I wish I could cry

[mentalhealthfighter]

I can't even cry. I have no feelings. I'm unable to experience any emotions. Whatever was inside me has died. This is pure torment. I just want to feel something, please...

Me too. Its been almost a year. Crying wont fix things but it is cathartic the least

Somehow I was able to cry when I was in the psych ward. I realised how fucked up my life has become. It was the greatest feeling ever.

i kinda wonder what you mean by this.. ive been numb for 12 years but, there's different kinds of numb. myself for example i cant feel intent. cant feel i made a choice. have no will. i can cry but there's nothing behind it

I cannot cry either. I haven't been able to for a long time and in a way I miss it. I used to cry every day. I think because I have cried so much in the past, I cannot do it anymore. I feel empty a lot of the time, it is like I have already died in a way.

What do you mean by can't feel intent, can't feel i made a choice?

For me it feels like I have no soul anymore. Its honestly crippling. Feels like theres a huge void in my brain

Same exact thing happened to me. As if I am dead now

I hope I won't offend anyone by say this, but I wish I could become numb to extent that I wouldn't be able to cry anymore. Cuz it became a real problem for me. I used to be able to control myself, more or less. But it's been over a year now….. I've been so crying much, everyday, fro any reason. I'm so tired of crying and feeling.

I can't even cry. I have no feelings. I'm unable to experience any emotions. Whatever was inside me has died. This is pure torment. I just want to feel something, please...

So I genuinely envy you, and everyone who's "lost" their ability to feel and to cry…….

Its the same for me I cant control myself anymore, even if I go to get groceries I can panic and cry. I just have way to much emotions, I wish they were gone..

I'm really sorry. I understand how you feel. I wish there was like a switch off or something…..

Yes that would have been amazing, dont really know what to do..

 

[hopelessyearning]

I also can't find the will and ability to cry anymore Not only to cry but experience so many other feelings I think I have reach it Wish I can gather the will to start the very end It's definitely something hard to achieve but that's it I feel more empowered than previous attempts God if you are ther allow me this last thing

Maybe meds could help?…..
I don't know what to do myself…..

I lost the ability to cry when I was on SSRIs, and it was miserable. Feeling sorrowful while being unable to cry just made me feel frustrated.
