It's hard to cry

[firemonkey]

Sometimes I feel weepy, but it’s very hard to cry. It’s as though something physically holds me back .

I haven’t cried in years, even when i felt like crying. I know what you mean.

I want to cry too sometimes. But I have cried so much in the past I am all worn out.

I can’t remember the last time I cried

I’m sure some of us don’t have a strong reason to cry, so that’s why we don’t cry lol

I don’t cry either and think it might have something to do with “blunted” affect. In psychosis in 2012 in the hospital I did break down bc I thought 9-11 was my fault, but even then I thought I was being watched, so there was a strong outward pressure to show some effing emotion.

I am not numb to tears. However, in my house they are viewed as a sign of weakness or manipulation so though my emotional need is to be comforted, I get the opposite. Therefore, it’s a conundrum for me. Good topic btw because it’s a reminder of how ■■■■■■■ powerful our meds are!
