I've suffer from depression for too long since I was a child. I bottled up my feeling of depression for such a very long time.

I feel like as if I were about to explode because I couldn't bear this any longer.

However, I try to cry in an attempt to escape from this torturing state of mind but I can't. I want to scream, cry but it's like my mouth is zipped.

Now, it's torturing since everything is still bottled up. I just couldn't 'explode'..I know I wasn't strong enough to handle my depression but how come I cannot scream or cry...

    I too is the type of person who bottles up emotions and just cry it out at the end of the day in the shower or before I sleep. I don’t like people seeing me cry. If you’re like me, write your frustrations down, scream or curse inside your car or cry in the bathroom or in your bedroom, take martial art classes etc., so that you can at least alleviate them even just a litte. And when you’re ready, open up to your loved ones or seek professional help.

    Do you have an option to seek out professional help? If you've bottled it up for such a long time it might be a good idea to talk to someone who can really help you.

    In the meantime, I agree with Destroyer; get mad and scream and punch and kick (and try not to hurt yourself in the process). It might help release some of the tension holding your tears back.
    Hugs!

    I had the same problem. Transform the bad feelings into something else. If you can do that then one day you will be able to cry. What i did was transform all of that into anger and start hitting a wall or the floor with my fists. And one day I cried again. That was a beautiful moment for me.
