i’ve cried before in my life obviously but several months ago i was sexual assaulted by a friend, at first i blew it off as nothing and now i can’t stop thinking about it and feeling hands on me and i want to cry but i feel like just as i’m about to cry my body doesn’t let me and i feel like crying and i want to but i don’t know how to please help. i don’t know if it’s toxic masculinity but i genuinely feel like i need to cry.
You need to talk to someone about this. Someone in real life that you trust. Get therapy and a lawyer.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm the same that way, I can't cry when I'm alone. I have to be with someone to be able to cry. This is something you should probably talk to someone with anyway.
Yeah, for a some people it's kinda hard to cry. If you need to cry to let some emotions out, what I do is just relax. Tell yourself that it's okay to cry. Expressing all of the emotions you feel to yourself also helps. Some people can't cry in front of others, and that's normal, too. Coming to terms with things that happened may be painful and scary, but it's something that can ultimately help in the long run. And at the end of the day, if you can't seem to cry, it is normal and completely okay. Therapy is also a good option. I've heard that it helps a lot. What your "friend" did to you was horrible, and it is okay to cry, as well as not. People cope with different things in different ways. It also helps when crying to go to a secluded room to let it all out. That's all I could think of at the moment, but I hope you have a great day.
You were in the denial phase before. Turn to therapy or drugs which ever you prefer.
