That awful feeling when all you want to do is let the tears out but you just can’t.
It sounds strange that I have to be in the right place and with the right company (or lack thereof) to be able to let the tears fall, but I do. It depends in the kind of tears that are trying to flow though. If it’s tears from my CPTSD the company and place matters a massive amount.
Sometimes music can help
“Cemetery Gates” by Pantera is often one that my brain craves when I need to let tears fall. It also helps if the music is loud and hard enough I feel it in my chest. “Lonely Day” by System of A Down is another one.
Sometimes I can let them fall by reminding myself that I’m safe where I’m at and that I’m far (in time and pace) from the traumatic shit.
Sometimes it’s tears in the shower until the water runs cold.
One of the biggest things that helped me though in actually letting them fall was getting quitting drinking.
Great comment, I just want to also suggest another song by System of a Down - “Soldier Side”. this one really makes my mind focus on itself and open up

I’ve been sober now for 7 years.
It’s the longest I’ve ever been sober.
