Lately all I want to do is cry. But I can't cry, it's a sign of weakness, right? But I'm not sad, I'm just.....I don't know. Have I held in my tears to long? I never cry when needed, because I don't have a shoulder to cry on(friend). If I cry at school, they will ask me what's wrong, but after I'm done crying they are just going to treat me like crap again, and if I cry at home, well I can't because I have to be a good rolemodle for my autistic brother, I can't just break down and cry! So i have no where to go to cry. What should I do? I don't know if I'll break down at home or school, all I know is that I'm going to have to cry sooner or later.

I totally get what you mean. Sometimes we go through phazes where we just dont feel like we can go on any longer. And sometimes the best way to get it out is to cry. Yeah sometimes its going to feel like you're not supposed to cry, but you have to once in a while. Everyone does. And with any emotion, keeping it inside just isnt very healthy. So do some of the things other people said liek take a long relaxing shower or watch a sad movie and see where that takes you. Taking a deep breath is awesome too someone mentioned that I think just do whatever it takes to make you feel okay, and sometimes that means letting it all out and crying.
There are lots of places to cry, someone said the bathroom, thats a good last resort, but its also kinda depressing. Your room before you go to sleep is okay, go to a movie theatre, its dark and no one can see you just watch the movie and think about your feelings.
Sometimes all of the places and all of the things dont work, and you have to get your emotions out some other way, the way to do taht is to use your creativity, draw a picture write a poem, or keep a journal (I recomend the last one highly) let everything out. Read a book (or write one :P) do something that makes you happy. but hey, angie, thats not going to help me cry, you say, but sometimes the things that make you happy, lket you release that bit of emotion you need to get out and help you to feel just alittle bit better.
If all of that doesnt work, and you need another way to get it all out, write it out, write a letter to anybody (you can write it to me if you want), you dont have to send it, just write it to explain what your life is like and dont read it. Just write everything. It can be a page or a book. whatever it takes to make you get every single little thing out. And you'll probably find that in the end most of the feelings will be anger. And later in life a few months from now, if you still feel this way read over it and write some more. And then take the stuff you read and try and find ways to fix this. If its loneliness, join a club and make friends if its feelings sorry for yourself (about your brothers autisim and your parents not paying as much attention to you as him,) then try ad talk to someone about it.
If you're having problems at school try and figure out why and how to change them because sometimes a new outlook on things will help.
Remember this, no matter how hard life can get or how much you just want to give up and let it all loose you are important, and people care about you. Not just your parents or siblings, but people here too. People wouldnt answer your question if they didnt care, people wouldnt talk to you at school if they didnt care. There are lots of people who care about you.
And yeah it might happen, you might break down, but if you do, don't worry about people being mad at you, or getting uncomfortable about it, its life and no one can change you and who you are, when things happen out of control, sometimes its a sign somethings wrong, and maybe it will get you the help you need.
I really hope I helped, if you need anything, I'm here. Love ya,

Just cry your poor little heart out, and it will take so much weight off of you. Or, you could go for a run.. that way, you can't be bothered because if you have headphones on like from an MP3 player or something, no one will say anything to you because they'll see your headphones and they'll know that you won't be able to hear them.. go put on some really loud music that pumps you up, and just go. It works, and gets out sooo much stress. It's also a very healthy thing to do. And if someone asks you if you were crying, just say that your allergies have been acting up.. It is afterall allergy season! But if I were you, I would first just go for a looonggg run. Don't think about anything at all. Run as far and as long, as hard, fast, slow, whatever you want until you can't go anymore. Then, go home and take a really long hot shower or bath and just cry. It will make you feel soooo much better, and truly is the best kind of therapy. Good luck! ♥ =) [ 0NEL0VEEx's advice column | Ask 0NEL0VEEx A Question ]
blackluna7111 answered Friday April 20 2007, 10:28 pm: dont worry we all need to cry sometimes. i cry alot, and i feel like i have no place to cry either, i understand what youre going threw. but just think about it, and take a deep breath,. you can also write poems or songs they can help out alot.
now, the best place to cry is the bathroom!!1 especially when you're taking a shower. no one can tell and you have your privacy!, thats where i always cry or in your room locked. but dont worry eevrythings going to be okay. its just a phase.

skiier12345 answered Friday April 20 2007, 10:16 pm: just take a deep breath. sometimes you just need to cry. a bunch of things build up over time and then you just need to cry, even if it's for no reason. try to just give yourself some alone time in your room or somewhere where you can be by yourself, and just let it all out. if you don't have a friend to just vent to, try keeping a journal. believe me, getting out all your thoughts on paper really relieve a bunch of built-up emotions.
