Does anyone else have a problem producing tears when they cry? I get sad, go through all the emotions, but never produce any tears. I have felt like bawling for the past three days, no apperant reason why, but cannot find a single tear. My eyes are so redit almost shows through my eyeshadow. I just want to CRY, but cann't. Any suggestions?

DARLIN. IT TAKES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION TO ACTUALLY CRY. YOU MUST ACTUALLY BE TOTALLY ENVELOPED BY THE SORROW TO DO IT. I HAVE FOUND, THAT IF MY MIND CAN WONDER TO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, I CAN'T MUSTER TEARS. THIS ONLY MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT TOTALLY SUBMERGED IN YOUR SORROW...THIS IS A GOOD THING!!

Maybe so, but after three days, I am so tired of red eyes. I know that I am not fully submerged into my sorrow, I don't even know why I feel this way. I cann't sleep, and I am starting to get a headache. In other words, I feel like crap and don't know why.

Hi Bunny, I am sorry you are having such a difficult time! I don't have a problem crying, it flows like a river. Sometimes I can't stop.

Have you tried those eye drops? They can produce fake tears and help with the redness. Have you had any illnesses lately? They may be plugged up and not able to produce tears. Any new meds. or anything like that?

Has this happened before? I'd call your doctor and see if they could help.

Sorry, I got carried away with questions and didn't have much to offer for answers. I can give you a caring heart and open ears. If there is anything else I can do, let me know......Your Friend, Chris

I hope you feel better soon!

Your Friend, Chris

Bunny I used to have this problem, I'd get all choked up but nothing would come out. The counselor said something about my emotions be disenaged, I learned to numb my feelings to hid things and then when I didn't need to do it anymore I didn't know how to let it out. You have to learn to reconnect with your feelings and let them come out. I cry now, not at sad movies and such, but when I am sad or remember something painful. At first I would sob but now I can remember and just tear.

Since you don't know what you are sad about maybe it is something your subconcious is holding on to. This stuff comes out in little bits as you can handle it. Or as Chris suggested maybe it is something medical.

Sorry your suffering, I know how it is to not be able to cry.

I doubt it is a medical problem. I have never really been able to cry. My husband thinks I am playing games because of it. I don't cry at weddings, funnerals, not even when I would watch those mushy things while I was pregnant with my children.

Your probably right Lilbit, I probably have disconnected to it. I just wish it wouldreconnect itself. I feel that crying it out will be the only way to relieve this feeling. although something hit me last night. It kinda feels like when I was little and refused to "give" them the satisfaction of seeing me respond. So for now just trying to comfort the "little ones". Letting them know they are O.K. now.

lol Gloria - literately and figeratively

You probably hit the nail on the head bunny, - "not wanting to give them the satisfaction..." It's hard to fight our built up ways of coping / surviving. Doesn't help when someone says your faking, because really your not. Gloria is right though the mediphor of peeling an onion is getting down to the deeper feelings. Let go enough and you will cry. I'll tell you it's embarassing at first, but I had to finally realize that it was better for me to reconnect with my feelings. Not that I am an emotional person, but I'm not so rational and unfeeling. You'll get there. Sometimes it was easier for me to read someone elses story and remember that I felt the same way at that time and then tell myself I was feeling ...angry, sad, guilty whatever.
