but…the last time I cried? last night when I checked my Mom into the hospital (where she’ll never check out of), and she looks at me, a tear rolling down her cheek, and she says…“I don’t want to be here, I want to go home with you”.

I cry for various reasons fairly often. Joy, gratitude, empathy or plain ol grief.

About 2 weeks ago I had a disturbing nightmare of my daughter dieing…it brought me to not only tears but sobs when I awoke. I still cant shake the nightmare…
When my dauchsund was put to sleep because of a broken back, I wailed when it happened…
About 5 minutes ago reading a Cracked.com article.
The 7 Crappiest “Super Heroes” in Comic Book History
Really it was just the #1 Crappiest Superhero of all time that brought tears to my eyes. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe. some of the lines had me rolling.
“Thomas Wright was a Senator of the United States; who when not doing whatever the hell it is that Senators do, dressed in the manner of an exotic male prostitute to fight crime and Nazis…”
“Little Richard Grey was born in Mongolia during a scientific expedition his parents were members of. The expedition was attacked by bandits and everyone died except for baby Richard, who was later found and raised by condors. If huge carrion eating birds don’t know how to raise a baby, then who does?”
“…Did we mention that the condors taught him how to fly? Yes, apparently being raised by birds means you can slap aerodynamics in the face.”
“Richard uncovered a plot to assassinate U.S. Senator Thomas Wright. Since Richard only has the power to fly and possibly also the power to eat rotten dead things, he tried to save the guy’s life and failed miserably. But every murderous cloud has a silver lining. Richard stole Wright’s identity and that’s how a barely literate orphan raised by birds and a crazy old man in the desert became a senator.”
“We don’t think we’re stepping out of line here when we say that a world ruled by the Fascists would probably have still been better than a world governed by undercover super-powered feral bird men.”
Every December 13th, since 1994. Very close friend of mine was shot and killed in the line of duty when we apprehended a suspect who escaped from jail. We forced the getaway car off the road and he was shot by the escapee from the rear seat of the suspect car. I rode in the ambulance with him to the hospital, and he died before we got there. RIP brother.

Just now as I read some of the posts by you guys…[/quote]
Same here, and this thread reminded me of a friend I lost 16 years ago. He lived in a 2nd story apartment and the apartment below him was firebombed by a guy trying to kill his girlfriend.
His girlfriend wasn’t in the apartment, but my friend in the upstairs apartment was. He awoke and tried to escape, and suffered severe burns over his whole body. He lived long enough to see his mom one last time who flew in from Japan.
The murderer got the death sentence and was executed eventually, but that doesn’t bring him back.
The most recent time I cried was a mini mental breakdown. I’m in debt, so much so that everything I earn barely covers the interest payments so the way it is i will never get any closer to paying it off. I have creditors calling me multiple times a day, every letter through the door is a demand for money I don’t have, I have nothing saved for when stuff goes wrong like my car breaking and needing to be fixed, I’m a month behind on my rent and i feel like my life is basically on hold and that I’ve lost a large portion of my 20’s to this shit.
In fact I pretty much feel like I’m close to tears just writing this, and anytime I start to think about it. Then I feel guilty; there are people in this world with far worse problems than me- homeless people, young children in third world countries getting gang-raped by rebel militants, children being abused by junkie parents (including a story I heard from a client who works for a charity, where 2 drug-addict parents were whoring out their 6-year-old daughter to their friends to get money to pay for their disgusting habit); it makes me feel like less of a man, especially that the situation has made me consider not only rational ways out like debt management and bankruptcy but also briefly, suicide.
I hope nobody I know reads this, as anyone who knows me could figure out who I am from my screen name.

Hey, there are all kinds of painful things in this world. That doesn’t make your situation any less difficult. Hang in there. One day you will be on the other side of this.
This isn’t the last time I cried, but it still goes down as the worst day of my life. Sorry, but it starts out shallow. I was 14 and I tried out for the high school cheerleading squad with two of my best friends. Tryouts were in the morning, and then we all went to lunch and then came running back to see our names posted on the gym door. So, both of my friends made the cut and I didn’t. I was crushed. I came home feeling pretty low, only to have my dad tell me that he had accidentally backed over my dog. She was a birthday gift for me from him. He’d brought her home as a surprise from a business trip, tucked inside his coat. We’d had other family dogs before, but she was the first one what was mine. So, my dad and I both had a good cry that day. I think he felt worse than I did.

It makes you that much more of a man that you were able to tell all of us this.
You have no reason to feel ashamed of anything.
Sometimes we all need help and there is -nothing- wrong with that. Try to seek help, seek comfort through others dear to you, stay strong and keep fighting!
Half an hour ago when I found out my uncle died. Here I am stuck in the hell that is A-stan unable to go back to pay my respects because the death of an uncle doesn’t entitle me to emergency leave.
My uncle basically helped my family to it’s feet when we first moved to the US from Taiwan. He’s always been my biggest supporter and always willing to listen.
If I tear up/cry it’s when I’m alone and somewhat bored…I guess it’s because I actually have time to process whatever happened to cause the tears in the first place.
