I’m new here, and I need people to talk to. I feel like I’m the only person around me who feels the way I do. I feel like things will never get better for me, and every time I want to cry it out, my body won’t let me. My body physically won’t let me cry and I don’t understand why. Aren’t you supposed to cry when things get so hard and you’re beyond overwhelmed?

Sorry to hear what you going through. Your not alone.

You can always count on me if you need to talk. You’re not alone

Sm_28,

I’m sorry your going through this. I cry when I’m angry, disappointed, sad or overwhelmed

And then there are times I don’t cry at all. Sometimes through my life I feel things won’t get better and I get discouraged. I tell myself I can’t think that way. I need hope and so do you.

Do you know the story of author J K Rowling? She was broke and wrote the Harry Potter stories. Or how about Sam Walton who started Wal-mart or Stephen King the author. Google their backgrounds. Or go to YouTube and search inspirational stories on Ted Talks.

Their stories give me hope and I hope they will help you too. Sending you hugs!

I understand how you feel. I am unable to cry even though stuck in awful times of loneliness, anxiety and depression, no tears. I think it is the one medicine I take for bipolar that erases that ability. Crying can be so cleansing. If you need to talk I am here.

Hello sm_28, it is very nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum! I am so sorry that you are feeling the way that you do. I don’t know your circumstances, but I feel like you do. Six years ago, I fell at work and have been bed ridden ever since. The darkness envelopes me to the point where I feel like there is no hope. What has helped me has been my faith and being able to meditate on the Bible. One passage that has really helped me reads, “and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” Phil. 4:7 NIV. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
