LostGirl11 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 For some reason I can't cry when I'm alone. For some reason the tears come when I'm with others. But here, alone, when I could howel, beat my pillows, scream; now, somehow, I'm unable to.
iouaname Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Same! I get the same way. When I'm by myself I don't feel the urge to cry, but when I'm talking about it or in the presence of other people I feel like I'm fighting back tears Unfortunately it seems like there's no solutions, really. We just have to get through it...
geegirl Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 My gf is the same way. She couldn't cry at all. But she felt the weight within. I told her to watch a really sad movie and she sobbed through the whole thing. The next morning she said she felt better letting it all out.
Author LostGirl11 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 I've tried listening to songs that would normally make me cry but there's nothing! Just the horrible weight in my chest and ache in my throat. But if I'm out or with people and heard those songs I'd cry really hard!

She watched The Notebook and Bridges of Madison County. It helped her cry and get that ache and tension out of her chest.
Author LostGirl11 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 I dont really watch tv or movies very often but will give it a go. I've never been a big drinker but all I want to do is drink. I got drunk a couple of weeks ago and cried loads but at the same time felt numb and liked it. I know I shouldn't turn to drink but I can understand why people do.

A healthy bout of cleansing. You'll feel a little better and as if a weight has been lifted. None of that alcohol numbing, depressive crying. Even when you are done crying you feel like crap because alcohol is a depressant.
Feelin Frisky Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Alcohol. I've had some woe is me jags crying out loud when polluted.
Author LostGirl11 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 It was strange, I normally take ages to even finish one glass but I was gulping away! Seemed more appealing. Finished off a whole bottle. I won't turn to drink though. 1

I won't turn to drink though. It was not a serious suggestion. Alcohol is bad. But I can say that I did have some serious emotional outbursts alone while intoxicated over relationships. I rarely drink anymore. It's a dead end.

Sorry, I didn't understand your first post.
coltsfan1 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I had the same issue in the past, I would break down amongst friends. It was a temporary issue, as I began to develop more control over my emotions it went away. I had to just work through it, it was embarrassing to be honest though. I can't tell you why I couldn't cry alone, the only conclusion I have came to is when I would talk about it the emotions would just pour out.

But here, alone, when I could howel, beat my pillows, scream; now, somehow, I'm unable to. Umm....that is a good thing. I wish I had that problem!!!! Anyway, Maybe its fear. You feel you might lose control and never stop crying.
FailedFirstLove Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I have the opposite problem! I cannot STOP CRYING! it's killing me. Fighting back all the years. Not only when I'm alone but around others. I just want to cry but I'm so over it. It's draining! I get so tired
Inviv_girl Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Im an emotional person. After my break up, anything popped on TV makes me cry.. sad music, sad story, etc... and Im sick of romantic movies-cant deal with it right now! talking to people about ex- will just make my tears run off automatically.. even writing things about him on the forum. This is really hurt! I listen to trance music without lyric helped me to stop crying for a moment but then I will cry again for now reason .. just remember him! Maybe I'm crazy! 1

I've avoided songs and movies with romantic themes. Up till now. In the beginning everything made me cry. Sad or beautiful things. Now I find seeing beautiful things makes me smile. My heart smiles. It's a wonderful feeling. You're not crazy you just need time. I'd suggest that you keep yourself away from anything that will trigger your emotions in negative ways. I do cry once a while but I'm happy most of the time.
Leigh 87 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I have cried so much in the past, that I run out of tears: I feel the emotions but I am de sensitized to tears.
mano Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 same here, when i am around friends i feel like crying n i try really hard to supress my emotions n act normal, n always pre occupied, but when i am alone that feeling goes away , crying is just so draining, seriously my health again is becoming a mess again n its soo hard to focus on my studies
Author LostGirl11 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 I have cried so much in the past, that I run out of tears: I feel the emotions but I am de sensitized to tears. Maybe this is what's happening to me. I feel the emotions constantly but the tears won't full. I've cried many tears over him. Though as soon as I'm around people it's like I can't control myself.
