in all seriousness, you hit the nail on the head with your bolded sentence up there. and i’d say the converse is also true:

that crying doesn’t eradicate or heal the feelings.

so don’t believe that myth about the cryers of the world.

in the meantime, i’ll be asking God to loosen the tearducts of your eyes and heart…

For a long time I tried to turn off feelings. I learning to feel again.

That sounds eerily like me. I’ve always said that I don’t cry much because I know that if I start, it’s likely I won’t be able to stop it.

But as soon as I was left at the airport the tears came strong. As we driving away from Deleise’s house I almost couldn’t control the tears either. I can go a long time and not cry and then drive done the road one day and not be able to stop crying.

After our twitter conversation the other day this probably won’t shock you but music can make me cry. Song that I have heard at different times in my life that bring feelings back or just what the song is saying.

But you know what helps the most with crying…..think of this

90% of your tear content is fat. :)

Cry yourself skinny(er) girl.

I’m sending her the link. Thanks for sharing.

They do for me everytime. I might snot dripping, if someone was to walk in and see you they’d think you were unstable, kind of cry fests. ;)

And I’m always amazed at the relief it brings to just have a big cry every now and then. Even if I don’t even know why I’m crying. [i only get away with that because i'm a woman]

I know that’s no advice to help you, as I have no idea what it’s like to not be able to cry easily. Sometimes I wish I did.

Oh my! This is absolutely something I’ve been working on. You see if you don’t cry, your body pays the price. Eventually, you may even lose the ability to feel. You may not be there now, but trust me it can happen.

Why do I know all this? Well I’ve been there, and found my way back. I even hired a spiritual life coach to help me (and for a host of other things).

Yesterday was a crappy day! I cried and cried and cried, which was totally new for me. My pup, Payton who is by baby girl is critically ill. Like you, I actually made the statement that I didn’t want to feel anymore (all the things I’ve been working on and rediscovered). Even so, I knew deep down that God does want us to feel and feel deeply.

So dig down deep. Listen to the Holy Spirit, and stop listening to that part of you that learned not to cry. Tears are therapeutic, designed by God to help clear the negative energy in our bodies.

That advice from someone (many years your senior) who’s been there and fought her way back. I so hope and pray this helps you in some small way!!

Much love,
`cheryl

There are times when I can’t cry at all for months, even years, at a time, typically when things are especially hard. Then other times I cry for all of the wrong reasons. I cry at the little things…a song that had never made me cry before, something someone says, or for no apparent reason. Just last night I went crazy on my mom for no reason, and I just couldn’t hold back the tears. It’s hard for me to predict when I’ll end up crying.

Ya all are making me cry on the crying discussion. I am either laughing or crying over here. Good think Costco sells TP and Kleenex in bulk cuz’ I’m either peeing my pants from laughin’ or wipin’ my eyes from cryin’. Wondering if you might consider a boring post on the wonder of paint drying, or grass growing just for a little break? Perhaps a ditty on the origin of a paperclip, or how they get led in pencils? Just kiddin! I LOVE THE REALNESS over here and if that means I need Depends then so be it.

Love you people,
Roxx
