Can anyone relate to this? I have so much sadness and emotional pain, but just feel numb and unable to cry.

Crying is only one way to release our emotions. There are multitude of ways to relieve our inner feelings.

Some clean, walk or jog, some are creative and some write or play an instrument or sing. Others like to yell and scream at the mirror or wall and some turn to animals for compassion. All outlet methods are healthy (including crying) as long as you are not injuring yourself or harming others :)

I used to cry all the time. Now I almost never cry. Am I depressed? Yes. Do I have anxieties? Yes. I just accept the fact that I don't cry anymore, even when I feel I should I dont. And that's ok ;)

Yes, I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel like listening to a song or watching a movie that I know is going to make me cry just so I can get it out of my system

Yes. I have no idea why I feel this way but I just feel like this flood of tears is inside me waiting to come out and I want to let it out but I just can't.

I understand what you are going through. Sometimes it helps when I scream out loud or just run.

Yes. I have felt that way many times. I just wanted to cry, but the tears would not come. I wanted to feel, but inside I was numb. Eventually, you will cry. It is a huge release. Sometimes life is too difficult to face and your body shuts down. Once the tears come, you can begin the journey of healing.

I can relate. I think i do it almost everyday. It feels like I'm living just to breathe. I have nothing to live for and i'm just surviving and don't know how I'm doing that.
