I've been feeling like shit the past couple days and i've been trying to cry, it used to be a natural thing few years ago, but now it just doesn't happen, the fact i cant cry anymore feels like it's KILLING me, cant open up to myself or to others, i'm trying to watch some sad romantic movies to no avail, even tried rewatching some i used to cry like a baby and just couldn't, but i felt the sadness building up, i'm scared i cant cry anymore, it hurts and i heard it's mentally damaging since if you hold it like that you could explode at any moment.

Feels like a sneeze that tickles your nose but doesn't want to happen and it's driving me insane and tired.

    I'm not a professional, I feel like if someone is severely depressed for a very long time that sometimes that person can start to feel numb. I've had times when I couldn't cry, and everything started to just feel unreal, and even surreal. I've also injured myself just bumping into things and what not, but not remembered how I bonked myself. Just one day I wake up and find a bruise, but I don't know how I got it.

    I don't know if my share has been of any help, but I hope it has.

      I've stopped self-harming two years ago and also left therapy
      Lots of things happened since i left, i feel overwhelmed but i have no more urges of hurting myself
      Still, i left my anti-depressants and i'm having a rough time keeping up
      It helps knowing there's also someone like me.
      And yeah, it could pretty much be my depression

        Please don't be afraid to seek help if you need it. Why did you decide to leave therapy and stop taking medication?

          I didn't leave therapy, i turned 18, and since i was technically an adult they had to end the treatment.

          The pills made me feel sick, my stomach would burn and i would puke a lot.

    make crying noises and you will eventually shed tears and go back to what you were doing before and cry often

    Get out and do something. Even a nice long walk will help. Sitting around moping about it won't do you any good.
