I attempted suicide back in 2004. I haven't been able to cry in the past 3 years. I have had 3 members of my family pass away over those last 3 years and, I have suffered through clinical Bipolar Depression, hard friendship issues, and my parent's divorce... to list a few. You'd think with all of this I would be able to cry, but I can't. I want to cry so much at times, but all I can get are watery eyes, and I can never manage to shed tears. At all of those family member's funerals, with everyone balling their eyes out... but I couldn't do anything but sit there feeling as awful as everyone else is, but I couldn't show it. I'm on medication, 400MG of Lamictal and 200MG Wellbutrin so my Bipolar depression is under control. I wasn't able to cry BEFORE I was ever put on meds...so it's not a side effect. When I get teary eyed, I keep trying to shed a tear...but it never happens.
Look I'm a 17 year old guy, and I don't believe that BS that guys stop crying as they age. I don't hold back tears at all and I openly express my emotions, but I just can't manage to cry. Is there possibly a physical illness that maybe prevents me from doing so? I loved those members of my family VERY much...so it's not like they didn't mean enough to me for me to cry. And when I can't cry, I get angry about it...
What's wrong with me?
*I have been seeing a therapist for the past 7yrs. And see her on a biweekly basics.
*I am seeing a psychiatrist. On a monthly med check basics. Or more often if needed.
