Hi anxietybucket,
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling that way. I felt the same not long ago. I hadn't been able to cry for ages, and had developed a very dark and negative outlook (well that negativity was always there and is something I have recognised and am trying to work on...). I was able to break through though and finally release the tears.
It is a matter of the heart. If your heart is darkened it becomes hard and you cannot express those feelings that you are suppressing. I was able to release it when there was a chink that opened up, just a crack, with the help of the kind words of a friend. I am still working on it, but that trigger helped me. Is there someone you could speak to?
When I finally cry after a long time of darkness, I can feel the heaviness of my heart and though it hurts, there is a relief that comes with the release. What lifts your heart?
