mabey i should just cry?

iv had a pretty hard life......suffered through several stages of depression and whatnot, thus in the past year iv aquired (acute?) depersonalization....im pretty numb when it comes to emotional stuff to the point were in place of an emotion i just get sensation wich is (imo) my body telling me i should be feeling something....its been a wile since iv cried, probably a year or two...as i havnt had the motivation, but iv just finished watching a rather emotional television series today (their were tears in almost every episode) and im to the point were i can literally feel it in my face, like it has nowere left to go than to my eyes....im thinking 10 of my 160 lbs is bottled emotion....and i think i want to cry....for like three hours a day for like five days, but that might be a little much on my dried up tear ducts....

anyways......how often do you guys cry?...........ever for the sake of letting pent up things out? iv also heard its good for you

 

well I've had that numb feeling before,
It's awful. I overcame all of my depression.
I would have panic attacks and everything,
it got pretty bad. And in natural ways i overcame it.
I don't really know exactly how-
I blame a lot of it on changing my way of thinking,
and realizing I had a purpose here. anyways,
I think crying can definitely help.
If you ever need to talk you can pm me anytime.
[[= I'm emily by the way.

 

I cry when I go commando and catch my nutsack in the zipper. But that's about it.

 

i suffered for many years now with various forms of depression and anxiety.
i've yet to be 'cured'.
the first time in my life i recall being depressed and having suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm i was only about 7 years old.

over the years i've had many ups and downs.
i have had times i felt numb, and time i felt like i was feeling too much.
and times when i thought i was 'cured'.

i've been in bad relationships, have had a rocky relationship with my family, and have lost many friends.

that being said however, i do have a wonderful husband now, and we find solace in each other when the world just doesn't seem to give any.

as far as crying, and the showing of sorrowful emotion, i feel like i cry too much at times.
well i'm not crying now; but i can just lose it sometimes.
if i've had a stressful day (which might just mean having to go to the store and there being lots of people and a huge queue) by the time i get home to take care of what i need to do just for normal daily living i'll be at my wits end and feeling panicky and will tend to burst into tears.
then there is the depression. those days you just feel like it's too much effort to breathe, and then my mind is usually focusing on loads of negative things because i feel so down and useless and then i cry as well.

i even cry at times over stupid things people say on stupid forums. because to me, even virtual life encompasses a 'reality' for me as i don't have mates in real life to turn to.
ultimately i feel really fragile.
still i have times i feel numb; but those quickly dissipate into either intense joy and merriment or intense pain and sorrow.
there seems to not be any inbetween.

 

Crying is nature's way of taking out the garbage.

Let'er rip.

i really apreciate everyone sharing and stuff

take it easy

 

I cry whenever it comes up. Holding it back doesn't help with anything and it's always awesome to just let go and whatever comes out is OK

You might want to look into homeopathic remedies too. You can get the medicines on Amazon for less than $8 and they work better than anything a doctor can perscribe. You can find out what remedy is right for you by going to www.ABCHomeopathy.com

If that doesn't work - PM me and I'll help you figure it out

 

i don't think i even am capable of crying anymore. it's been about 15 years since i've actually cried. my eyes occasionally get watery, and i get that tight feeling in my chest like i want to cry, but no matter how miserable i am or how much i just want to get it out, i can't get myself to cry.



if you can do it though, definitely do so. i remember it feeling so good, and there have been so many times i wish more than anything i could just get it out. i guess i just had a period when i didn't want to cry, and during that time i forgot how, so i definitely think that you should cry whenever the urge hits, because you don't want to lose the ability

 

I cry abt once or twice a month. I read somewhere that crying might actually release stress related toxins through your tears.

Plausible?

 

For the first half of my life I didn't cry at all- I don't know how to explain it though I felt I had depression for a while(even in elementary school). I got on anti depressants (around 17/18) which cut down on the un-necissary crying.
But now that most things are in balance I probably cry about once or twice a month, depending on certain 'events' or whatever.

 

Please, by all means, let it out! And also - don't feel ashamed of it either. I don't cry very often, but there are some times when you just have to let it out. Don't be fooled into thinking that guys can't have a soft side too. Whatever emotion you're feeling, just let it be. This might be the first step to overcoming some of the depersonalization

Good luck man - you deserve not to bottle yourself up!

 

im stuck with the depersonalization but thanks alot for careing

the world needs more of that

 

Always just cry.

It releases... it's fun.

I had a great cry last night. I needed it and I could feel the pressure going away. I'm glad I have good friends to be there when I get silly and cry in front of them too.

hehe
