succubus602.livejournal.comI haven't written anything in here in awhile, because...well...been busy I guess, but mostly, I didn't really think I had anything to say. But now, there's something that's been bugging me a little bit lately. Actually...not a little bit. A lot. More than it should, really, and people would probably think I was crazy for having a problem with it....but I do.
See, I have always been a very emotional person, and had very strong empathy for people...I always cried at movies, and when I saw something really sad, touching or otherwise emotionally jarring, I would cry instantly. I kinda liked that...it reminded me that I HAD emotions, and that I did care about things...and that made me feel like a better person, in a way. I don't know, maybe it's crazy, but it did. Besides, sometimes it feels good to cry.
Lately (about the past month or so), however...I can't cry at all. For ANY reason. I can feel like I'm going to, and I can want to, but...the tears never come. Just that stinging pain in my eyes, and then nothing. I hate it. It doesn't really bother me that I don't cry at movies and things...but it DOES bother me that when my boyfriend was very upset and HE was crying (he NEVER cries), I felt like crying so much, and I knew I should, but I couldn't. Not then, and not even after (usually, if I can't cry when something happens, I cry when I look back on it). I felt my heart break when he fell into my arms in tears, but I couldn't cry. And last night, he and I talked for hours on subjects very very close to my heart and that I ALWAYS cry about...but I couldn't cry then either. Not a single tear.
At first, I thought maybe it was because I was finally happy after all the crying with Andrew...but that doesn't explain why i can't cry when I'm NOT happy. The only other time in my life where I've been unable to cry was when I was still taking my antidepressants.
I don't know why this is happening, and I don't like it. I don't feel human. ...Of course, I never feel human, but...I don't know...I feel so cold. I know I have feelings, but I hate that they can't come out. I don't know, is it wrong of me to be afraid that i can't cry? Should I just be happy? Rah.
