wish I could cry....

[sad sack]

anyone else just feel like a good cry sometimes...

I haven't cried for years... in fact I can't remember the last time I actually did... I just feel like it sometimes...for some reason I think it would help 'clear the air' or something equally daft...

my eyes do well up at films sometimes... but no real tears...

none... no joy, pain... nothing....

I have days when i want  to cry but can't and others when i can't stop.

I have to admit I cry at the drop of a hat, always been the same.  I think crying helps.

lol...

but you need to remember, well you probably don't know, I forgot I was new around here...

I am a male, from Glasgow in Scotland.... we are not allowed to cry...  people get hurt for that kind of thing growing up around here!!! lol

we get pre programmed to be 'hard' and not to show any emotion... I'm guessing now it works!!!  £*$

I get that, i have some big glaswegian cousins (my mums actually). I can understand the accent up to a point, 3am on new years eve/day is where I lose it

 Been to the Gorbals a few times as well.

OMG sorry forgot you were a guy  .  Everyone should cry when they need to.  Its sad that men are not supposed to cry.

no one ever needs to go to the gorbals buttercup!!!! lol :-p

yeah it's strange Shaz... just not the done thing for a male eh....

don't get me wrong, I don't want to burst into tears when I stub my toe or anything... but a good proper cry now and again must be good for you... eh!?!?!?!?

[Buttercup]

I think its really sad that boys are brought up not to cry, a good cry when I'm feeling really down does make me feel better, sort of releases a tension.

Lol, it was the high rise tower blocks as well, that dates it a bit  Think I had my first taste of Iron Bru there and Square sausage.  (Couldn't get either in Devon at the time)

[Sweetpea]

Its silly really we are all human and have feelings - whether they be good or bad feelings.  We all should be able to feel free to cry.

[Buttercup]

Agree with you there Shaz

[sad sack]

lol IRN BRU and Lorne sausage!!

I agree about the crying... just don't know why I can't... maybe some block emotionally somewhere or something...

odd...

[Buttercup]

Lol just realised the spelling mistake, changed it to square.    My mum would shoot me, she's Glaswegian

I think if you're told that something isn't the done thing on a frequent basis it becomes ingrained into your psyche and therefore a block, stiff upper lip and all that. I also wonder if depression can make some people numb that sense.

I found sertraline prevented me from crying. I still felt sad but I couldn't quite FEEL it if that makes sense.

hi sad sack
personally i find sometimes i get overwhelmed and i'm in floods of tears i don't think it's a bad thing anymore but before i entered therapy i was emotionally dead and thats because i was brought up not to show emotions and it certainly has had a long term effect on me however eventhough sometimes it's a little hard to control i'm getting there and i do feel sometimes that a weight has been lifted (to coin a cliche)
