Today, for the first time in years, I broke down in tears, over a Hallmark commercial. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

PMS FTW
Today, I realized how emotional I get around my time of month when I cried because a cheese commercial was so "touching." FML

Today, while I was working my shift at the store, my girlfriend appeared and asked to talk to me. Once we were alone, she burst into tears and started sobbing. Turns out someone's dad died in her favorite TV show and she wanted some comfort. FML

Empathy is never toxic
Today, I was sitting outside of a counseling center waiting for someone, watching an older lady bawl her eyes out as she exited the building. Absolutely broke my heart, because asking her if she was okay would have been intrusive and unasked for... and yet I can't get the sight of her crying out of my head. FML

Emotional support please
Today, I cried myself to sleep. Last night too, and the night before that, and the nights before those. But I guess that’s what life is, huh? FML

Sorry…
Today, I was falling in love with the nostalgia of having handwritten love letters and flowers left on my windshield. Turns out my "secret admirer" was just a mean prank conjured up by my coworkers. They laughed. I cried, hard. FML

Nervous
Today, I sat down to discuss wanting a promotion and ended up getting so nervous that I broke down crying in front of my boss. FML

Today, I was trying to get drama students to attempt to make themselves cry. I was not having any luck, until suddenly a girl burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. I jumped up to applaud, saying what a wonderful thing it is to have such expressive kids. Turns out her grandma just died. FML

Today, my spouse gave me the gift of hugging me. I'm so touch-starved, I cried. I can see our relationship crumbling but I'm the only one who seems to want to fix it. Our kid saw me and I can't even explain how sad it made me. FML

Oh god, I wonder what you've been keeping to yourself all this years for you to finally break down to a commercial. You need a therapist o_O

"For the first time in years" indicates that it's happened before. OP didn't say "for the first time ever".

Those are HSUS commercials. They are as bad as PETA.

I usually break down in tears when I get to the register at the Hallmark store. "Damn it, I just paid as much for one page of trite, insipid, doggerel poetry that I would for a whole book!"

Yeah, and now half the store is filled with those annoying ones that play music and cost 3 times as much. It's a ******* card, people spend 2 seconds looking at them, and then the next 10 forgetting what it said.

I went to Hallmark, and there was Webkinz and Pillow Pets, too.

Look on the bright side. It's a lot cheaper than therapy for your craziness.

I don't think they make Hallmark cards for whatever the hell you're going through.

The hallmark commercial where the old lady checks her mail everyday...and gets nothing. One day the neighbor sends her the Hallmark card. Yeah that shit makes me cry. :/

Or they could, you know, hold the video-camera. Just saying.
