Today, I was really stressed, so I tried to let it out by crying. It lasted about 30 seconds, and I was making fun of myself the whole time. Even my subconscious thinks I'm pathetic. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was sitting in my cubicle at work, nursing a hangover, and thinking how stupid I was for getting so shit-faced last night. I then realized that I was voicing my thoughts out loud, and the whole office had gone quiet, listening to me castigate myself. FML
Today, I went to therapy. I started talking about my childhood and my life. By the time the session was over my therapist was crying. FML
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
Today, I cried so much I felt nauseous and almost puked. Why was I crying? I made up a hot, brooding, cold, and heartless guy who secretly cared about me, and who's super protective. Then I imagined him dying by being stabbed. I cried over a guy I made up in my head. FML
Today, I felt lousy and decided to give myself a pep-talk in the mirror. After a while, I cheered up and went about my day. I soon found out that my sister had recorded me through the crack of the door and posted the video on Facebook. I'm humiliated. FML
Today, I had depressive feelings, so I decided to write about it to find out what was bothering me, and let go of the negative thoughts. While doing so, I had a panic attack. FML
Today, I reduced my psychologist to tears. FML
Today, knowing that I have been in a lot of stress lately, my friend tried to teach me how to meditate. Eventually, I ended up in a deeply relaxed state in which my mind was completely clear. When I snapped out of it, I realized I'd pissed myself. FML
Today, some idiot kid teased and taunted me for weeping on my "already bad performance", recording it on his phone threatening to put it on social media. I was singing and playing the guitar, in front of my childhood sweetheart, and supposedly soon-to-be wife's grave. It was our song. I do this every year on this day. FML
Today, I was trolling on a My Little Pony forum. I was midway through typing a big post, calling them all a bunch of attention-seeking losers who act like morons because their parents never loved them, when I broke down in tears, realizing I'd just perfectly described myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's because you dropped out of High School due to "English class being hard", thus leaving you closed-minded and ignorant about the male gender.

Laughter and crying are both ways to heal, your probably trying to take the depressing route when actually your body wants to laugh it off.

I had that same problem! Seriously. It's not something I should worry about right?

Are you bipolar or something? How do you make fun of yourself if you are genuinely upset?

Because he's male and males are typically taught not to let a "feminine" emotion out. Sometimes it just happens, which is probably OP's case, but he still felt like an idiot because it spilled out.

Don't feel bad about crying. It used to be a sign of strength as it showed the man had actually cared. Then new age crap spread, and anyway, it be a good idea to pick-up a relaxing hobby. As others have said, working out is a good one. I also recommend video-gaming. So many ways one can vent with those. >=3 Really, just try different things and find what works best for you. Hope your day got better! =)

Man, I wish you wouldn't be so hard on yourself! It reminds me of something a dear, kind professor of mine (who was also a psychologist) told me once:"We all have that little voice inside that represents an internal dialogue that we all have with ourselves. Sometimes I wish I could have a talk with that voice in some people because you can tell that their voice is really mean." I wish I could do the same with yours, man! It sounds like you have really been ridiculed in your life, and if you want advice, I would say try to go easier on yourself and make that voice nicer! You can change it-I know, I am speaking from experience!
