Can you cry?

[dysfunctional]

You only feel numb because the damage is too big.

Your soul is being eaten alive inside you. But you shut out the truth.

Just like how when your body is damaged enough by the fire it doesn't hurt anymore.

Curious if you can elaborate on the part about shutting out the truth. Very interesting.

Meds to treat the mania, definitely make me numb. I remember joining this site with full blown crazy energy. Now I'm all medicated and that's gone now. It's replaced with an odd nothingness.

which mediciations? prozac made me numb and i'm grateful for it

I want to cry but the tears don't come.

[TheGoodGuy]

Not really except when I saw my childhood home had been demolished a few month back I was crying so much..

Pretty much anything to calm me when in a manic state like lithium or depakote. Traditional antidepressants like zoloft and prozac did it to me too. I hear the newer atypicals are better for some, but they have a tendency to raise my fasting blood sugar over 200. (I'm diabetic.) I'd prefer not to go blind and/or lose limbs before I die. However, I do find irony in treating many of my physical ailments when all I want is death.

I will cry whenever I think of going to CTB..

 

[Mud.]

Yes.
But it's my body that cries, not my mind.
A reaction to physical pain.
Tears can stream across my cheeks without any emotional trigger.

 

[Voldmort]

of course. its so easy, im weak.

 

[skitliv]

I can't, even though I want to

I cry often but I don't track it. Sometimes it's a few tears or an all out balling session. I could not restrain from crying if someone or something triggered it. Like extreme stress, uncertainty, loneliness, something I see outside can do it too. I live in this awfully depressing neighborhood right now too so that really can drive me to tears at times. Run down vacant buildings, just ugly area, it's depressing. It's an area that looks ghettoized.

 

[hikikomori]

No I can't Evan fucking cry I hate myself I wear a mask at home and everywhere else I can smile Evan when under the desk I'll be cutting but I can't fucking cry it hurts o bad and I just wanna let it out but I can't. I can tear up but it won't come out

 

[hikikomori]

To be a prude, its sad equvullant of being interpreted mid coitis except you feel more weak and inadiquite

 

[iamthezero]

Usually my problem is most days I can't stop. Itll start and restart. Usually for me its always in private, I've excused myself to the bathroom and came back before. Never made me feel better..just like shit.

 

[Shewaitsforme]

Very rarely, sometimes i think if i could just cry it out id be ok. Then i think if i cry ill never stop. Apparently i lack emotions but the way i describe it is being stood outside a dark room. My emotions are inside, i know they are there. I can go in the room but cant see or find them so i come out empty

 

[Cee]

glad im not alone. I wish i could cry, but i just cant. Last time i cried was because i found my hamster after thinking i lost her just cuz shes my favorite thing about life lmao

 

[hikikomori]

update: i was watching a you tube video started laughing then mid laugh started hrrdcore sobbing it was awsome still no tears tho my eyes were way 2 dry. is it just us though?
because it might be how much screen time we have drying out our eyes?
jeez i sound like im 70
it does make me depressed 4 sure tho cuz ppl only post there best selves on social media nd it makes me feel worse for not having that plus SO MUCH INFORMATION
(im not anti tech btw i was a freelance developer for my comunity service thing in HS)

 

[Jewels]

I used to be able to cry when I was sad or get choked up at an emotional moment, etc. When this depression hit me, it's been by far the worst time in my life, but I haven't cried once. I'd like to! My emotions really flattened out to a low level. Can you still cry?

Mental health stole my right to cry with their bs meds

 

[Roph]

I dislike crying... but yes I can.

 

[Red star]

Usually no, sometimes it happens if something has a lot of meaning to me

 

[Mara]

I used to cry all the time. Lately I feel nothing.

 

[Goodgirlryeo101]

I have no tears left for me to cry.

 

[Nights]

Yes, i can cry only due to empathy other than that no amount of harm to me could make me cry, the last time i cried was because of a post in sanctioned suicide by @CTB Dream i felt too much empathy

 

[S u i c i d e]

I cry every day

 

[blue_muse]

I've done my grieving for what could've been in life. I'm at the stage of accepting suicide.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I don't remember when I cried the last time, there's nothing to cry anymore it's too sad and too hopeless all in all.
