Do you ever feel like you need to cry but can't? Sometimes I get this heaviness in my chest(not pain) when I want/need to cry but it won't come out. I'm not very patient and I try to force it out which seems to make the tears retreat. I also have a hard time letting those tears out in front of others, even though I am comfortable with them. I learned every trick in the book to suck those tears back if I felt they were close, now I'm trying to reverse that damage. I heard "suck it up" or "get over it" for so many years growing up.

 

I know this sounds weird but someone please help me cry.

She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
