Feeling like I need to cry, but I can't

I have had horrible anxiety all day, had a panic attack earlier and now am just in a state of stress and tension. I feel so hopeless right now, the voices are more frequent and relentless than they normally are. I just want to cry, but I feel like I’m unable to. Sorry to rant, just felt like I needed to get this out there. Does anyone else ever feel like they just need to cry, but they aren’t able to? Was thinking maybe it was a side effect to my medication…

I think the feeling of hopelessness is the worst. I felt hopeless yesterday. I feel a bit better today. So these feelings can pass. Keep fighting.

When I wanted to cry, but couldn’t, I would cut up an onion. Then, at least I could cry a bit, and then I could have delicious fried onions.

I don’t have difficulty crying anymore, thanks to years of therapy.

That bit made me laugh, still a good idea though.

Schizophrenics don’t have range of emotions. Most of us have a flat or blunted affect. It’s a negative symptom. The onion is a good idea.

I kind of miss being cold and seemingly emotionless. Now I’m at a stage where I’m hypersensitive and cry often because things either hurt my feelings or make me anxious.
