Crying is not something I'm good at. I actually had to work on it in therapy as a skill (thanks PTSD). I cry with my therapist and with my pdoc but since I moved next door to my mom I can't cry, even though I know she is sound asleep. I seem to need 30 miles between us to cry. And being this badly mixed makes it impossible because the sad is just countered by the manic and I'm left knowing I'm sad but mostly feeling numb.
I really want to just cry and get some of these feelings out. But it won't happen. Please, is there anyone else who is tearless even when it's ok to cry?

It is mood congruent for me. Sometimes I become too depressed that no matter what I do, I cannot cry. Other times, I weep uncontrollably. I am sorry for you! I know how it feels to need to cry but to be unable to do so.

I just had a nice cry about an hour ago.
During my first episode of depression I was so numb, I needed to cry but just couldn't, so it just bottled up inside of me, and then something horrible happened, and that triggered it finally, and I couldn't STOP crying. And then a week went by, and my depression was gone. So maybe you just need some sort of ****** trigger that'll make all those emotions bottle up to the surface. Other than that, I don't know how you can make yourself cry.
