I feel like crying often. I want to very often. The best I can do however is tear up. You see, I have physically been unable to do so since my ECT treatment a few years ago. I just can't squinch up my forehead which I have discovered must be physically a component of doing so. I have even purposely tried to do so. The bawling just doesn't come. Instead, the tears simply flow like rivers from my eyes. Ocassionally I can manage the sound of sobbing. As for the trigger to my tearing up or whish to cry? Yep, generally this is always a symptom of anxiety.
