forcing a cry wont really help. you cry when you need to. if oyu used to cry its not some compulsion stopping you.

remember that tears are just a symptom of sadness. they aren't required to be sad, and they arent required to feel better.

i for one prefer yelling.

I feel like I need to cry, but it just doesn't come up

thatsj ust because you associate sadness with crying. you're creating a mental block for yourself.

you can express your sadness without tears. if you feel frustrated wtihout tears, then vent that frustration.

Bioenergetics time!
So, basically tension/dullness in certain parts of the body is tied to certain emotions. In your case, depression, sadness is the emotion and it is tied to numbness of the body, focused in the abdomen.
You really wanna cry? Loosen that abdomen.
You wanna loosen that abdomen? Get a pillow, scream into it. Not fake scream, take a deep breath and put everything you got into it. Thrash about like a child. The thought is that you are exerting too much control over the emotion, so, frozen.mp3 and let it go.
