Odd Emotions

[gleamx]

Since my parents passing(15+ years ago), I haven’t been able to have a healthy cry/emotional release. Like situations that would typically dictate that sort of response I find myself unable to. Oddly enough situations that don’t require tears I occasionally find myself not necessarily crying but tearing up, maybe a couple tears running down my cheek. I’m not sure what exactly this is a sign of, but I recently almost had a mental break and it was the first time I actually cried, and it was due to a very real feeling of having no one or nothing in my life.

I’m sorry for all your pain & suffering.

You are not alone here.

I’m so glad you could release some tears.

Thank you, it did seem to help at the time but it felt void of a bunch of emotion.

I can relate quite well. I too can't really emotionally express myself since I was 7years old but iv been working on it and iv cried three weeks ago.some pains are so bad that we cave in but we must come out

I think it's because when a situation occurs, one that most would cry about, you might put up a mental wall to guard yourself from the pain. I have done this for so long myself. But the thing is we can't always have that wall up, so as life goes on we let it down little by little. Then something happens, big or small, that overwhelms or frustrates us or just make life a little more difficult. It ends up being the straw that breaks the camels back, and since you've held in all these built up emotions and now have no wall to protect you, it can hit you harder than it should. This is just my experience tho, I know it's different for everyone.
