OK, big meany American Sick Nightmares needs a good cry. It's been a really tough fucking week, what with my wife being gone, and just a bunch of stress, my back fucking hurts BAD, I have an entire house to pack, all alone in a strange state, with no friends closer than 11 hours away, and well, I'd like to cry.
Problem is, I just can't. Not that I think it makes me any less of a man, or anything like that. I JUST CAN'T! I feel all the emotion, but it just isn't translating to tears, and it feels like a vile buildup of proteins in my body that I need to get rid of.

I'm drunk as hell, I've been listening to sad songs, and thinking of my dead father and my wife 900 miles away. But it ain't workin!

Any suggestions? :headbang:

my apologies, and my feeble try to comfort.

and then, my suggestion. try shouting first. hard and uncontrolled. maybe crying is to follow easier, then. if not, it might still help.

I cant cry either man, strange I guess.

Try self pitty or thinking about some bad memory and then pepper your eyes. Might start something.

Try surfing the web for infor on how actors cry on demand.

Sorry man I cant help you out.

Did that. Ended up punching my toolbox, and cutting my knuckle. Almost worked, but not quite. Thanks for the comfort though, wasn't feeble at all! ;)

I already know that one. Vote for Bush! :D

hammer + nail + penis = cry

hammer + nail + penis = cry
You have no idea how much I hate you right now. :headbang:

hammer + nail + penis = cry

Nonono an easier way is foot + groin = cry and hilarious when taped. Hope this helps.

Ouch... :eek:

Think of the pride i get whenever 2NZEF is mentioned or Freyberg or Kip or Upham or my Grandfathers or New Zealands Olympic success'.

Cry for pride.

You have no idea how much I hate you right now. :headbang:

Well, you wanted advice. I could demean the shit out of you if you prefer.

Easy, either try snorting something rough and grainy like salt up you nose, rub onion juice in your eyes or try plucking a nose hair - pubic hair might also help depending how sensitive you are.

Find someone who's willing to listen, even if only briefly, and tell them about it - spill it all the them. I find that when I talk about it (especially to someone else) I can't hold back the tears (if it's a crying situation that is obviously). It's probably because when it's just you you can bottle up your emotions and not let on, but when there's someone else that you're telling it all to it becomes a lot harder to cry.

If you can't cry, then you obviously aren't sad enough.

That being said, how about a really sad movie? Like Bambi.

watch a sad movie that equates to your current situation. ok it'll take a couple of hours but if you get a bit more drunk and really get empathising with the characters in the movie, you should be all teary in no time.
i can't think of any specific movies for that exact purpose, but Gandhi and The Last Samurai always make me blub.

other than that, maybe look at some pictures of the thing(s) you miss (like your wife...)


i feel odd trying to make sombody cry :confused:

There IS a way! You have to sit at home with no visitors, and no decorations on Christmas Day wearing a party hat and watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' starring James Stewart. Trust me.

Well, as the song goes "I'll be home for Christmas"

And if I wasn't, I'd be too drunk to function.

But yeah, I can see how that would work.

Where has you wife gone? And why a house to pack?

I get into that 'I need a cry' state too, and if listening to sad music, thinking about dead relatives, or watching sad movies doesn't work........

then I write down every single little thing that is bothering me, it doesn't have to be nice, or gramatically correct, just let everything out, then the tears usually follow quickly, I cry for about 30 min. then I feel all better. ;)

Where has you wife gone? And why a house to pack?
Wife is in basic training for the Air Force, and I'm moving back to PA while she handles her business.

Please Fass, tell me you knew FireAntz was me? I swear to dog I figured everyone figured it out!

Screaming and hurling something breakable against an outside wall can help relieve stress.

The drinking isn't helping, though. It will just make you more depressed

Try thinking about all the people in the world that care about you, even though they are hundreds of miles away. It can take the loneliness out of being alone. In fact, call one or two of your friends/family and tell them you are feeling down and need to remember happier, funnier times. Chances are, they will have you laughing in no time.

Laughter is a great release. Laughing sometimes is what we do when it's too sad to cry.

If all that fails, create a nation with a nuclear theme and wander around NS dropping bombs. Never fails to lift me out of the blue funk. :D

Try viewing movies or looking at pictures of people crying.

Why would you want to cry? The only time I cry is when I think about my dead bros. When I go to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, I bawl like a baby. Other than that, I hardly ever cry, and honestly see no need to do so. :)

Besides, you have all of us here. Why would you wanna cry knowing that?? :D

Does that mean he won't be coming back? That makes me want to cry. He was actually an important part of the spectrum. Much more so than you.:(

Sick Nightmares: if you can't cry, you can't cry.
And why do you feel like you have to? Yes, your wife is away, you are in a strange place, and you have been thinking of dead relatives - and if that doesn't make you cry, you're not going to.
Don't worry about it - it doesn't mean that you're emotionless. It simply means that you don't express sadness by crying.

And whilst it isn't my place to say, getting rat-arsed isn't a great idea. It just makes you feel worse: not only about your situation, but something in the alcohol makes you hate yourself as well. GO AND SOBER UP!!!

And yes, it is sad that you are alone right now, but think of when you are back where you know things, with your wife - think of how brilliant it will be to be back there and with her. (:fluffle:)

ok this is kinda girly but youre alone in the house so no one will ever know

you lock yourself in the bathroom for an hour or so. run a good hot bath. do a bunch of personal grooming stuff. trim your nose hair, pluck your unibrow, whatever. get one of those odd facial masks that women use to keep their skin nice (you can get them anywhere, walmart, walgreens, target, just not the convenience store, if you are worried that the clerk will think its for you, grab some tampons to go with) if you have some cucumbers, cut some rounds to put on your eyes.

bring in some music, something soft and soothing. not too loud, just enough to put you in a more relaxed mood.

soak in the tub for at least half an hour, keeping the water nice and hot. have the facial on plus the cuke rounds on your eyes and just lie back and relax

once your tension level reduces a bit it might bring you to a level where you can fully access your emotions and have a good cry. and if not. youll at least feel much better than you did when you went in.

Why do you have to cry? Why don't you releive your emotions by attacking a punch bag or something?

I REALLY appreciate your concern! You make me happy! :D

Don't worry though, it's not a mental anguish thing. I'm not highly depressed or anything. I'm actually pretty happy, but I just have this feeling in my chest like I want to cry, and when I looked it up, it said tears release protein buildups that are caused by stress.

I'm not REALLY sad, I just feel like a good cry would make me feel better, is all. But thank you SO much for your kind words, actually, I think they worked!






Yep, they worked! Between you and Eut, I just had a good cry, which I'm not quite done with. But I'm already feeling better!

LOVE YOU GUYS!

So Sick Nightmares just got put down as not as important as himself.
Odd.

Anyway, I suggest that you pepper spray yourself if you really need to cry. That stuff fucking burns, and maybe you just need a chemical cue to get the ball rolling.

To be fair, Fris, I don't think it was that he didn't grasp the concept, it was that he honestly didn't know the rule. I know that ignorance of the law is no excuse, but in his defense, he did voluntarily leave after the rule was shown to him. I'm not sure that this makes a difference, but just thought that it should be pointed out. I guess he'll file his own appeal in Moderation in a week if it's that important to him.

How does one evade an IP ban, anyway? Surely only one IP is meant to be banned, therefore you wouldn't be doing anything wrong by going on it from a different IP?

I think going to a different IP would constitute evasion. The spirit of the rule is to ban the user, not the IP.

OK, big meany American Sick Nightmares needs a good cry. It's been a really tough fucking week, what with my wife being gone, and just a bunch of stress, my back fucking hurts BAD, I have an entire house to pack, all alone in a strange state, with no friends closer than 11 hours away, and well, I'd like to cry.

Any suggestions? :headbang:

anticipation heightens pleasure. therefore, your wife and such being gone will make seeing them again just that much better.

For a good cry, I suggest watcing a sad movie like Donnie Darko, American Beauty, We Were Soldiers...etc. Or, as Smunkee said, just write. I suggest writing for 30 mins to an hour. don't let the pen stop moving...if you run out of things to write, just write "i don't know". eventually you will start to write things you didn't even know you were feeling and thinking. Quite good therapy.

I hope you are feeling better and that things get better for you. :fluffle:

Oh, and I guess see you in a few days going by the recent posts.

If you can't cry, then you obviously aren't sad enough.

That being said, how about a really sad movie? Like Bambi.
But Bambi was a comedy.
Bambi meets Godzirra (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6300229386/002-5720867-8122432?v=glance)

Talk to God. :)

God will make you cry... or keep you from doing so. Whatever He sees best in His will.

And I agree with one of the first posters recommending shouting and yelling. Part of the process is anger - as soon as you get through anger, things get alot easier. It's worked through the many losses I've suffered.

Place Where We Belong Lyrics

I'm just a wandering gypsy
I'll sing for you tonight
And when the seats are empty
I'll turn and walk into my spotlight
And i'll be in the place where i belong


For who will tell the story
Except someone like me
Of tragedy and glory
Of lovers as they walk so blindly
And try to find a place where they belong
We all must find a place where we belong


Everybody knows me
Everone shows me
And i'll be here when you have gone
For the road to carry on
We all must find a place where we belong


If destiny has spoken
If finally the dawn has broken
We all must find a place where we belong


I'm just a wandering gypsy
I've sung for you tonight
And now the seats are empty
I'll turn and walk into my spotlight

Try sad music, not the 'I lost all my possessions' blues sorta music (I love it, but not the right moment)

If you wanna cry, kinda some of those, songs that makes you realize, life is a slow and torturous journey from the absolute bliss of childhood you can never go back to into this...

Find a song from the past that you can remember hearing when you were depressed, or a song that used to make you ahppy, but due to recent circumstances obviously can't make you happy and keep replaying it until every time you hear it you can cry again.

If that doesn't work, hit yourself in the face with a frying pan until you do.

Thing is, just having tears run down your cheeks for "physical" reasons helped me a bit. Someday, you might be able to get an emotional outbreak that will allow you to cry properly, but until then, there isn't much you can do to cry real tears...
