What does it mean when u can't cry anymore?

[Bluetj]

Seems like the longer this goes on, the less tears I have been able to cry. For a while now I have not been able to cry even when I am @ my lowest.

I hear you. Sometimes I experience way too many emotions to cry. Maybe that's what it means.

For me it meant finally seeing everything in perspective and knowing I was either at the end or I was going to have to make a U turn and start the healing process. I think when you cant cry anymore is your minds way of just releasing it all and working on a solution, just my opinion

Hi Bluetj, "Tregan71" is right in that your mind wants you to find other

ways to express your emotions. You're all cried out, time to move on. xx

I don't want it to turn to anger cause I don't know anything else to do.

Bluetj, at one time, I cried every day for 5 years straight including when I was hospitalized in patient. Ironically it was anger that stopped the crying.

Not anger at myself or others but anger at Anxiety controlling me.

It wasn't until I yelled out loud to anxiety to leave me alone that it started

backing off. I couldn't believe my mind had that kind of power.

When I had to go somewhere and my mind started telling me lies in why I

couldn't, I would use my mad tone and tell anxiety it could no longer tell me

what to do and I would go on with my day.

It took a while but eventually, I didn't have to get mad any more and the crying

had long left me. I got my life back by having expressed myself verbally.

Now I use the mental approach of meditation and breathing which keeps me

calm and in control. Don't worry bluetj, sometimes what we fear may be the answer. xx

But I want to cry, I need to cry. I need an outlet.

[Agora1 in reply to Bluetj]

I hear your pain through your words. I've spent the last couple hours researching

what can be done for those who want to cry and can't.

The most I've come up with is that our brains eventually turn off the signal which

allows us to feel emotion and cry. As well as them saying to talk with a doctor.

I'm sorry I can't help you more. xx

God has blessed & I've been allowed to cry. I still want to just run but don't have the energy nor do I have any where to run. 😔😔

[Agora1 in reply to Bluetj]

Bluetj, all in time, the tears came back. I hope you felt some release.

I too had times where I just wanted to run away, but to what??

What I wanted to run from was within me and until I addressed that,

I would shed the tears and feel the pain.

That was years ago. I now am content within myself.

I hope that you too will find the peace within you one day soon.

Until then, we are here for you. Sending you a virtual hug xx
