Feeling like I'm about to cry but can't

I always feel like I'm about to cry, but I don't. I'm not incapable of crying, I teared up today being thankful for a friend. It happens when I'm in a depressed mood. I can feel the stinging in my sinuses like I'm about to, but I shed none. It makes it worse, honestly. I can't feel the relief of crying, only my heart feeling shattered & on the brink of crying— to no avail. I am just in continuous, painful, discomfort.

i relate so much. i *want* to be able to cry, and in a healthy setting, too. i'm not exactly sure why i end up not being able to cry, but it sucks and i start wondering what's wrong with my body. i'm sorry you're experiencing that, too. sending hugs ♡

You're too sweet! Thank you kindly 💙💙💙 I'm thinking it may be stress from depression? I remember once I was not able to fully yawn. Discovered it was a symptom of high stress. Ironically, it stressed me even more out when I couldn't yawn fully 🤭
