Is it normal i don't cry.

4 Comments

So if someone dies no matter how close I was or anything sad I just don't cry. I can get so mad I feel like crying and try to but can't. I have cystic fibrosis (A terminal lung disease) and almost died a few years ago and cried a little because I was scared but now I just feel like everything's bottled up and I can't let it out. I'm 18 never had a girlfriend.. partly because I kinda grew up in a hospital, I'm probably depressed and had thoughts of "ending it" but because of my religion that scares me :/ , family isn't really "there for me" and put me down a lot. But because of CF I can't seem to get a job to make money so I can move out.. so I'm stuck at home. So I feel I have a lot to cry about but I don't know I just can't..

    I have a condition too actually and went through what you went through. I think this is HUGELY to do with your depression. I am slowly getting better but man it's like my emotions won't come out. I can feel incredibly sad but I will actually just come across as okay. I have had times in my life that I know I should be crying but couldn't so I know how you feel. What is helping me is taking vitamins, getting more sunlight exposure, changing my diet and doing one thing a day even if it's small that used to make me feel good.

      Exactly, if anyone asks how I'm doing 9 times out of 10 I'll say "fine" or "Im okay". Not sure what you have but it's nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with this. It's really annoying that's for sure. I will have to try the ideas you listed though, thanks.

    Part of depression is feeling numb, like you feel heavy and you can't do anything to shed the weight.

    I'm not sure if its normal but I rarely can cry and when I have I can stop doing it within seconds. I have gone years without crying and wondered what made everyone else cry so easily. I don't have an answer for why some people cry more than others but I would imagine there are different reasons.
