Among Friends

"Weepy"? Every now and again I have a couple of days in a row when I find my eyes filling with tears out of nowhere. Tonight I was watching "The Good Doctor", I went through 20 tissues. I don't just tear up over sad things but happy things, too. I've been this way my entire life.

@HonestLife You're not alone!  I do it once in a while when I hear a song or see a movie that reminds me of something that happened in my life. 

Every time I see Steel Magnolias, it reminds me of my grandma.  We were watching that movie the night that she passed after being in a coma and everytime I watch it, I tear up when Julia Roberts dies.

@Linmo It's such a mystery sometimes. It's never been hormonal, it's just who I am. When I get this way, I don't want to be in public because I might just tear up at the checkout line!

Yep. I woke up yesterday early am from having a dream about the ex DBF.

While I don't recall the subject of the dream I was teary all day. UGH!

Good thing I'm working at home behind my computer! 😉

@Snowpuppy  I seem to have more vivid dreams when I'm this way, too.

The Budweiser 9/11 Tribute ad from Super Bowl 2011 gets me teary. It's so beautiful.

[OKPrincess]

Yes I do. Often.

Thank goodness for DH. My rock.

@HonestLife @Snowpuppy @Frenchlop @OKPrincess Some of us, including myself, are also more sensitive in general.  It doesn't necessarily have to do with hormones.

I feel like I have become more "weepy" as I age.  We lost one of our dogs on March 15  last year, and both my husband and I have been talking about her daily since this loss.  And now it's been a year...

Losing friends has been very difficult as well.

I find myself teary a lot, and I worry a little about depression.  I am working on staying positive and grateful.

You said you have been a little "weepy" your whole life.  That is ok, you are just sensitive and probably feel a lot of empathy for others. 

My life-long friend's mother used to get teary when we would watch Leave It to Beaver when my friend and I

were very young.  She would sit and smile at everything,

and then wipe the tears away.

She was a lovely, sweet natured person who was touched by so many human foibles.

Thanks for your post.

@Susan in California  Thank you. When my children were young and one had a school play, concert, etc, they would say, "Mom, try not to cry", knowing full well my purse was loaded with tissue and I would have a red nose at the end.
