I'm overdue. DS (6m) and I were in a car accident on Wednesday. Thank God that we are mostly ok as is the other driver AND my car will be fixed (we are less than a year from paying it off). Nonetheless, it was really scary, and instead of processing those feelings, we went right into fix it mode.

I have one bubbling inside that needs to come out already. My baby sister is graduating college and moving to NYC and I'm feeling so excited/sad/scared/proud about it.

I just cried in the car with H because I told him I only knew how to be fat. I had weight loss surgery on Monday and while I had prepared physically I dont think I did so well mentally. I've always been a little chunky growing up but active and sportsy....that turned into majorly fat in my later adult life.
i hope I'm a good skinny person
Anyway it will give us something to laugh about later!
farmvillelover, thx for the advice. I have Vionic tide flip flops I wear at home and I bought new supportive sneakers and Danskos for work. I got a cortisone shot already and wear a foot wrap all the time. I feel like I've spent so much, time, money and effort on this and I'm still in so much pain. Sigh. I just don't want to be limping around and not able to play with DD all summer. It has me pretty depressed.
aprilsails, I haven't tried KT tape yet. I'll have to look tat up. Maybe better than the arch support wrap I bought (it is like a big elastic that goes around my foot at the arch).
My plan is to see a PT next and hope they can figure out why this won't go away. Fingers crossed.
I cry much less now than I used to when I was still with XH.
Despite meds I still cry very easily, but the last big cry was on 12 March, when I came back from my Milan trip after having said goodbye to my soul mate. I'm not sure when or if we will see each other again.

about 20 minutes ago (I actually logged on here to distract myself) I was making jewelry this morning from rings and charms from my late mother and fiance. I love they have came out but it kinda all ended with an ugly cry.
Big huge hugs to textbookcase and @kizmet especially. Losing a parent is a pain that I haven't yet experienced but I know 1 million % it will be one of the most difficult things in my life to deal with.
Thank you. I won't lie - it is the most awful thing I have ever experienced.
I have cried more in the last couple months combined than I ever have in my whole entire life. And that is not an exaggeration.
My last REALLY BIG HUGE cry was last week. It hit me straight in the gut that my dad is GONE. GONE GONE. Cue sobbing fest on the floor of my bathroom.

Yeah the foot wrap never did anything for me. The KT tape can really hold up your arch. It can be expensive but it was a really good solution for me, and it's easy to use now on occasions when I need it.
Seriously, I used to cry at the drop of a hat. Literally cried at least 5 times a week. Now? Aside from yesterday, I really don't remember the last time I cried. Maybe when DD2 had surgery a year ago? But I was on a break from the Zoloft then, so I'm not sure how I would have reacted had I still been on it.

The last time I actually broke down was last summer when I was stressed with work and school.
I get teary quite often, but I haven't had a "good cry" since my brother died. I have cried for him often, but I don't really cry for other things anymore.
3ish weeks ago. I never cry, but I everything was just going wrong. I was sick, and then ended up with a double ear infection and ruptured ear drum. The pain was unreal. Like, I've given birth 3 times, med free, and that was obviously my #1 most painful experience of my life. This ear pain was #2. It. Was. Bad.
Anyway, I was alone with all 3 kids because h was oot, they were on their worst behaviour x100, and I was majorly suffering. I broke down and ugly cried for a good half hour.
Someone posted one of those videos about rescue dogs on Facebook - touching grass for the first time, their first bed, their first toy, their first forever home, and I sobbed for like 10 minutes.
Earlier this week some 90s country song came up on my Amazon Music station about a grandmother dying and the grandfather reading some note that she left for them way back when they were running away together, and how he'd wait for her and "meet her when his chores were through" and I sat in the car openly weeping for ages. I'm a damn mess.
Love, Me by Collin Raye. There are so many old country songs that can easily drive me to tears!
It's been a minute. I tend to respond to upsetting events with anxiety (heart racing, upset stomach) rather than crying. The crying only happens when I'm completely overwhelmed by anxiety, which thankfully isn't happening much recently.
I do tear up at all sorts of things, like yesterday at a reception celebrating the retirement of a colleague I'm not even close with.
