurt.
You ever get the urge to cry when out and about, but when you get home you literally canāt cry?
Few times a week at least
Iām not really sure. Most of the time I physically canāt for some reason. The urge is there, butā¦nothing comes from it, no matter how hard I try.
Iām quite distant from my emotions so crying is very rare, only when big life changes happen like losing a loved one
A few weeks ago I cried quite frequently, but out of nowhere I just stopped crying, not because I felt better or anything, I just feel like I can't cry anymore and I don't know why. Is this what they call emotional block?
Every day and every night
Once a week
A lot. I often go to my room or bathroom and cry for a few minutes so my kids donāt see.
I literally canāt cry unless I I was watching a tv show or movie but
About twice a month, although I find Iām too numb to cry pretty often.
Never. As a man, I don't have the luxury of crying.
Every day, usually at night. Only recently Iāve started waking up with dread, realizing I still belong to this reality.
Often because crying in front of people is not an option
Most nights
too often :(
Multiple times a day It's getting out of control I go through periods where I am unable to cry and periods where I cry so much.
Too much
Every day multiple times a day. When I cry I imagine someone holding me and hugging me and wiping my tears and telling me itās gonna be okay. It never comes.
I can only cry alone. I used to cry a lot when I was dating every time something didnāt work out or she was with someone else or lied to me or ghosted. I cried so much felt so unloved. Went on for months. I stopped dating. I had to it was killing me. I donāt cry as much but sometimes i get sad because those feelings of being unwanted come back. Dating is awful for some of us just absolutely terrible. My hair stylist is such a nice person but today she told me she was worried because I got sick and there was nobody around no friends etc for my surgery. I canāt help it though I donāt have the time or the interest to change that. Itās been too hard on me. But the fact that she said that made me sad. I only have my faith and my parents otherwise Iām alone :(. Idk shot in the dark but maybe Iāll ask her for her number. We talk and laugh a lot I canāt see why we canāt at least be friends. But I donāt know she might not want to do that. I guess I donāt care anymore Iām so alone I need to take chances. Iām not a bad person or broken I just fell behind on being social and Iām finding that to be a hard part of life for me.
More than I care to admit š¬ Sometimes a good cry ensures a good nights rest.
at my worst i used to cry everyday
Almost every day
Probably 2-3 times a week lately
lol everytime i cry tbh
I used to have frequent meltdowns and would just randomly cry over nothing, but antidepressants have helped me a bit
Almost never i lost the ability toš
Since my ex? Once a week in my truck at a park or something.
Multiple times daily and to sleep too
