Something that I've noticed, which I find rather odd, is that I have found myself unable to cry. Even in my darkest moments at the bottom of my mental pit, I seem to be unable to produce tears and merely weep. I wish that I could cry, merely to feel the relief afterward, but it has shown to be impossible. I have no release. Does anybody else experience this? If so, how do you manage it? I am not on any medications and have never been previously. In fact, nobody knows of my depressive tenancies IRL. Don't ask why and don't tell me to see a doctor and all of that crap. I know already. I just have a simple question.

Yes, I was that way for about six years. I was not able to cry, not even one drop. I was suffering a lot but not feeling.
Now, it is the opposite. I cannot stop crying. It is extremely annoying

I agree. Hurting but not being able to cry is sucky. Usually / often worse than crying. This happens to me too, but mostly because of my medication, I think.

I'm sure that happens to a lot of people. I understand it can be annoying.

Perhaps you can find other way to release your stress. What about gym?

It is “normal” to go through periods of not being able to cry and it’s frustratiing as hell. Other times I go through episodes where I cry at the drop of a hat. I don’t know what to tell you other than I’m listening.
