A real tear!!
I had a real live honest to God tear fall tonight!!! I haven't cried in over a year thanks to Paxil and I've noticed some stirring of emotions again this last few weeks. Last week I welled up in frustration about some life issues, but no tears actually fell. But tonight, while watching "My Sister's Keeper" I welled up and tears actually flowed and I even sniffled! I cried, I tell you, I CRIED! It was awesome,lol.

Re: A real tear!!
I was reading failblog.org the other day, and genuinely laughed... even had trouble stopping. As I tapered off with a chuckle, I realized that I hadn't laughed, really laughed, in a very long time.
It made me smile

Re: A real tear!!
jheaney that's amazing!! I haven't laughed like that in ages either. I came close last summer during a window and after a lot of wine, but it still wasn't the real deal. I can't wait!

Re: A real tear!!
I don't even remember what it was, some meme or LOLcat, but it was great. I had to lurk on their site for a whole day after that, trying to recapture the magic... then I realized I already had

Re: A real tear!!
It's weird, I kind of enjoy having a good cry these days, it feels good to be able to.
