I guess my emotions have gotten down-regulated from constant turmoil. My eyes start to well up when I see innocent children with their parents, or when I hear a certain song after a long time. Alcohol can also bring it out, but only if I'm away from everyone else. I actually break down hysterically when something kinda good happens, because that is a rarity. I've never shed a tear in front of anyone but my parents, and that was a long time ago.

I'm getting toward the end of my first year in college and it just feel like high school all over again minus the bullying, but the loneliness is still there.

I don't keep alcohol in the house no longer. Not cos I have a problem with it just if its in and am feeling bard or lonely I drink and it never makes me feel better. I always end up getting depressed. So know I don't keep it in.
Last night I really felt like a beer. Am glad I did not have any in cos I would have gone from happy to sad in 30 minutes flat. cert take the beer you see. Am a lightweight.

Ya, don't put yourself down for crying. My father used to hit himself when he wanted to cry and he is soooo screwed up now it's not even funny. Guys cry, it's just who is going to go telling people about it? If you try to not cry it may come out as anger instead or something else bad and you will end up worse off.

I've been in my terrible situations since the age of 14 and have seen no improvements, so you just kind of get used to it, until it all just builds up to a breaking point. Being a woman we are already labeled as being 'overly emotional', but I don't cry over the small stuff (unless I'm having a really bad day). I get tired of being labeled a baby, simply because I get so depressed I have no other outlet than to cry. (God forbid I should ever come to the point of actually committing suicide).
On other posts It was mentioned quite frequently that some can't cry even though they wanted to. There was an article about people who have underproductive tear ducts. They simply don't produce enough tears to cry. It might be worth looking into at least. Especially if you get frequent dry eyes.
I also know from experience about some who use anger as their outlet instead of tears or emotion. He will never seek out help for it, because to him it isn't macho. I would rather he cried than get angry, but he never will, because his anger blinds him. Seek help if you have this problem or at least try to find a solution. It doesn't just hurt you, but the ppl you love too.
