I cry a lot. My mom begs me to stop sometimes.
Me too. In the worst phase,i would lay on bed and cry whole day. im trying to keep myself occupied so i have less time to think.
Yes, and I’m a guy. I used to cry more as I was recovering, but little by little I got stronger.
Lol, the only time I’ve cried in the last 15 years is when I was reading 'The Hunger Games" for a class and a character I liked got killed. I wasn’t bawling like a baby but a couple of tears rolled down my cheek.
I found it strange, but even at the height of my torture involving this I was incapable of crying. I have managed to cry a few times since and that is it.
That’s funny dude.
The last time I cried would have been the summer of last year. Psychotic thinking drew up a scenario and I lost it.
Come to think of it I cried in the hospital when I thought my brother was dead. That was a few months prior to the last time.
I’ve never cried in public,even when i was in school. I dont like to be vulnerable in front of strangers
Idk my eyes water and stuff for seemingly no reason at all and at inappropriate times and people probably think I’m crying…
i havent cried in public before, last time i cried was since before i went into hospital, when i was on meds there was absolutely no chance it happening…even if i wanted to, even now off meds i havent.
although i would like to cry tears of happiness at least once in my lifetime
The last time I’ve really cried was like 10 years ago. That was just before,during and after my divorce. Sometimes I still get a lost tear during a movie but thats it. I’m a big boy now.
Seldom do I cry. Maybe once a year. I only cried about my own pain once, in the fall of 2013. I have cried over other people’s stories a couple of times since then.
If we were telepathic in its collective form no one would have any problems. We’d draw from seemingly infinite wisdom and experience.
We’d be a totally different species. One organism many cells.
Fiction though. I wish I could help people. Even in my mind there are some things I’m good coping with.
I think my cross wired head makes me cry at the wrong times.
When something is sweet and cute… a few tears will well up. Most people are just happy… I’m getting a teary.
But horrid stuff that most people would cry about… (my Dad’s heart attack, my sisters time in hospital… ) I’m sort of numb and unemotional.
I have dry crys at times.
A real tear cry very rarely. Although I used to cry all the time and rage in my childhood and adolescence
I cry, but something has to provoke it, Like when I’m so overwhelmed with negative voices in my head. Or when I have to actually talk about my illness in person with someone. I can type it out easily, but actually speaking about what the voices tell me or the images that flash in my head make me nervous. I think I’m worried what the other person I’m speaking to will think.
I also cry sometimes when I feel extremely depressed, but only really cry when it’s extremely overwhelming. Otherwise I prefer to just curl up in bed and pull the cover over my head and block out the world until the darkness in my head goes away.
I cry like surprisedj . When I am in a happy moment the tears flow, when I am sad, I disconnect.

I am not a crier. In my family we were punished if we cried for anything except injury or something suitably sad such as death. Even then only a certain amount of crying was acceptable. When I was hysterical a couple years ago because I came back from vacation to find my first pet fish dying, I remember my dad angrily over my shoulder telling me to shut up or he was going to throw my fish in the yard.
Even my little sisters are being raised this way. They’re six and one of my sisters when she cries refuses to admit she’s crying and just says “my eyes are watering” and the other hides in her room if she needs to cry.
I’ve only cried in public once, and it’s kind of a funny story. I was in third grade and the recess bell rang when I was on the jungle gym, so I scrambled to get off, fell, and slammed onto a bar between my legs so hard that my crotch was bleeding. (Lovely mental image I know, but let me tell you I never laugh at those jokes in movies anymore-that hurts no matter what gender you are) I remember everyone freaked the heck out when I went to the nurse because I’m the one who always has a smile on my face. And that was the only time.
Once I started therapy though, I could tell where my sore spots were because I’d start talking about a topic and I would just start sobbing, had no control over it, which was shocking to me. Which is probably a reason why I don’t talk about my emotions or personal things ever, because I lose control. Certain things I’m terrified to talk about because I know I’ll lose control of my response again.
All of this has made me confused by and not very tolerant of constant criers. I have a friend who cries every other day, no joke, for any reason, in any place at any time, and sometimes I get really sick of it but I’m trying to understand that some people just express emotion more than others.
Sorry for the uber long response, this is something I think about a lot.
rarely and not alot only when im psychotic do i ever cry like i should, like i weep built up tears from being so numb.
Nowadays I cry when I get hurt by these breakthrough symptoms I get
