I want to cry

What can happen to a person when they hold back? I don't think these pent up feelings and emotions dissipate. I think they get compressed over and over until you can't and you won't and you want to let it out! I've felt this more than once and letting it out is such a good feeling! Take care Swtrose.

although I'm a male (can't really cry as much as I want...) Sometimes I just feel like letting it go, anyway, I hear you.

I understand what you mean. I don't understand however, why they do it. Thats how I felt when you continuously attacked my parenting. Attacking a mothers parenting skills, or talking about their children are the two weakest points. Those are the things that hurt a mother the most! I dont hold it against you, I just wanted to let you know. When I feel that way, I lock myself in the bathroom, sit down, and I DO have a good cry, and then, afterwards, I feel a little better! Just keep your head up, things always get greater later!

Yes, my friend.....I understand....very well.... Your strength and convictions, intelligence and burdens, beauty and writing skills....are all topics for which I have seen you personally attacked.....unfairly I might add... MyLot is a community of people from all over the world...we have so many differences.....BUT the one thing that we all share in common...is human feelings.....fellings that can be damaged with words...becaue they can often hurt.....AND when these words are put out there strictly with the primary purpose of HURTING...it is worse... I believe that words are supposed to be used to express our feelings... to teach each other about ourselves or our lives or experiences....to debate the issues that are dear to our heart with the mutual respect for others of differing opinions.... Never are words supposed to be thrown at someone to harm them, to make them feel bad about themselves, to intimidate or cause fear.... This is how I feel about it, my friend.... Please do not allow these people to absorb so much of your energy...it is wasted there....these are not the people that you are meant to help.....and they are sure not trying to help you.... You are my friend....I take that seriously....I would defend your honor as I know you would mine.... Clear your head and your heart of all of this ugliness....find that strength we both know is there...hold your head high....you are loved & respected by many....do not allow a few to cause you so much pain....you have a support system here...all is well!!!

why? if that makes your heart easy then cry.. i often do this too...

Honestly, I also feel the same thing.. I just want to break down and cry for billion of reasons but I end up standing still for this "statement".. "Keep this in mind, if people are trying to pull you down, it only means your above them and their so pathetic that they can't do anything good but to mess other people's lives."

I totally get what you are saying. I have always been strong and never showed fear or that my feeling have been hurt. I grew up with alot of responsibilites because my mother was ill and it made me to be a person that could hold it all in and keep going about my day. Now with that being said, I have a good cry every now and again and boy does it feel good, ok so what if it does not solve anything but it will at least let you get out a little anguish. Go ahead and cry girl.

Sometimes one just has to get out and scream their troubles away. It works for some. Sometimes I go to the river and scream as loud as I can and it eases the tension etc. I just scream and cry letting it all out. Don't know what else to say really. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I do understand.I too am also pushed emotionally to the point of breaking at times & I do thank God I am a woman and can cry at times.But I also have learned to not reveal to too many people what makes me break or what hurts me...that way certain people do not know where to hit when they want to hurt me emotionally.I have become a little too gaurded in some ways I guess,but have found it is better for me than wearing my heart on my sleeve.

It is the feeling of being overwhelmed with problems and not finding a solution to all problems. We have to learn that some problems we cannot fix and only time will fix them. Sometimes we have to accept situations that we cannot change as well as accept that some people are just mean or insensitive. Have a good day and remember after the storm calm will prevail.

some times can be a very good think .....when there is a burden if sorrow or frustration in your mind crying can bring down the burden.....beleive me crying is not a wrong thing or a sign of weakness.....i have faced many things which were frustrating but when i felt like it has become a burden i cried and let it go

Dont cry, that would make them happy. Just consider the source. They have no life and have nothing better to do then try to get to you.

I am going to give you the same advice a friend of mine gave me just last week. When things are bothering you and you can't take it anymore, go to a place where no one else is an scream. Then beat up on a pillow and get it all out. Sounds stupid I know, but it works. If you are anything like me eventually you will get fed up, and when that happens, people will listen to you. We all have our own problems and stresses and we all wanna cry at times. I have been doing that alot lately. When people see me at my lowest point they try to bring me lower. The only way you can prevent people picking on you and bothering you is to not let them. And after you cuss a few people out, it starts to feel pretty good. People are stupid, they get pleasure out of using peoples weakness against them. Show them you are better than them. Honestly, if you feel this way frequently, talk to someone. A doctor, church friend, some neutral party. Talking always helped me.

I am so sorry to hear that,but take it easy.Sometimes somebody find your weakness and pick it,only because they thought you are happier than them and they envy you.So you should be more happier than before so that let them feel it is a defeat what they have do.

I hope things get less stressful for you soon! But You aren't alone- I feel like this every so often- Things just don't go right- or I get so angry over something and I want to cry- Crying is a great way to relieve stress- Go ahead- whole yourself up in your bedroom and have a good cry! I tell you when things pile up and stress overwhelmes me- I cry! So go ahead- and then also stop dealing with the people here on mylot causing you more stress!

Oh yes. I have been in that spot many, many times before. When I find myself there, I get in the car, drive to my the parking lot of my favorite hiking spot and hike till I find a nice secluded area. I sit down and just let it rip! The hike, being alone with nature, and crying to cleanse my plate seems to help so much. I find that when I go back home, I am a bit refreshed and ready to try to tackle the issues at hand...one small piece at a time! Go for it girl, let it out!

Sometimes you just have to break down and cry, if nothing else for thhe release of tensions, stress and anxiety. Sometimes all you need to do is shed some tears, let them flow freely until you can weep no more. It happens to me all the time, and I always feel stronger and more able to cope with life's slings and arrows after a damned good cry.

I cry sometimes just because I feel like it. I don't know why exactly. Sometimes I am just tired and stressed and feel like crying. There is nothing wrong with crying. It releases stress and it is an emotion. Sometimes I will think of something that really makes me sad and I will cry. Strong people can cry too! It makes you feel better to get it out.

Aw Rose, I know where you are coming from, really I do. This all will pass though and you'll feel better. Thats what I keep telling myself, and it seems to be working ;) I cry alot though, actually and it makes me feel alot better when I do.
