Tears not come

[Vin1971]

I feel a well of emotions inside but that well won’t come out through tears in spite of being hurt and broken

Let it out, think of something that has hurt you and let the tears flow.

[Vin1971 in reply to Hidden]

I get so close some days but it won’t happen

[Hidden in reply to Vin1971]

Are you afraid of crying?

I find sometimes just writing it all out is very cathartic and helpful....

Some antidepressants don’t allow us to cry. I had that issue on a specific one. But people are right. You should write about it. Watch a sad movie. Crying can be so releasing!

Oh, Vin - I feel for you. I've been very tearful lately. Unfortunately, I can never cry when I'm by myself. I need to be with a caring, loving, supportive person before the tears will come. But I don't want to let the caring, loving, supportive people in my life know how incredibly depressed I am, so I generally hide my tears. The people who are closest to me don't understand or experience depression. I feel incredibly alone with this cruel disease. What concerns me, also, is that I seem to spend nearly all my free time trying to find a solution/cure/treatment, but I can find no escape from the emotions of depression and anxiety. I'm hoping the new medication I started taking a few days ago will kick in in the next few weeks and lift me out of this funk. Meanwhile, I love the idea of watching a sad movie.
