Answer 1

I no the feeling. you become so used to bottling up your feelings inside and not letting them out that you no longer know how to let go, you are no longer able to cry. is there a reason that you dont let your feelings out? i used to get smacked when i cried, so now i no longer cry, i keep it all inside. i also need to cry, ive needed to cry for a long time. keeping it inside tears you apart, it physically hurts. you feel like not breathing... it is a bad feeling. there is some reason that you dont cry, whether you know it or not, you need to figure it out before you can do anything. if you want to try to get yourself to cry, go to your room, away from everything else. then relax and just think... i used to think about the saddest thing that i could and just keep thinking about that certain thing until i cried. dont try to stop the tears from coming, that will stop you from crying. just learn to let go of yourself....

Answer 2

I have difficulty crying a lot of the time, even when I'm sad. I don't know why either; it must just be how some people are. I don't know how to "let go and just cry," either. What helps sometimes is thinking about whatever it is that's making me sad and really just imagining the situation getting worse and worse, and after a while I can sometimes cry, and then I feel better.

But if you're really, really sad, and you have been for a long time, you should probably talk to a therapist. You might have depression or something.

Answer 4

You cannot cry because there is no serious thing for you to make you cry. Crying is more of emotion engagement than will power to do it. For me if I want to cry I think of how unfair this world is and how many people are dying every second in this planet either starving or illness.

Answer 5

Been depressed too long and the emotional system is loaded. Relax and be happy and look for a friend who is like you and can understand this time. It will all be over in a few years and you will be happy again.

Answer 7

Some people just do not allow themselves to cry, no matter how rough things get. You should just let yourself go, you will feel a lot better.

Answer 8

it is because u want to seem strong to yourself and that you can get through this sadness with out crying and if u cry then u aren't strong. its kind of hard to say lol

Answer 9

Are you on any medications? I know that even if you are extremely depressed there are a few antidepressants that seem to suppress the actual tears from being produced.

Answer 10
