I can't believe it. I actually shed some tears tonight. Something I have not been able to do for years, literally! Just moments after shedding those tears I started feeling better, less depression, less anxiety. My mind just cleared up. I know this may sound crazy but there must be some kind of natural healing in crying. Who would have thought, gaining happiness through tears. The reason why I am so excited is because, as I've said, I haven't been able to shed tears in YEARS. I literally thought I lost touch with being human. So don't give up, and think that you have become too detached from your true self to express emotion whether it be by tears or laughter. We are going to have the final laugh.

Glad you were able to find some relief, Quietguy.

There is beauty at the heart of sadness. At the times of my greatest despair, I become more aware of the beauty of the natural world around me.

Glad you feel better.

But I have no idea what the title of the thread has to do with the contents.

I feel much better after crying, which helps release pent up emotions. Some say women outlive men (in general) because crying comes easier for women.

It came somewhat naturally, but my mind was trying to prevent it at the same time, because for some reason it's like my mind won't let me cry. I was only able to push out a few tears, but it was enough to clear my mind and bring joy and happiness to my soul. Needless to say, it felt good!

dallasthekid, don't feel discouraged or believe you have no emotions left to release. You are a person, and as a person you have human emotions. They like mine might be harder to release, but they are there, and you will get your opportunity to release them whether it be by tears, laughter, or just a strong feeling of happiness in general. :)

This is so true.

I am not sure whether you the title of this thread is meant literally or figuratively. If the former, then you are right.

I've come close these past few years but never fully cried like that. I must be clogged. There was this one time last year when a single tear dropped from my eye as I looked in the mirror. Can't even give you an answer on that one.

I was only able to get a few tears out. It was hard to actually just let the emotions take over and cry. Although I felt like having a good cry, I was satisfied just with the amount of tears I was able to shed. I think the key is to not over think things. Just let it happen naturally when you feel the need to cry. I tend to tell myself, "I want to cry, but I can't. The tears won't come out." Once you convince your mind of that it's impossible to just cry naturally. Just let it happen. And like I said before, I really needed to push these tears out. It wasn't easy.
