Crying and release

When was the last time you cried? Hot tears, running nose, completely helpless? Just fuckin lost it and let it all out?
This week? Last month? Last year? Can't even remember?
Crying can be really helpful. A release, closure...
I spent a good 4 or 5 years of my life fairly emotionally balanced. I'm not sure if maybe there were some incidents where I kinda blocked myself up, cuz in the past months...look out!
So to answer my own question, the last time I sat down and just let myself cry was about two days ago. I feel tired, yet stronger after I'm all drained out. A fat joint and a good sleep bring on a new day.

Crying's great, it's necessary. I had one in the shower the other day. I've always liked crying in the shower.

See now, I don't think that's healthy. I don't know you, but it just doesn't seem right. Do you need a hug? 
j/k. 
Also, shower crying is awesome. You're all naked and kind of vulnerable in that state...all your tears and pain go washing down the drain to nowhere.

I can't remember really. I've gotten used to just going numb in tough emotional situations. I'm not blocking em out... but just trying to remain in control so things don't fall apart. Everything falls into place from there.
The times I hate are when I feal like crap and don't know why. I usually cure it by doing something I've been putting off... like mowing my yard, cleaning my closet, or washing my car. Sounds silly, but simply attempting and completing a simple task gives me a little boost.

I did probably about a month ago when a girl was really getting to me. I laid and cried for ages, it brought up everything that was wrong in my life. I felt better afterwards !

My last cry was about a year or so ago, after the death of my aunt.

In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

I almost cried the past two days in a row whilst reading "Into the Wild". I almost cried at Bonnaroo during my first LSD experience. But I haven't physcially been able to cry for the last 8-10 years of my life; I can begin to tear up, and then, without force, it stops. But after reading in "Into the Wild", I think when my brother/grandparents die, it'll happen...a lot.

It's been awhile since I cried really thoroughly. I agree, though. Crying is one of the best releases that one can have. You do feel drained, but it really helps, if you can get alone and lance that wound and drain he poison.
I hope your days are brighter and better for you, today, tomorrow, and progressively get better.

That's probably a safe assumption to make after 8 years of not really feeling any cry-worthy pains.

Sometimes I feel like I'm afraid to cry. Not really fear, more like personal shame, or embarrassment. Even when I'm completely alone I don't like to go to that state. Once I'm in it, it's hard to leave.
Crying is such a touchy subject for me. I know it's release, but I get vivid mental imagery and emotional pain that crying seems to under-rate. It feels more like I should explode than shed some tears.

I really liked that one, too. Very fitting.

I'm glad to see that you're reinstated, too! You're way too young to retire!

I agree actually, I can't even cry when I know I'm supposed to.
