Ever since being on Olanzapine and Cipralex, I havent been able to cry.

I had case management today. My therapist has been pushing to get motivated and have a list of things to do from art, music, watching TV to self care and they all sounded miserable to me and broke down to tears. My negative symptoms are so bad. This homework feels overwhelming.

I haven’t cried since I started Prozac. Before that, I used to cry all the time at random, in between long bouts of emotional numbness

Nothing gets through. Been walled off for so long I probably wouldn’t recognize an honest emotion if I had one. Too little for too long and far past caring. Didn’t even cry when my Mom died.

@iconoclast_01 yeah I feel like such a bratty baby getting so emotional over something so stupid.

Nah, not at all. Much better to be close to how you feel, makes experiences more “real”, if that makes any sense.

I never cry. But when psychotic I had some tears for no reason, it was random, maybe bcz I was suicidal. I think on meds when listening to high volume music I used to listen when psychotic makes me have some tears.
Rarely.

I cry more than is common for most people, I think, but this is understandable, since schizophrenia is very hard to deal with.
Crying is healthy. I don’t mind it.

That’s alarming. Have you told your psychiatrist about this?
Not being able to cry isn’t healthy, at all. There is a reason people cry; it helps us.
When did you start Prozac?
i don’t cry… last time i cried was last year when my kitty cat died.
I was unable to cry almost before in my illness 
It was long before the meds… I was keeping it all in me, i became way too a tough rock i guess…
So now, i try to let go… I cry for some stupid things i guess still, but i even look for it sometimes…
Well, it all should get regulated on this one day, but yeap…
I full blown cry sometimes but I tear up often.
Tearing up is a form of crying I guess?
I voted for a lot

I have been unable to cry at all for several years now. I guess it is due to emotional blunting and/or dissociation (numbing).

I did, too. I would mostly cry when I heard certain songs, they moved me so much when I was in that state. (Unless they were scaring the â– â– â– â– out of me, because I thought it was a message from someone.)

Ever since I started Invega I lost the ability to cry. I tear up at the most, but only a little bit. I sometimes get the feeling of tears building up and about to start but no, it stops. It is even off APs.
I figure when I can cry again it means the last of the AP is fully out of my system.

I wasn’t sure whether to put never or rarely because, like ZombieMombie, on the extremely rare occasion that I do, I can only tear up some, never a full fledged cry.
