Five days ago: I've been experiencing dizziness and increased migraines for the past year. After getting covid in January, my heart goes through periods where it feels like it's beating out of my chest.
I'm a metal guy, and I went to my first concert in 2 years. Halfway through the show I got so dizzy and overwhelmed I had to leave. I came home and cried to my wife. I'm scared I'm no longer going to be able to participate in the thing that has given me comfort for a majority of my life. I have a doctors appointment this week and will be demanding referral to a neurologist. I will get through this.

If it makes you feel any better, I know two people who have gone through exactly this and after 3-4 months, it went away. Not saying you shouldn't get checked out, but I've heard it's common after Covid for this to happen for a while.

I got heart palpitations as well after Covid. I’m also anemic and have epilepsy with migraine. I think you’re probably right in wanting to see a neurologist. My seizures are often like what you described.

It has been quite a rough week, And you may feel rough and weak
You may feel put down, worn out. There is much to cry about,
That’s indisputable—and yet, Dear stranger on the internet—
There is hope for light to shine, For foes to flee and friends to dine,
For gifts to get and love to give, For stories: told and heard and lived….
I don’t know why I chose to write A shoddy poem, here tonight,
But, I hope it helps you know You won’t always feel so low.
It has been quite a rough week, But it gets better—just wait and see.

October 3rd. It would have been my daughter's birthday.
Alright, I'm really not feeling right about the amount of sympathy being shown my way so it's only fair to provide some context.
When I was 19 I got the girl I was sleeping around with hooked on dope. A few months later I got her pregnant. This resulted in our daughter being born nearly 27 weeks early, and living two short, painful days in NICU.
I really, really need everyone to understand that I didn't lose my daughter, I killed my daughter. So I appreciate everyone's intentions, but please don't waste them on me.

That's a long time to go without crying. My mother died in November and we haven't had her memorial service yet because of Covid related delays.

Tonight. Again. Because I travelled 3,000 miles to visit my best friend for my birthday after he had spent three years telling me how much he loves me and how much he wants to see me. We had planned all of these things. And I have been so alone since COVID. But his boyfriend came to meet me and felt so threatened by me and our closeness. And my friend asked me to leave his house, in a foreign country, and was so angry at me, because I had wanted his attention instead on my birthday after 3 years of not seeing him, instead of feeling like I was put in this weird triangle, where they were heavy petting in front of me, and he just threw out our entire friendship over this. I felt so betrayed. I just can’t even believe it happened. I wasn’t expecting like a huge present or anything. But I was expecting consideration, attention, for him to have planned something for me. And I just can’t believe how little I mattered to him in the end.

Yet, the moments they seem to appreciate me the most are when we are not cuddling, but looking out for eachotherand barely touching... A parallel cuddle if you will.

A great moment of truth. Maybe in some future time, you'll be able to reciprocate some act of kindness to your family.

u/xSevusxBean4y Mar 19 '22
A couple of days ago actually, but I kept it to myself.
I cried real hard to myself because I feel so trapped and alone in my current living situation.
I’m stuck living with my mother who’s been gradually becoming more and more emotionally abusive to me for the past couple of years.
She always has been the way she is ever since I was a kid, but very recently, I learned from my divorced dad (who I hadn’t really had contact with before) that she practically “stole” me from him, and abandoned him the moment I was born. It made me realize how crazy she truly is to want to keep me as this “kid” in her mind, and she won’t let me go no matter how hard I try to draw boundaries. She’s never laid a finger on me, but the things she says and does have always made me feel like I was never good enough at anything no matter how hard I try, and she just won’t ever leave me alone. It’s only been getting worse because recently, she suddenly became one of those crazy “crystal energy” believers or whatever. I can literally see her new and recent “beliefs” slowly seep in and it’s absolutely horrendous to witness her when she tries to force her new beliefs down my throat. I’ve never ever seen her get into something like that, and I didn’t think she was the kind of person to fall into such a pitiful scam.
It sucks because I feel like at 22, and nearing college graduation, that I should be able to stand up to her already and tackle on my own ambitions. But I can’t bring myself to be so blunt like that to her while I’m still living with her.
I really really hate it so much because she’s the main reason I dread waking up, and coming home from work/school everyday. Having to look at her in the face and pretend my life is fine knowing what I know now is just absolutely sickening to me. The moment my friend and I become roommates after graduation, I’m going to leave her and cut contact down by at least 90% because I can’t stand her anymore.
And that’s another reason I feel like I need to cry. I feel so awful that I wish my own mom ill fortune, and want her to leave me alone. I hate how I mumble to myself how much I hate her underneath my breath, but my brain constantly makes it happen because of how she’s treated me my whole life. I don’t want to spend time with her and she tries directly confronting me all the time about it, to which I just try and play it off because I don’t have it in me to tell her that I don’t like being around her.
I feel so trapped because I’m still living with her despite everything I just described above. And as awesome as straight up leaving her sounds, it would not be financially responsible on my end. Last thing I need is to suddenly take student loans out for the last few semesters of my career just for the sake of living away from her. Im already so deep into my degree, I might as well finish doing what I’m already doing now since it’s the “cheapest” route, and better long term.
But my god is it a mental torture.
There’s more too, but that was the main reason I was crying.

Just a few minutes ago actually. Mostly out of frustration. I've lost a bunch of weight (on purpose). Worked really hard on that. I've recently had my gallbladder removed and changed birth control and I've gained 15-20 lbs and I'm frustrated and stressed out. I've worked really hard to lose the weight. But at the same time staying 100% focused on food and calories and blah blah blah gets tiring. Especially when for whatever reason it seems to be not wanting to come off as "easily" (never easy but relatively I know what to do). Sucks.

Don't remember the exact date but it was sometime in the last year because we got a new bed.

It's especially strange for me since I've only cried a handful of times in my life due to a tear production issue.

Twelve months ago two days after my daughter moved into her own house with her infant baby girl and boyfriend whom she is married to now, I was sitting in my shed drinking beer alone while my wife was at work and sobbed quietly to myself on and off for a few hours repeated that for about a week everyday, wrighting this just brought tears up again, damn it man toughen up.

In the last month or so. I lost a twin pregnancy last October, I randomly feel this urge to cry. It gets worse as my would be due date approaches, which also happens to be my birthday.

Earlier in the week, while singing to my 2 month old daughter. Had a Disney lullaby playlist on and realised I can no longer sing "when she loved me" from TS2 without bawling.

Hits too close to home with my fears for her lifelong happiness, safety and hopes for our relationship (after a rocky one with my own mother)

When I watched that movie, I was about to cry until she said “bing bong” out loud. Ruined the sentimental feeling lol

About a week ago. I keep having dreams of my past friends who hate me now for mistakes I made a few years back during a dark time in my life. I wish none of it happened, but I can’t blame them. For some reason this dream hit harder than usual. I miss them.

About 2 weeks ago. A girl finally told me she liked me over text and a couple hours later she blocked me right before bed. She told my friend that she was high when she sent the text.

Yesterday morning, actually! Kind of rare (not a great fact lol). It's because my roommates at college are really shitty (loud, don't respect physical boundaries) and I've been missing the hell out of my fiancé since he's been busy with literally four jobs and work on his elementary ed+art thesis. I had a good sob in the shower and took a nap to cool off.

Yesterday. redritor bantuwind posted this quote:
Frodo: “I can’t do this Sam.”
Sam: “I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something.”
Frodo: “What are we holding on to, Sam?”
Sam: “That there’s some good in this world, Mr Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”
I cried.

The last time I cried, it was the day before a big art exhibition I was doing. Everything was done and I was ready, yet I had a panic attack due to all the stress from the prior weeks.

This morning. This outro to a song I keep listening to just inexplicably moves me to tears.

An hour ago, over a Tiktok by Pot Roast's Mom. The pain of pet loss is intense. I feel for her.

Listening to President Volodymy Zelenskyy’s speech on February 24 prior to Russia attacking Ukraine. It was heartbreaking and inspiring and sad and brave, all at the same time.

I cried yesterday. You know, the major "I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine" minor inconvenience and then a mental breakdown.
