I've not been able to cry for a very long time, and I really need to. Is there a method to induce crying and letting it all out ?

I personally have found watching try not to cry videos or writing everything down and reading it out can help. You can listen to sad music also. I find that crying can be a great way to feel better as it balances out the hormones in your brain. You can stimulate tears by cutting unions, but that won't have the same relieving feeling that crying gives you. A lot of times just saying what been going on out loud can both help get it off your chest and possibly make you cry. Whatever you decide, just know that we here on 7cups are here to help you feel better

Sometimes leaving your everyday environment and going to a place where is quiet and relaxing and just stopping and reflecting on life can really trigger your mind. The mind is a powerful place, and we need to learn what is is that stops us from expressing these emotions which are completely natural. I find personally speaking out aloud what I am feeling feels like I am communicating with my mind and it feels like a two way conversation but in reality it's just you. Opening up and exploring your emotions one by one and how you deal with them all differently is a positive and powerful thing to have.

I think you should take that one memory that started making you numb and keep revisiting it, something you have probably buried deep down. This should help you cry. Often something happens and we bury our emotions to protect ourselves and at times that becomes a practice with everything that hurts us and we hide those feelings away as a defense mechanism. Maybe if you revisit that memory that triggered this behavior, you might be able to cry and at times all of it comes out together. I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes for you.

Yes, talk your problems out to someone, someone that you trust, someone that you think will not judge you because you are just a human. Express your feelings about the things that hurt you. Don't avoid being scolded, don't be too careful because that would lead you to become too conscious, enjoy life but don't avoid things that involve hard feelings, face your fears, and problems. On the other hand, don't forget to enjoy your life, be happy, live in freedom, don't suffocate yourself onto something you don't want or you don't like. Be confident and comfortable in anything and everything.

I have actually had this problem, even in the worst emotional states. I have found for me that the best way to get your crying out is to say it all out loud. Whatever is distressing you, say it out loud and hear it. Accept it. If you are able to, find someone to talk to about it in person that will listen. You will soon find yourself hearing your words again, and soon your emotions will become stronger than you can control. When i was broken up with, I could not even cry because i was shaking and anxious. Once i opened up about it to a close person, the tears kept flowing.

Just give yourself some space and spend sometime with yourself,rethink about everything whatever that you think has gone wrong and feel free to express yourself ,don't control your emotions let them free and don't think that you are being judged. I think this will help you to letting it out Everyone has a different way of letting their emotions out but don't pressurize yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself everyone makes mistakes and now or then in everyone's life something goes wrong so please try to understand yourself and spend time with yourself because only you are the master of you

There are many reasons why someone hasn't cried in awhile. It could be related to medication, mental, or physical issues. For me, I didn't cry because I didn't feel safe enough to. I had a lot of brokenness and no one to talk to about it safely. I had to learn to trust someone enough to be non-judgmental, to empathize, and truly listen to my heart. I found a therapist I could vent everything to, and they were able to give me support, empathy, and advice. I found that I was masking my emotions with anger, because it's easier to be angry than to feel strong emotions and pain. But once I was able to let myself feel, I was able to let go of those negative emotions that had a hold on me for a long time. Maybe it will help to find someone you can trust and be vulnerable with? It's hard, but letting yourself feel is the first step of healing.

If you feel like you need to cry, but you cannot, find the reasons why you are not able to. Inducing crying would not be very healthy, crying can come naturally and there is no pressure to cry or not to cry. However, think back, what is the reason that you want to cry. From your question, I can tell that it's a long term problem, do you think your problem can be solved? If you still do really need to cry, think about the things or activities that you do that could make you cry. Remember, always ask for support. We'll be here.

Try listening to songs that are sad yet ones that are of your liking. Try writing as well, that helps a lot in releasing thoughts and getting more in touch with your emotions. Sit with yourself more often and be accept whatever the situation is as you embrace the reality and your feelings. Remember it is okay to not be okay and it is not always simple to express yourself, take your time and try learning more about what is making you feel frozen. The closer you are to tackling the source of your issue, the easier it will be to overcome them.

I’ve been there before, not being able to cry. It’s a painful thing to go through. I never really started crying again until one day I just had a huge mental breakdown, it was terrible but crying felt good. Now whenever I want to cry I just take deep breaths and count slowly backwards from 10. I imagine 10 represents the happiest you can ever be and 1 being the saddest. As I count down I slowly get sadder and sadder until eventually it just comes. It may not work for everyone but it’s worth the try. You can also try by letting yourself feel sad. Let all of those negative thoughts and emotions go through your mind. Once you start crying imagine the tears are all of those negative thoughts and feelings slipping away. You can also do this by breathing, breath in a negative thought and then breath it out, letting that thought go.
