I heard that woman have a year where they just cry. Cry over the mistakes made in the past, their progress in life and after realizing things they could of avoided. The thing is after the year of crying the woman comes out stronger than ever.

I’m turning 30 this year and I can say I’m not a emotional person. I rarely cry or been the type of person that cries over everything, but lately I just can’t stop crying. I cry over ANYTHING! Rather good or bad. If I see something on social media I cry! I can think myself into crying (which could have helped me back in my younger days lol) I’ve never been this emotional in my life... I thought I was depressed or had some type of mental disorder but after seeing a counselor it turns out I’m just find but I do have issues with anxiety. The point is why does everything hit you at this age? I can’t stop thinking about the choices I made in the past and now I see people for who they are in my life and it makes me sad about the time I waisted. My past is affecting me and now I see through stupid lies it’s too much and I feel sorry for my younger self. God the mistakes it’s too much at times and I try to remember that I didn’t know better but Jesus the stuff I went through makes me numb and I can’t do things without thinking it through. I have always heard of people being stuck in their ways when they are older I use to look at it in a negative way but now I truly understand why people are stuck in their ways. When you have experienced stuff that almost broke you it’s human to make sure you never feel that way again. I just feel such much compassion for myself and feel like I have to protect myself if that pushes people away then I’m prepared to lose them. So ladies have any of you felt this way before?

Have you read about Saturn Return? What you're describing and the age you are, it could be that you're being affected by your Saturn Return. It seems that you're doing exactly what is best for getting through a Saturn Return too -- facing the mistakes and trying to have a better future, so you don't repeat what your younger self did that was painful. That's the lesson in Saturn Return.

I haven't had a year where I just cry, but I've definitely had times where things were so bad that I cried more often than I normally would.

30’s have been an age of self examination. Both good and bad. Coming to terms with my life to see what is and isn’t working.

Some of that is painful.

I think you’re just going through this stage, many of my friends did as well.


Yeah I feel it and now I’m just trying to put things in place so I can avoid the same mistake. I have a question do you now have a hard time falling in love now? Do you think this causes you to sabotage relationships because you now “know better”

I don't know about crying. I view crying as a sign of weakness, but that is me.

However, I will say after turning 30, as the years go on, the less I give a flying fuck about what people say about me. I stopped really needing anyone's validation outside of my own, and that started back when I turned 30, and completely happened by the time I was 35. I see past mistakes or traumas as life lessons that I never regret, or would change. Simply because it has made me who I am today, and I like who I am, faults and all. As time goes on, I have become more and more comfortable in my own skin. The older I get, the less I care about hiding the bad things I have done in my life, because those events do not define me as a person.

Simply put, the older you get as a woman, for myself, the less shit I will put up with, and the less I give a shit what people say about me, or to me. I have reach a pinnacle, where I am 100% secure in myself, and that's something the younger version of myself, lacked.

My 30th birthday year, I packed up my life and moved 1200 miles from everyone I knew except my then partner ( we moved together). I knew I had to do something beyond what I had been doing up until that point. I wasn't crying all the time as I too see it as a weakness like others mentioned but I was very unhappy with life.

I have always viewed things I have gone through as life lessons and try to take away the positives from them. yes sometimes that has been hard, very, very hard. But I refuse to give in and allow the traumas to make me a victim. You can't change the past, as much as you may want to or how much you wish it could be different, it just is.

At times easier said than done. But if you focus on now and/or the future vs the past think of all the amazing things you can accomplish.

Hahahaha

Quite a loaded question for me...

I’ve been unhappily married for a long time.

The year I turned 31 I realized the depth of unhappiness I was in. The abuse and neglect from my husband had taken its toll and I wasn’t able to deny what was happening.

I also reconnected with a man I had known for a few years.

We had this magnetic connection I attempted to ignore but couldn’t.

I feel in love with him, and for once I faced my fears and allowed for totally venerability. Because my soul needed to experience it. I knew the outcome wouldn’t be a fairy tale, but it was time to stop allowing fear to hold me back.

Wow This is exactly how I feel. I realized the abuse I felt in my marriage and now I can I feel for a new man and now I no longer think of things in fairy tale I except that it may not be as I plan but I no longer let fear hold me back. Good luck on your journey

Wow This is exactly how I feel. I realized the abuse (financial and emotional) I went through in my marriage and I’m divorcing after years of being depressed and unhappy. I really like this new guy and I am trying to allow myself to be vulnerable now I am more realistic and patient but I still believe in fairy tale endings. I now except that things may not go as I plan or perfect but I no longer let fear hold me back. Good luck on your journey

Most people notice that their metabolism declines (again or for the first time) around 27. You might have some hormonal shifts as time goes by too. Our glands are always busy cooking up some new thing to deal with.

I didn't have a really big life crisis where I was like "How did I get here?" until my early 40s, but that was because of some stuff that happened. I deal with depression, though, so I've had depression crises off and on since I was a kid. There was never a year where I got all the shit and crying out and never had to deal with it again, unfortunately.

Sometimes I dwell on my mistakes, particularly the ones I made later in life when I feel like I should have been old enough to know better. As for insecurities, I have 'em but the truth is, I know what they are and can voice them and then point and laugh at them. They don't really bother me like they once did.

Edit: Just noticed this is in the Scorpio forum. Did you only want Scorp women? I'm a Gemini.




No all woman I just couldn’t find a place to put this there is no category for girl talk lol

I don’t view crying as a weakness anymore I cry because I feel stuff so deep rather good or bad I don’t cry over men I cry over seeing a disabled kid walk for the first time or somebody finding their dream job or social media but when I was younger I viewed crying as a weakness and now all I do is cry lol I’m moving far by myself next month from everything I know because I feel that it’s best for me and my future so I’m trying not to let anything define me at this point

My whole 20s I was depressed. Before that even but it was rampant then. Once I stopped letting it control me and started taking control of my own life, I started to feel better. Now, in my 30s, I'm shocked and pleased to say I've almost never been happier!! Now having the foresight from past experiences, I feel more confident in myself and the decisions I make now. Yes, the past mistakes hurt badly and you will have to learn to forgive yourself before you can truly move on. But in those mistakes comes learning. They are hard lessons but they will bring you stronger for the real thing. Being more discerning and trusting my gut more has increased my luck and happiness. But yes, I remember the years of crying. I'm just now getting some direction in life so that helps with the anxiety. I hope you can use this time wisely but I am sorry you are having a hard time. It may help finding a mentor of sorts to talk to.

I'm 29 and I get super emotional about the people i care about and get teary. Or a certain song hits me the right way and I can't hold back. It's random.

I've starting writing again because it seemed to help me years ago. Sometimes, the things I wrote about I didn't realize until the pen hit the paper.


I bought a journal but forget to write I use to right a lot when I was younger. Writing is a good outlet. It’s the same with me I just started getting emotional over a lot of stuff. For me it’s when I look into someone eyes I can feel the sadness when I see something on social media good or bad it bothers me I’m 29 turning 30 this year and it’s been very emotional for me

I'm the exact same. I can't watch certain things, it hurts me.

If writing is too tedious, which in finding out, typing on a laptop could be quicker.

Your empathy is beautiful, and it's okay to cry. Don't feel guilt about it.
