Try not to spend all your tears in one place.
Once you’re all cried out, and the tears stop coming, but you still don’t feel any better… that’s when you know you’re in trouble.
Or, that’s when you know you don’t have to worry about crying anymore… which i would personally cite as a good thing. Crying is such a messy, embarrassing hassle.
I think people love to tell others that they should do what they can’t.
I think you should allow your body and mind to function as they naturally do, for the most part… but sometimes our physiological functionality changes, for various reasons.
If you “can’t” cry… like you’re sad as hell and hurting, but it just doesn’t happen… then it’s pretty ridiculous for people to say “you should cry.”
That’s about like telling a paraplegic “you should walk.” I’m sure they’re trying, but it just doesn’t happen, because they can’t.
Or like, telling people they “should let it go.” Okay, but… what about if i “let go” (as in, i’m not actively clinging to any part of it), but it just doesn’t go? What if it stays when i don’t want it to?
Why do so many people have such completely irrelevant answers, while believing those answers to be useful in any way? Are their lives so easy that they just never have to think at all? It’s baffling, to say the least.
I can’t tell you how many times i’ve responded with “…what!? …” upon attempting to allow people the chance to understand enough about any of my problems, to enable them to attempt to offer any useful input.
I totally get where you’re coming from. Just today my father made some comment about just “getting over it and i wouldn’t need Drs or meds” i told him that you may as well tell a cancer patient to heal, or a diabetic make the correct amount of insulin. Some ppl just don’t get it.

I no longer cry. Am not able to anymore.
@Clever, they tell me I should, that crying can sometimes bring relief. What do you think?
