I feel I am lucky that I can still laugh at funny things. I am surprised that the last few years on anti-depressants have left me, previously a drama queen, unable to cry. Does anyone else find this to be true?

And alot of times I even have to force myself to do those things . But most of time, if I can make myself take that first step, I'll end up kind of enjoying it. My kids sometimes have to literally drag me out of my comfort zone to do things , & I may even get mad at them for making me go but after awhile I'll find myself having fun. Once I break through that barrier, I'll start to feel better. The longest journey starts with one small step.
