It's crazy because I'll watch something sad or something intense and I can feel my eyes prickle but nothing comes out. I've been drinking a lot of water but to no avail. Is it because I'm on Zoloft (someone mentioned a decreased range of emotion on a different thread)? Man, even a small cry would be fine. I just need to clear my tear ducts and get some sad emotions out.

I know exactly how you feel! It's even worse for me. It's been 24+ years since I cried last. I know the exact date because it was when my son died. I cried then, I could not stop. But then one day I did stop and never cried again. Not even when my mother died, or friends I knew, or pets we had. Oh I get close but no tears, nothing. I wish I could cry because it is a form of relief and some thing I don't get any relief from any more. I have two more kids and I'm sure if any thing happened to them I would cry. I've wondered so long and hard why I can't cry any more. It's not because I don't have feelings, I do it's just I can never shed any tears. The closest I got was dry crying for like less then a minute. I read about all these people that post here how all they do is cry and wish they could stop. Ironic because I wish I could cry and can't.
