Do you cry out emotions or do you physicaly feel them as sensations
I feel as if I can’t cry out my emotions so I physically feel them

I cry very occasionally and only when i am at breaking point, luckily it may be a way of coping with intense strain and pressure that i put on myself, i remember crying when i had to give up college bc the class all hated me, and then another time and recently fell apart last week and was shaking and crying and totally fkd up but luckily it did pass with help from my beautiful key worker and by speaking to a duty nurse the next morning, i’m hoping its not going to be a thing though.
There was a time i cried all day a few months ago, i just sat in the clubhouse and i was a mess, luckily it didn’t really affect my sz symptoms as i felt it was a separate issue if you can believe that, still trying to work it out, felt kind of like bipolar type behaviour

Both!! I cry and I also feel them like an awful sad throbbing. Kinda like when you get bad news and your tummy drops.
I feel like if you have phycosis you have trouble expressing emotions

I haven’t cried for years. But I probably would cry and not feel physical pain. If you’re feeling physical pain you might want to get it checked out by a doctor ?

I’m not crying so much on Depakote but before taking it, I was frequently crying.
It’s very comon for psychotic illnesses to change the way our mind and body processes emotions.
I tend to cry over the smallest, dumbest things. For example, my pen running out of ink while writing, unable to find something, having to get out of bed, or having to leave the house and go run errands.
When big stressors happen, I turn numb emotionally, but I feel it physically.
If it’s a really big stressor, it can be so intense that it paralyzes me, and my head goes all white and fuzzy.

on my old med i was numb, didnt cry and had no emotion, but it changed with new med and better outlook 
On a good day, I can actually cry. Most days, I’m pretty numb. Some days, I just cry spontaneously for no reason.
I used to never cry. Then I cried at everything. Now on the haldol I rarely cry. Sometimes I’ll feel like something warrants crying and it’s like I should be crying, but I just don’t. It’s kind of an odd feeling.

Well, for me too its not ok this. In the past I was so bad, that everything was blocked inside me. My mom ws laughing that I am autistic. Now I can cry sometimes, but sometimes I still cant. I had my moments of crying too much for nothing too… so basically, its still a mess here …

I cry quite a bit, especially under pressure.

When people yell at me it feels like fireworks in my brain. But I can’t cry anymore. I wish I could cry.

I do like, I am such a cry-baby. I hate being scolded and I overthink a lot. I am jumping to a conclusion for no apparent reason.
I don’t cry either. I wouldn’t say I’m incapable of it though.

I am constantly in tears.
