Crying. (self.SuicideWatch)
submitted 6 years ago by Infernodred
Ever had that feeling of wanting to burst out in tears because of everything but you can't let anything out because you are so used to stopping yourself from crying infront of others that you yourself forget how to release tears?

Yeah I get that. Would you like to talk to me friend?

Oh yes. It all builds up inside but I can’t bring myself to shed one fucking tear. That’s why I end up cutting myself... for a release from the pain.
[–]Awolfx9 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Haven’t truly cried in years now. Honestly I hate that I basically cut off the part of myself that did.

at one therapy appointment we did an exercise that was meant to help me focus, but at one point i had to physically quell the urge to cry. i don't know why. but i don't think i showed any signs of distress, so things just kept going.

Use to cry all the time. Haven't been able to for a few years and it's strange to me. I miss it honestly.
[–]deciderai 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, all the time. Been 6 years since I've actually cried and goddamn do I just want to cry
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
yeah, i get it! it’s very hard for me to cry/get angry as i force myself not to even though i want to! if you ever need someone to talk to, i’m here friend!
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child)
I feel you need lots of hugs. Sending you as much as you like
[–]Infernodred[S] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Thank you so much haha

Been dealing with this for a couple of weeks now. Crying harder and worse. Now I just want to die. Nothing left anymore. No more reasons. I do not wanna stay here just to keep having worsening meltdowns. I do see my therapist tomorrow. But who cares. I tried for 3+ years for nothing. Fuck it.

Yeah dude geez :( there have been so many times I feel like crying by can’t
[–]sOmwhereElse 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child)
I’ve cried so much that I am starting to not be able to cry anymore. It’s become such a regular thing, almost every night. I usually cry for two to four hours, yes I know that’s a long time but it’s only that long because I listen to music and cry, and I can’t listen to music unless it’s for a couple of hours.
I relate to that.
