Little but FIERCE (Little's Thread #5)

[Mozza]

I wouldn't cry for years, although I admit that I would hide it if a movie or the kids made me feel emotional. But now, it's like I'm sitting on the Cry button. I used to think I cry 10 times a day, but I realize it's probably more like 50-60 times. Some can be quite short, like 5 seconds. Two or three times a day, it can be a full-blown crisis (often in bed). I always cry in the shower. I've done the street, parties, workplace, etc. All of them.

But now I'm tired of it. I'm afraid it has become a habit, my way of responding by default to my sitch. While it's healthy to cry a few times, I wonder if there's a point where it's my self-pity that kicks in. In fact, I noticed that I often feel sorry for myself when I cry ("I lost half my kids. My wife has left me. I've been dumped for a man 10 years younger. I'm a single dad now." etc). Thinking about what I need to do doesn't make me cry. Perhaps my focus is at the wrong place?

Crying is much better than drinking, becoming violent, getting in debt, etc. But at the moment, I'm wondering if there's such a thing as crying too much.
