What do you do when you can't cry?

[Wastingecho]

It's not that I'm physically damaged. My eyes water when tired or irritated but I can't cry no matter how sad I get.

I'm sad all the time but can't shed sny tears to let it out. I have to cope and wait for it to pass, but it keeps building and doesn't end.

Barely holding on as it is and I'm so tired.

I don't know, I'm not able to have big cries anymore either. I can and do tear up when someone hurts my feelings, but then it stops. It's like, for me I mean, the bad traumas and sorrows are too big to trigger crying. Maybe it's a part of me is shocked into some sort of paralysis. Maybe my subconscious is worried I'll never stop once I start, so it's walled off behind a dam. I'm not sure.

I hope you an feel better soon @Wastingecho. I'm sorry it's like that for you.

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad.

When my father died, I was just emotionally numb but also very tense. I tried getting an acupuncture treatment and afterward, I was able to cry.

So I know it's my answer to everything, but I'd recommend trying acupuncture for this.

I think even when we're not crying on the outside, our heart is still crying out.
