Why I can't cry?

[Anonymous]

Lately a lot of sad things happened in my life. Really sad. My mom is very sick. I was stuck in a war torn country. Finally escaped but i am leaving family behind and can't save them. They might face the worse. I am going to another unsafe place. Leaving a country that i love Sooo much. All my dreams and plans are shattered. I lost a lot of money. I feel really lost. But i can't cry, i feel empty. I wish i can cry so i can feel alive but i can't. I should be VERY angry but also can't feel anything

The people in my country are very kind and good people and they r facing a war and destruction they dont deserve. My mind can't fathom how sad i feel about that either

Some people cry & some people don’t & it ok not to cry & it’s ok if you want to cry.
As for you you ask why you can’t cry & I think it’s because you are simply holding back tears. It saddens me to hear about what is going on in your life & I hope better days will come my friend. Stay strong, stay safe.

You are overloaded. In time you will start to feel sadness and anger. It will not have a timetable and may surprise you. It could even manifest itself with physical symptoms.

I'm sorry to hear all this. Hope your life gets better.

Maybe you're shocked and you still can't believe what's happening. Perhaps you need time to process and feel everything you're feeling.
There's nothing wrong with crying, it will make you feel better. Give yourself some time.

it’s okay to cry and you can cry but maybe just you’re body can’t because of exhaustion and im sorry for your situations
