I can't cry but need to. Why?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Hey, it's okay. I want you to think to yourself why exactly crying helps you. Is it the tears that make you feel better? Because then you should do something like sniff onions to make your eyes water. Is it the sobbing motions? It's possible to sob even without tears. You should watch something like a really sad movie. Honey, I think the biggest problems is you're trying too hard. Not crying won't hurt you in any way,and you can't force yourself to. Acknowledge that not crying isn't your real problem. Think of what is, and try to fix it. Then you can be glad that you don't even need to cry anymore!

Personal experience

Crying doesn't help your body in any way, nothing bad will happen if you don't. I haven't cried in years and I am fine. You don't need to be emotional all the time. It sounds like you are too stressed and paranoid and that is making everything worse. You just need to take a breath and relax. Go sit outside or do something relaxing for a bit, see if that makes you feel better.

Maybe not trying so hard will help.
