I cry about my illness like once a month. Some days are easier than others, but the memories of being healthy are fresh in my mind so it hurts to think about how challenging the future is going to be.
When I was healthy I only really cried at super emotional movies, or when my cat died.
Depends on how to define crying. I’ve whimpered lots while gaming and gotten teary-eyed from songs.
I have a problem with affection if I get hugged for too long I get extremely sad & have to push people off me
I cry at night sometimes. At the end of a long day of voices being mean to me and I get a bit suicidal. A few times a month maybe.
I was like that on a higher dose of abilify. Was emotionless in a way actually
I’m only on the lowest dose of Trevicta.
I used to cry alot, when reading books, watching movies, going to church etc before my first psychosis.
Then I couldnt cry when put on all the meds, olanzapine, paliperidone and risperidone. The ability to cry has come back now when put on aripiprazole.
Not very much. When it happens it tends to be so damn random…I can be talking about something very painful to me that I feel very strongly about and not cry at all. Then talking about that same thing a different time I can be sobbing. Sometimes the most random things make me cry, like I cried at a kids movie last night and I never cry at movies bc they are fake. I’m also a sympathetic crier, when I see someone who is really hurt and starting to cry it makes me start to cry too.
It is kind of scary never knowing if I’m going to be able to physically express my emotions or not. Because people dont take you seriously unless you do. But I just can’t always.
I cry when I’m deeply impressed with a piece of literature, song or art.
An appreciative cry which I find utterly embarrassing and always try to struggle back
As for crying when I’m sad it seems to be impossible no matter how hard I’ve tried to find release that way in the past.
I’ll cry usually when I’m depressed but I can tear up even when my moods are even.
Since becoming schizophrenic? Never.
I don’t cry often. More now than in the past. I was raised to view it as weak, so I try not to. Hard to get past things you’re taught as a child and reinforced by society
I’d cry at the strangest things growing up as a kid. I almost disrupted my Dad’s funeral because I was close to just bawling. I didn’t cry too much at my Mom’s although, I think I’ve cried 2 or 3 times listening to music while grieving for her.
The last time I cried was in January due to things that my voices said, and it wasn’t about my past life. I was trying not to cry for 3 or 4 days although I felt that I needed to, and when I finally done it was a big relief! Thank God, after 7 years without crying any tear after my psychosis I could finally do it! Yayyy
