I’m sorry you can’t cry about it, @el_Jimbobbio.
I know it’s not going to make you feel better,
But I cry like 5 times a day average.
Everything from my own mortality to particularly touching TV commercials.
It’s not fun either.
Can’t win, can we?

I can’t cry either. I blame my olanzapine and cipralex.

I cry or tear up a few times a day
Too little and too much emotion are issues

I usually can’t cry.
Except I cried lots losing my dog recently.
Yeah. I wish I can cry more. It’s an emotion.

I don’t cry anymore now I am stable. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to be in control of your emotions. If I stop the meds the tears and histrionics come out.

I can cry, but it doesn’t happen very often.

Usually I can’t, then once in a while, do, unexpectedly.

For me, one of the BEST parts of the meds is I cant cry.

I can definitely cry. But wen I was on a higher dose, I felt numb to crying
And numb to laughing.
I remember on the high dose,
I found things funny and laughed inside but could not actually physically laugh.
Sorry to hear you can’t cry…
Hope it improves one day.
Crying is therapeutic

@SkinnyMe i agree, being emotional is very difficult especially when you have been anhedonic for so long. I would like to be a normal average person without mh issues but it ain’t happening
