My T is telling me that i need to cry so that I can decrease the intensity of feelings inside, but I am not able to cry. I haven't been able to for several months. I wonder if the medication Abilify is keeping me from feeling the range of feelings. Has anyone ever had the experience that one of their medications is keeping them from feeling?

The intense feelings inside me that need to be decreased are all about fear and depression. I know there is a range of feelings that I should be feeling when working on memories and other stuff but all I feel (and with greatest intensity) are fear and depression. I know there is more feelings out there. I have been able to feel them in the past when working with other Ts and other memories and emotions. So why haven't I been able to feel the range of feelings? Why can't I cry?

Thanks for listen to my rant.....

Abillify makes you not able to feel any emotions. It makes you a zombie. We know; we were on it.

I was on a med too where I couldn't cry (not Abilify)
I do think the Abilify is probably causing (or contributing to) your being unable to cry especially if you trust, or are starting to trust, your T

perhaps a good plan is to talk to your dr that gave you the abilify and ask him/her.
you can also check on line for the drug and it's side effects or what it does.

sometimes when we try too hard it slips away, the feelings, and tho we feel them inside (another holds alot of the pain, sads, depression, fears) unless that insider is present or out, they don't get expressed and they begin to reach a boiling point and seem to want to explode........

let it happen, don't stress over it, maybe tell your T you need to slow down.....
check out the meds you are taking
and breathe.....

Thanks White for your input. My Ts has been allowing the parts to come out in the office but they don't want them to come out when I am not in the office because they overwhelm me. The depression has been lingering for about 2 weeks or so. I am trying not to allow it to consume me but it is continuing to get more intense. The depression and fear are just seeming to take over. My T thinks crying will make things less intense.

I don't think I am trying to feel too hard. Sometimes I think I am not trying hard enough. I am breathing and trying to take things has they come. I am just so frustrated. The feelings are really intense.

I will check out the medication site and see what else I can do for this.

thanks again white!
