A Distant Inner Sadness

Feeling like you want to cry, but you can't. It feels like there is a deep, distant sadness somewhere inside that rises to the surface in glimpses. And that's exactly what it is. A reservoir of repressed feelings of abandonment, neglect, hopelessness, despair, or frustration, enters our conscious minds in small amounts.

It is like the inner child, who is holding onto old pain, rises to the surface. We might think "what's going on with me?" "am I numb?" "I want to cry, but I can't". It can be a confusing experience. I go into detail in this video.

It all started when i was a kid, i was a very emotional guy .I used to cry even in a small stuff like i felt i was weak when i used to get bullied or get afraid and cry a lot but as growing up i felt that crying has been hard now after not trying to cry so much no i feel like i cannot cry at all, i want to take that hard times out of my mind and heart but i just could not cry, i say to the people who can cry don't feel weak its your power to let go of things and be free by crying it helps you mentally and physically in long run, don't suppress the emotions in and cry it helps, now i feel that crying is as good as smiling and i value both as good as another,

I lost my best friend to suicide 2 weeks ago today. I just feel so numb and flat, it's like I can't tip myself over the edge to let it all out.

I’ve been bottling up emotions for 6-7 years I’m pretty sure and just now realized I can’t cry when I feel I should or it’s in a moment but again nothing and no matter how comfortable I am and what I’m doing I haven’t been able to cry but thanks for the help!!

[LuffyBloxfruits]

Thank you. I never had any crazy time in my life where something very sad happend like a death of a relative and i somehow can't cry, i mean like i never got a trauma orso and like i guess there has to be a other

[jigyasha]

I was searching for something to make me cry, because I felt like crying but I couldn't, I hope this video works for me.

[No_Namee]

I have no friends, there is no one who can listen to me or think about me. I have a family but I can't express my feelings towards them. I am working and trying to keep myself happy. In the end this is God given life I have to fulfill it somehow.😢

Thank you david. I just went upt from bed sitting down with the feelings. I experienced it in the last times exactly the way you talked about. It is childhood pain and I resonate with the feeling of wanting to cry. You helped me now again with the reminder that nothing is wrong here. Being just present with the feeling and allow us to feel as full as we can is the most important thing I think.Thank you David for a perfect reminder and I wish you all the best, if you want tell me/us a little bit more of your story, ..

[bhanuteja]

Wow, that totally makes sense! thanks for explaining that. Although I wish there's a name for it!

On October 16, 2023, I lost my grandpa. Always, when I wanted to cry, I was somewhere where were people, so I was always pushing all the tears down. When I sometimes want to cry, I'm still pushing down when I'm somewhere where are people, but sometimes I try to cry in my bed when I'm falling asleep (but I'm trying it quietly, cause I have a room with my brother and I really don't want anyone to know about me crying), but I somehow never can cry and I don't know why. I actually sometimes already stopped trying to cry, cause I already know that I won't be able to cry

May he overcome his fear and his anger and let me in.
May he reach out to me, very very very soon!
May he recognize how amazing our friendship really truly is 🙏🏻.
May he understand and realize how much he loves me
and cares about me and misses me. Misses us.

Im still in highschool and not to sound corny but I've been feeling numb for almost a year now I have so much to be happy for and I'm just not happy and no matter how sad I get i just can't cry...

[Sadie_S]

This is something that I've been trying to understand about myself for a very long time. I have alot of different traumas from childhood and I have a veey damaged inner child. I feel like I can't cry over anything. Even when im in a situation where it's normal for someone to cry or become upset, i just physically cannot cry. It really bother me often times and i wish that i could just fully release all of my emotions.
