When I was in middle school I cried every night alone in bed as an emotional release. Things turned around in high school I was okay for a few years. I noticed when I was 18, I no longer had the ability to cry when I wanted to about whatever I was going through. I’d feel sad and want to cry (usually when I’m alone) but no tears would come. And suddenly I’d be in the car with friends, making food in the kitchen, and think of or get reminded of things weighing on me for a split second, and just lose it. What has caused this? Why can’t I cry when I want and feel the need to anymore? It’s been so frustrating that I want to cry over the fact that I can’t cry but I can’t!
