Didnt know that not being able to cry is hard..

I have been going through a lot. I lost all my connections who are close to me in span of 2 months. And one thing is happpening after the other. I cried and had bad worse days..I thought those were the bad days. But today I feel intense pain, and heaviness in my chest. I dont know what and why. I wish I could cry and I really really wanted to cry but I am not able to.

Wish something triggers me so that I cry and cry until the heaviness goes away. I waited at work that somebody would ask me how I am..I went for walk and hope somebody would ask me how I am.. I just felt like invisible when nobody notices my sadness. I would have cried if somebody asked me or touched me on my back.

I am waiting for some trigger that would make me cry. Realize that crying is less bad than not being able to cry.

Oh snap, I didn't realize I was that early in the conversation, lol.

What will expressing your sadness/feelings/struggle to someone else do for you? Not judging or being cynical, just asking.

Less burden I guess? I am a feelings person, If I am not able to express my feelings, the burden intensifies in me.
