Crying but not feeling.

[anxious_hb]

The last few times I have cried in bed at night I felt different to usual. I often feel myself getting worked up when I cry until I'm sobbing, but over the last couple of weeks it's almost as if I have lost the energy to even give crying a good go! I lay on bed motionless, the tears simply run down my cheek and on to my pillow. The one time when my boyfriend was laying next to me he didn't even notice. I just feel a bit like 'well this is how it is, it's horrid but no point getting worked up'.

I just feel a bit out of sorts and wondered if others had ever experienced this.

Thanks

Hiya,

I am going through a bad time at the moment with anxiety (well...I hope it is) My mom and dad went on holiday yesterday for two weeks and I kept filling up until I just had to cry. I found that when I did cry it felt really weird, almost like I couldn't cry and I had a horrible feeling in my throat..almost like my cry was blocked. It was strange.

Hi guys, I've had the same! Though before anxiety and panic I never cried (it was weak to cry) and when I did I hid away got really angry with myself. And yes I've cried in bed with boyfriend next to me and he had no clue at all (but that was cos I didn't let it all out). Now tho with health anxiety, panic and depression woo, well I just don't care any more, I just cry if I need to! I still hide away go loo or in another room but I'm more open to hugs or if I'm on my own and sobbing I'll text a friend who'll help me along.

But trust me hun those tears will turn into a good old sob one day and you'll feel a bit less tensed. It's like pressure being released lol.

All the best guys hope this helps at least a little x

Hi

I have suffered silently with depression for over 25yrs.

Afraid of what other people thought of me. So socializing is very hard.

I cry everyday but when I am in my own quiet space.

I sometimes I head voices in my head but could never remember what.

I have seen many counsellors in the past which didn't really help.

So I deceided to work on myself this took a lot of self-healing and control but made me umnderstand what was going on in my mind.

So as soon as I feel low sit quietly on my own and put pen to paper.

I wrote all my thoughts down and what was going on in my head.

This became a regular habit. So I got a cheaper Notebook and wrote the date and kept a journal. Its a great way of off-loading your problems when there is no-one to talk to.

This will help you and give an insight to your therapist if you have one of what is really troubling you so that you can move forward with your life.
