Since I cry so frequently, I figured I'd make a thread for detailing my experiences. I hope it's enjoyable to you all. Please let me know if there's any details you'd like me to mention or include.
I actually cried rather heavily today for what was probably most of the morning. I woke up after Henry had left for work, which is what originally prompted me to start crying. We try to get up and eat breakfast together, but I evidently slept through his alarm. I laid on my side in bed and cried for quite a while, occasionally sobbing softly, with tears dripping onto the pillow. I sat up after some time but didn't manage to stop crying. I was wearing one of Henry's shirts to sleep in, so I pulled it up over my face and cried into the collar until it was very sodden.
Usually, my crying episodes are rather brief (though this wasn't always the case) but when I'm alone and don't find anything to distract myself, I tend to go on crying for quite some time, even after the original emotion has faded. I did eventually manage to calm down, in order to get up and get ready for the day. I didn't check the time, but it was likely somewhere between two and three hours that I spent crying.
I did have another crying episode today, but much shorter, just a few minutes of sobbing with a few tears that rolled down my cheeks. I don't know what prompted it. Sometimes it just happens.
Thank you for reading.

Wow, I have never heard of crying for more than 30 minutes, less 2-3 hours, was your crying constant or on and off?

Pretty constant. It's not normal crying, it's a symptom of my mental health conditions, particularly PTSD and depression. I actually used to cry for much longer, but medication and therapy have helped with that.

feel free not to answer, dee, but I'm curious, what's the most or the longest that you've cried for?
