How do I say "I held my head in my hands"
If you are referring to &quot;put my head in my hands and cried&quot;,
My suggestion would be「抱頭痛哭」

抱: Holding / 頭: Head /  痛哭: Cry badly

In case you don't stick with &quot;Crying&quot;, you can still use it this way:

I hold my head in my hands as i read his article
在讀這篇文章的時候，我以手抱頭。
