ORIGINAL: LaTigresse I do not cry often and especially not during extreme crisis or moments I need to keep my shit together to deal. I am one of those weirdos that cry after the fact, when I've done everything I need to do to deal with whatever.....if I do cry over it. Quite often, by the time I would be able to cry, the crisis has been resolved to the point where crying isn't even an issue. Most recently, when my son and his S.O. were in a motorcycle accident, would be a good example. I have been known to cry when I am very angry, not a common thing. Or during movies, more common but I don't care. The first paragraph is a sort of survival mode. This is what I do as well. When my father was dying I had 1 night where I let it go and was actually sobbing and unintelligable when I tried to speak. The rest of the week I just got through it and got shit done. I didn't cry again for an entire month and when I did it hit me full on like a ton of bricks. For me, tears are like a pressure cooker - If I don't let them out a little bit at a time, there is the propencity for me to explode into a whirlwind of uncontrolled emotion. Frustratingly, I am unable to let off the little bits of steam I need to as a situation is happening to relieve some of the pressure along the way...and I end up a complete mess way after the fact. I also cry when I'm angry, but I htink mainly it has a lot to do with the way I am as described above...I deal with shit for as long as I can until the cooker is full of steam (i.e. I'm beyond pissed) and that ends up showing itself in the form of tears. People who don't know me well (my husband, or my kids for instance) think I am over emotional, when all it is is the top blowing off. When my kids see me cry, they run for shelter because they know Momma is at the point of explosion. healthy or not, it is what it is. Lucifyre
