Cry

Cry

How does one make themselves cry to relieve all tears and saddness inside. To make a little space and some much needed relief.
All to often especially of late the pain within me dwells and I know if I was able to cry I would get some release. Instead I end up experienceing anxiety attacks and mini melt downs all of which disable me to function. I want to cry but I fear I am cried out.
I am not running away from the feeling at lest.

Re: Cry

This has been an issue for me over the years. I know at times, it would HELP if I cried but couldn't. Then other times I would be crying at weird stuff....usually news as there is so much sadness in the world.

my mum visited last year and I found I would burst into tears with her, which I found embarrassing as I could not help it. Mum was okay with that and said maybe I felt okay in her presence....this was true, but also very surprising as I have had a complicated relationship with her over the years.
