My relationship ended this past Wednesday. While I was with him I was crying a river. I was so emotional! I cried while we were at his house, and all the way while he was driving me home. I even cried for a bit when I got home. But I haven't been able to cry since. I have the urge to cry, and I feel like I need to cry because that usually makes me feel a lot better. But it's been a mission impossible and now I feel like I'm suffocating since I can't let my emotions out by crying. I've tried hearing to sad songs, watching movies, videos, reading sad stories... I even rewatched Mufasa's death on Youtube (The Lion King). My eyes haven't even gotten watery. This has NEVER even happened to me. I'm not emotionless nor my feelings are numb... cause I definitely feel the emotional pain and emptiness... I just can't seem to physically show it. What the heck is going on with me!?!? Have any of you guys gone through something like this?

Me too. My ex broke up with me almost 2months ago and the last time I cried was a month ago. I think after a certain period of crying and emotion, you're mind just gets used to it and doesn't feel the need to cry anymore. I'm not saying you're not affected by it, but you're body just doesn't want to let it out cuz it thinks "i've done this many times already, give me a break".

I know this post isn't meant to be funny but this got me. Oh man. Lmfao.

 

You're probably just done crying for now. Don't try to force it. Just accept and acknowledge your emotions for now. And for now it's not crying.

 

Months before my official split I went through my whole breakdown. Depression, crying, not sleeping, not eating.

 

And then at the actual split I just stood there and stared at him! Not even one tear! Nothing! I just felt nothing. It was as if my body had already gone through the worst of the pain and it refused to let me feel that again.

 

It had been processed, let out, and it was done, and I had nothing left.

 

Maybe try watching some Lifetime Movie Network if you WANT to cry, a particularly touching scene just happened and I'm definitely watery.

Thanks for the advice guys. I guess you both are right. I just feel like my feelings are bottling up and I'm suffocating because of it.

KatZee- No need to apologize for laughing! I actually put that in to add some humor into it. If I can't cry these ****ty feelings out... might as well try my best to turn them into something positive ;)
