For Reasons Unknown

Go kill something, cook it, and eat it. Find your inner happy. Doesn't matter if it's a mushroom or a cervid. Just do it.

Have you ever been struck with a certain sadness? One that seems to come out of the blue. Perhaps it has a melancholy overtone to it, but in any case it appears uninvited, unwelcome and rather short-lived. It disappears from whence it came, all for reasons unknown.

Now here is a depressing thought if there ever was one.

I think that if I don't have a good cry on occasion, it is physically bad for me. I have even been known to put in a particularly tear-jerking dvd episode of The waltons or a sad movie, specifically to induce a sort of brain catharsis I get from just letting myself be frikkin SAD.

I will not be able to get the picture of you crying over an episode of the Waltons out of my head today snood.

If we knew each other well, this wouldn't suprise you a bit.

If you ever feel you need a good cry, but are on a tight schedule, I advise you buy a copy of a Terms of Endearment DVD.

Cue it up to the scene where Debra Winger is saying goodbye to her boys.

I cannot watch that without instantly becoming a tearful pile of mush. I feel so much better afterwards.

It's one of my favorite parts, for tear-jerking. also the moment after she dies when her mom hugs Flap and says "there's nothing harder."



As GW said, for women there's a large hormonal compent that very complicated.

There have been times I've become suddenly sad, as chumley described, or just plain tearful, with no particular sadness involved. Like snood said, it's a catharsis. As far as just tears, it can be a release of pent up energies.

Yeah, I don't worry about short bouts of sadness. I know they have their purpose.

[ Try and distract yourself by doing something you enjoy. For cjhsa it might be strangling a kitten, others might prefer to go for a walk, read a favorite book, or watch a funny movie.

Yup, it's easy to imagine you strangling your women from both ends.

give it to your woman. she doubtless needs it.
