I did talk for over six months before even trying an anti-depressant. Besides, I allow myself to cry at times because it is better than not being able to cry as mentioned in one of the above postings. Now that was reallly strange. Besides, my voice doesn't haven't any flatness in it like it did before I met T. My T said that she remembers my voice being flat when we first met. I liked hearing that she heard it to. At first, I thought I was the only one who heard it at times (at night when I would get tired).
I shared with T my fears of getting stuck on anti-depressants. She didn't have a lot to say about it. She seems to think that if a drug helps you function, then why not use it. I just don't like drugs. My doctor made sure to use the word "medication" in his response.
As for controling when I cry, I have managed to not cry at work for quite a while now except once (didn't get caught by anyone). However, I cry at school, at home etc. I haven't cried for three days. But that is pretty normal after my time with T. I hope that I can go for a whole week without trying to hold it in though. (I hate not being able to cry even more than crying at work right in front of my boss.)
