There are a lot of people here talking about how crying is good and whatever. My problem is different. I could cry a lot and regarded it as a good thing. Felt excellent afterwards. Then in 2016 I stopped being able to. Now when I cry it's very subdued. I want to cry again.

I'm not very surprised. I have a similar experience - I never cried *readily*, but it used to be a thing I was much more able to do until The Event in 2012 after which I shut down most of my feelings for... some time. A lot better now but crying is still hard.
I find journaling very helpful. Would you find it useful to write down a big list of everything that went wrong in 2016 and see which bits have the strongest emotional resonance?
