Getting emotional over not-that-emotional things

[W.T.Faulkner]

I watched the Office finale AND I CANNOT STOP CRYING.  Mostly because of one line:  "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good-old days before you left them."

Guys, my best friend is moving back to Boston, after 2 years of being "home" in Philly.  I'm devastated, but I'm trying not to be.  It was so good to have her back, and I hate the fact that she's leaving again.  It's not that far away, but we've only been 10 minutes away from each other, and I'm afraid of what will happen.


Has something ever resonated with you in a way that it didn't with other people, and you've been totally embarrassed at how emotional you got?  lol

Pretty much every single day since I stopped taking my antidepressants.

I cried over one of my plants getting damaged to the point of ruin in the storm. People literally lost their homes, and I'm sitting here crying over a plant. Ridiculous.

My best friend moved away last fall too. We were neighbors and I really miss her. I have no advice there except to just surround yourself with other friends and try to stay busy.

I'm famous for tearing up at stupid things. It can get embarrassing, especially while talking to strangers, but I haven't found a way to stop so I try to think of funny things to counteract the tears welling up.

I have really bad misplaced emotional breakdowns ALL THE TIME. I cry at the most ridiculous things for no reason.

Publix commercials kill me every time. Especially the little boy? Playing soccer? OMG. Tears every time (even before I had a little boy.)

We don't have Publix here in Boston. This is hugely disappointing to me for more than one reason.

I also cried at The Office finale - when Michael showed up I lost it. DH thinks I'm nuts.

I cry during every episode of Grays Anatomy.

Yet I rarely cry at funerals. Go figure.

This reminds me of my grandmom.  She did not cry when she buried her husband of 55 years, but cried like a BABY when we went to see The Sound of Music, and the nun started singing "Climb Every Mountain."  lol

I don't get embarrassed about crying.

It shows that I'm, in fact, human and have feelings.

I'm very good at hiding this in professional settings, though. LOL.

Oh geez. I teared up just reading this post.

I cry most when something is friend-related.

I remember once when I went to dinner with two friends (former Knotties, actually), and one was telling us about her troubles getting pregnant. I was bawling, and they were totally fine. We had a good laugh about that one.

I also cry when my co-workers leave.

I can keep going if you like. Hahahahaha.

I cried the other day when I put my shirt on backwards.

I swear it wasn't REALLY about the shirt, but the damn shirt ruined my day.

That line REALLY resonated with me as well.

I am an emotional tsunami when I'm not on ADs. EVERYTHING is a big deal in my head and i have so much feeeeeeeliiiiinggs.

I'm still emotional on meds, but its much easier to reign them in and not let them control my every thought.

I was a cryer before I got pregnant (movies, happy things happening to strangers, dog food commercials) but now I am just beyond normal, lol. I cry at a lot more kid-related stuff that I never would have before.

This exactly.  Like audible sobbing like an idiot.

I wasn't a cryer until after having a kid. Now everything sets me off.

Pixar movies will be the death of me, but DS loves them so I try to avoid the sappy scenes by going into another room, but I KNOW they're happening and I still cry.
