    Default I don't cry anymore...

    ...at all. And I can't figure out if it's a good thing or not. The same songs that would make me bust into tears make me just sing loudly. What SHOULD be devestating situations make me sniffle and I feel sad and I WANT to cry and I just... start doing something else. There has been something terrible on my mind now for about 4 days and I want to cry about it - I really do - and I just can't.

    While my new upbeat and happy personality is making me a hit at work, when I go home I am a bit mopey and can't 'get over it' because I can't cry. I just dwell on it instead.

    At the same time I went through a bit of non-crying depression again recently. So now I don't know if I should see the doctor about upping me meds, lowering them or keeping them.

    ..I'm just confused. Maybe someone here has an idea.

    I cry about 5-8 times a year, not even kidding. I'm fine with that, it gets fucking scary when I do.


    It's probably the meds messing with your natural crying patterns anyway. (I was on them for 10 years, ugh)

    When I first started the celexa, I couldn't cry. At all. It was weird because I had been crying every day for a while. But now I've been on the meds about 5 weeks, I can cry again. I don't cry as much, but little things don't upset me as much. Maybe it's a side effect, and it will pass, but it's always a good idea to check with your doc.

    Rent the movie To Live (it'll be in the foreign films section, it's Chinese). Might sound crazy, but that movie never fails to make me burst into tears; everything I need to cry about just rushes out through my eyes. It's so cathartic.

    I defibatly think you should talk to your doctor about it. Crying is good, cleansing, healing, and relieving to me, and I'd miss it.

    I'm a sap though, I cry when I'm happy, sad, or in between. I guess I cry 300-400x a year....

    Probably the #1 thing I disliked about my meds was not being able to cry. I figured it would be a good thing since I burst into tears over just about everything but it was kind of stressing me out. I'd talk to your doc.

    I wouldnt mind not crying. Usually I dont...once or twice a year MAYBE. But lately the waterworks turn on regularly. Too much going on I guess...my emotions are on overload.

    But crying does help you move on. If you cant and need to..you'll end up wallowing and spiraling down.

    Talk to your Dr.

    It's the meds. I'm on a low dose of mine and still have a hard-ass time crying.

    As I've gotten older, I cry less. Call it life experience, I guess. Stuff just doesn't get under my skin like it once did. When I do cry now, it is usually for a good reason, like hurricanes and tsunamis and the like.

    I don't cry as much either - but I also don't get insane moody pms anymore either. That is when the crying would usually happen. After having a baby, I feel like my hormones sort of were reset and life is a lot easier. Strange. It could also be just getting older, like Paris said.

    I'm only 21. I'm probably not old enough to have lived enough to just stop crying from age. It might be that, though, considering the one thing I want to cry about is the same thing I was crying about a few months ago (the reason came back). Maybe I learned last time what my mistake was and refuse to cry this time? At one point I almost cried, I was really close... and then I just wiped my misty eyes and went, "Oh, a hockey game!" and watched TV. Odd... for me, anyway.

    Mmm, but I love Chinese tear-jerkers so I'm totally renting the movie Yekhefah mentioned.


    And yeah, need to see a doctor, too. Thanks ladies.

    I've been through something similar. Something really traumatic happened years ago, and I couldn't cry. Same thing as you - when I would feel the sadness coming on, I would just... ignore it kind of, I guess. Get distracted and read or play video games. I went through 900 page novels once a week during that time.

    Are you not facing it? Maybe it's too hard to go through it alone. Have you tried talking about it with someone, a friend or therapist?

    As a note, I wasn't on antidepressants during that time. I am now, but I still have the problem when it comes to stuff I can't handle alone.

    I've talked about it a little with a friend, but now he makes jokes that he should start charging me and now every time I bring up the subject I have to give him $10, hahahaha! I don't blame him, he was always there for me and I kinda ranted to him dozens of times and now it's just so old he doesn't wanna hear it. I don't really want him to hear it either, I'm becoming a one-subject pony with this poor friend!

    I probably should find someone else to talk to about it.

    And funny enough, I am reading a new book and I've been playing video games, too. I just got Drawn to Life and have been playing Playboy while reading Chick Lits. It's like I'll do ANYTHING to make my life shallow so I have a reason to not feel emotions.

    I guess I feel if I'm shallow enough, I will stop investing my heart and soul into things and stop caring so much when I'm hurt.

    Damn. I just now came to this conclusion. Maybe I SHOULD see someone. It IS free. I'm just scared to admit I have a problem, I guess.

    I hope you get it all figured out Lysondra. If the option to see someone about it is there, by all means do it. Don't let it eat away at you.

    I don't know, I have the opposite problem right now. Everything makes me cry. EVERYTHING. Another movie you would watch is the Notebook. Or Indecent Proposal.
