No matter how sad I feel, I cannot cry. Turned to self-harm though I don't do that anymore.

[daydreamER]

The few times I have cried over the past years felt good. Crying releases endorphins and act as a catharsis to your pain.
When I feel cripplingly alone or even when I lose a loved one, I cannot cry, so I never get to experience the catharsis that comes from tears. To feel something I started self-harming though I have stopped now.
Anyone else experience this? I sometimes even try getting myself to cry but it doesn't work.

Yes

I feel empathy but it is cold now, frozen. Like I am feeling it from behind a window. Can't really relate to it anymore. There is only so much depth you can reach with this kind of stuff, I always knew there was an end to sadness, I mean it's only logical that you can't keep manufacturing new depths of emotions, eventually you'll reach the lowest point and then it will fizzle out like it did with me. Or maybe not, maybe there is some new depth of suffering I have yet to unlock.

I see what you mean but I think my emotions are quite strong, I just can't seem to show them. I don't think I have reached the depths of suffering yet, not even close. I wonder what kind of sadness is worse, losing love or never having it in the first place. Maybe it depends on the person.

It feels good because of the same concept of why crying feels good. Do you think that is why you do it?

A good trick you can use to cry is to deliberately get antidepressant withdrawal syndrome to induce mania. It's trivial to cry when you're manic.

Not taking jewish drugs no matter how depressed I am.

I'm not advising you to take them to treat depression. I'm advising you to take them in high doses for a few weeks until they start showing effect, then abruptly stop. This should induce mania. Mania should make it very easy to cry.

Drugs are tools if you understand how to abuse them correctly.
