I've been going through a lot recently. Multiple jobs, bills piling up, and my current relationship is falling apart. I want to cry. To bawl my eyes out and scream at the top of my lungs. But I can't. It feels like there's a wall between me and my emotions. Anyone else deal with this?

Absolutely. I was raised as a male in the United States, so crying was strongly discouraged.

I recommend "The Tao of Fully Feeling" by Pete Walker. I read it a few times and can cry my eyes out on a regular basis now.
