When the house is empty except for me usually I just break down and cry loudly. I stop when either I run out of tears or my dog starts licking away my tears and I start to laugh. Does that happen to anyone?
Oh, how I wish I could. I haven't had a good cry in… I can't even remember!
I've tried to cry because I've heard that crying is healthy, and I actually do feel better on the rare occasion that I do cry. It relaxes me, though I also hate crying because, once I start, it's very, very hard to stop.
It's like trying to stop a burst pipe, lol! Or a waterfall out in nature.
I think that's why I don't do it often, or at all, anymore. And, I think I'm just dead inside, too, honestly. I can't even seem to feel love for anyone anymore, not even my partner, whereas, before, even the thought of losing him through death or a breakup would make me tear up immediately.
Now, when I think that, I just feel nothing. Nothing but numbness.
What's better, total numbness or not being able to stop crying? I wonder.
Anyway, thanks for this thread.
Peace/hugs to you all.
