Big Girls Cry...A Lot

For whatever reason, I've been feeling a little emotional lately. I've always been somewhat of a crier but lately I've been crying all the time. Not like sad-my-life-sucks tears, but tears for every occasion. I've become an equal opportunity crier apparently.

As I previously posted, I went to Wicked last week. I cried at the end. Granted, it's a little sad that Glinda thinks Elphaba is dead, but not really worth crying over.











And even though I haven't talked about it on the blog yet, I started Insanity earlier this week. Well, during a workout last night, I got frustrated and cried that I couldn't do moving pushups. What?? Who cries about a workout unless you are truly pathetic and have no bigger problems?? Apparently I do. I have never cried during or over a workout before. Sure, you see them do it on the Biggest Loser but most of that is fake and what little of it is real is not related to the workout, it's related to some other issue that led them to be obese.

I even got emotional writing a nice comment on my dear friend Kacy's blog. What is THAT all about? I express my lesbian love for my friends on the regular, so this is not out of the ordinary.

Before some of you say, it's hormones, it just may be because I recently went off birth control after being on it for a good ten years. Although I consulted my calendar and PMS shouldn't be the culprit.

If THIS is what I can expect to be like all the time though, I may have to bring the birth control back. Artificial hormones that may cause cancer be damned! I would like to cross the street without letting out a little sob about the sadness of potholes.

Speaking of crying, I was randomly switching through the channels the other night when I came across the SATC episode about women crying at work. Charlotte laments how she cried at work once ten years ago and everyone had been tiptoeing around her ever since. I fear this sort of situation may be in future if things continue how they are.

God help the friends I have that have weddings, birth of children, milestone birthdays, or a long anticipated wart removal coming up because I will be a hot mess.

  1. Our lesbian love really does bring tears to my eyes. I can relate.
    I'm terrified to go off birth control. I don't know what would happen to me, but I fear it would not be pretty at all.
    Perhaps we'll all have a group cry next weekend and you can get it all out at once?

  2. i was going through the same thing - i had some blood work done to rule out a thyroid problem. i took a self eval at the doctor's office and he was like you're definitely dealing with some depression and anxiety. which makes me feel like a crazy person, but i took the drugs to see if it helps.

    i was crying at everything - the fact that other people's kids were starting school? wtf? and glee. i couldn't watch glee without crying over everything.

    i also cried when my fiance put on the breaks too fast while driving - it's so weird right now.

  3. This is why I'm scared to go ON birth control again... because the hormone swings are terrifying.

    With everything going on between us 5, I really just cannot wait to give everyone a big hug. Like huge hug. I miss you.

  4. I am so emotional, too. It's ridiculous. If it makes you feel any better, I cried at the last episode of the Real World when they all left the house like 2 weeks ago.

    Please don't stop loving me.
