I wish I can try. But no one cares if I try or not. Probably he will feel more annoyed if I cry.
Maybe you can cry for yourself? I heard it's a release of pain. I'm not sure about your situation, but maybe your pain could be lifted a bit if you let some tears fall?
Since I am taking a certain medication I cannot cry properly. In some sense this is sad. Though I have concluded the positives overweigh. I still can cry for 30 seconds but not more. I don't feel way more numb since I am taking them. The crying thing is the only thing that changed. I can remember crying was no relief. It was rather a sign for deep, existential pain and desperation.
Taking the medication took some edges of the pain. But the best thing my brain is more organized.
Not sure how much I miss crying. Sometimes it can be cleaning. On the other hand I think sometimes it intensified the pain.
That's interesting.. I'm quite opposite to you: I wish I could cry. I think holding back pain like this for so long is deteriorating my being, somehow..
can't cry, no matter what I do.
i watch sad shows and listen to sad songs to help me cry but it doesn't work
I know how you feel. I'm sorry.
I cried a lot a few weeks ago now I just feel so numb I can't cry anymore. Feel like a robot. Anything I do feel and any emotion I have is always unpleasant so maybe something in me decided to feel nothing at all.
At least in my experience, I think being numb is way worse than being sad all the time. But they're both horrible. Do you wish you could feel, again? I'm not sure if I do. Even though it's horrible, I'm used to this feeling.
I've been crying myself to sleep these past few days. But just yesterday I got into an argument with my mom bc apparently I've forgotten where i came from bc i didn't have any money to give her. Mind you, I'm a struggling student. Where am I supposed to get money from if not my own parent? I've been hungry for the last week, rationing out one tiny meal for the entire day but I couldn't even ask her for her help, yet here she is, swearing at a teenager for money. I'm so sick of it all. It's always the same cycle with her, it makes me so mad/sad.
I'll never understand why people are so mean. Especially to their own flesh and blood. I don't have the full context, I know, but it still boils my blood.. When people pick themselves over other people. I'm so sorry. Maybe you can try pick up a job?
I was born for literally nothing, just the other month I was hopeful there was a purpose or something to my life but it had to come crashing down in ways unimaginable and confirm to me I'm nothing but a miserable piece of nothing who was born to rot and simply die
I always consider Hope as an abusive ex. She seduces you, makes you think that you guys have an opportunity together again. Until you invite her into your house and she's always insulting you (but insisting that you always "have hope").. Causing a lot of problems, until you move out and you realise how fruitless she is. If it's any consolation, we've all been there. I have. You're not a piece of nothing; no less than what everyone else is.
The last time I cried was about a year and a half ago when my girlfriend ditched me… Somethings snapped in my brain and I probably cried more in three days than I had in my entire life combined… And then I lost my mind for about six months… Stopped sleeping… Now I don't feel anything at all… Maybe if I listen to a moving piece of music I would cry but I haven't listened to music in about a year either… I can't risk having any feelings at all… The second half of Beethoven's emperor concerto with rain falling outside would probably open me up… I could think of all the beautiful moments I've had in life and all the beautiful things I'll never experience… love, marriage, a child… That might make me weep…
I don't have any words that could comfort you at all.. I'm so sorry. With everything that you've told me, you're in a lot of pain - pain that's undeserved. I'm joyous that you've held on thus far, because I know I would've been gone far sooner than you.. You're strong, even if you refuse to admit it.
Didn't cry today. I just feel numb.
The most scariest thing about you,
@Hope, is how you're supposed to be the person that.. Well, has the most hope in you. But comparing your earliest posts, to your most recent ones.. It's as if you've died. And I'm so sorry it happened to you.
It's now September, and here I am back on the forum, for yet again, trying to find a way to ctb. Back in June, due to psychological distress, I ended up getting sick - whether it's porphyria or fibromyalgia. I was engaged to a narcissist who kicked me out on the 13th because he couldn't handle me being sick. Now, I'm back in a toxic environment with a mother who could care less, and a father who is only half here due to his stroke. I'm so tired, and want everything to end. It hurts also having friends who only use you and take advantage of you, but when you need them, no one is there.
Christ.. I'm so sorry to hear that.
I'm crying right now....fears are overwhelming me...they are creating a tension in me,in my mind
I felt severe confusion and fear last night, too. I wanted to cry, too. I know how you feel. It's awful. It's absolutely awful. I hope that feeling has gone away for you. It's damn near crippling..
