How do i make myself cry?

[Bombercrab]

i find myself wanting to cry quite often, but the tears never come (holy cliche)
idk im not numb i still feel emotions, like can i scream in anger and laugh with happiness, but i cant cry
iv tried watching sad movies and listening to emo music while ideating.
maybe im just dehydrated

what do u do when u want a good cry?
how do u make the tears flow?

the meds im on right now blunt my emotions too much but before i was would cry for hours every day lol. depends on the person i guess? if you're in enough pain it just happens, most of the time my depression is like a rock in my stomach but when it gets really bad it feels like a hole sucking up all emotion except sadness. crying's never been cathartic to me so it's something i try to avoid.

I only have been able to will it while sitting in the shower and relaxing.
