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 ?

It can be helpful to find a person or therapist you trust and feel safe with in order to explore a memory or current situation that may induce tears. Exploring the in a safe environment may enable any emotional blocks to be released.

Yeah, it's called sadness, it's called emotion, it's called implication in whatever can cause you to cry. Did the world shaped you this unexpressive? Mind you, "unexpressive" doesn't mean "unfeeling". You still feel. After all, you feel sadness; but something stops you to manifest it. Sometimes, going against that rule that stops you from being yourself is the method to break the dams of your tears.

Different ways: Way1: Put a soft heart touching music. Take out a blank paper. Start writing down the issues and concerns one by one. Write down the emotions. If you feel like shouting.... express it with words If you feel like asking sorry.... write sorry any number of times.... This will make you break down and express all the emotion. Way2: Watch the movie scene that depicts the situation you are into. Play the movie with you as one of the character. At the places where the character has emotional scenes, also break down with emotion and express your self. This is more useful when you are able to relate yourself or your situation to a movie and get along with it.

Think of your emotions. Think of all the hurt that’s been done to you (If any.) This will make you sad. Think of things that have been done to others. (If any) think of your grief.

Be gentle with yourself in the process. I know sometimes when we want to feel an emotion or cry and can't that it can be frustrating. Try to be gentle and understanding with yourself. Also, remember that you deserve to have healing tears and work through emotions. Remember that you deserve to feel emotions and that healing tears will come. Sometimes it is a process to get there. Sometimes we have to allow ourselves to be more vulnerable or get to a stage that our bodies feel like tears can happen.

First of all, crying is normal, and it can also help relieve stress. Some good ways to help release these pent up emotions would be to listen to a sad song or try talking about your feelings, sometimes this can help them come to the surface if they are buried deep down and need to be let out.

I am not sure there is one method that works for everyone , I can only answer for myself. I can look at my families pictures that have passed away or a memory that I can think of or sometimes it just happens. You can share with someone how you are feeling and you can also give yourself permission to cry so many believe its not okay to cry.

express your feelings . If you can not cry then you have become a stronger person . Think or talk about something that you are very sensitive about or something that bugs you .

Rather than making yourself cry perhaps find more constructive ways of letting it out such as through painting or expressing yourself through music. Eventually it'll work its way out.

I personally experience the exact same thing. I force myself to yawn to let the tears out, but the rest is just emotional. You can cry internally without crying externally. Just allow your emotions to release. That is the best thing that you can do. Push it out of you, yell, or run, or sing, anything to release the tension. Do this, like I do on a regular basis, and it should help a lot with the emotional overwhelming. If you do not release this stress, it can build up and cause many psycho and physiological symptoms, like blood pressure and depression
