Thank you thank you thank you!

I think I may have to try just letting the tears flow free when I can. I totally understand not being able to cry when I have the time. I have tried to make myself cry (sad thoughts and music) just to get it out and NOTHING!!

I have always had trouble with my feelings. Sometimes I cry a lot, other times I can't cry -- sometimes I just feel dead inside. The problem with mental health disorders is that you can't just switch off what's going on in your head, you still have to deal with life. I have learned to cry when I can, because I never know when I'll be able to do so again. When I'm at work and feeling like I'm going to have a meltdown, I go to the bathroom and let it loose. A couple times a day if it's necessary, no one ever catches on and it really boosts me up for a while. You could try it at home too, especially if you have a bathroom with a lock (to keep the kids out). I think it's always better to let your feelings out instead of repressing them. I hope this helps you and at least let's you know others feel that way too.
