i have a problem...

lately i've been going through a lot of emotional stress [hardly more than average high school drama, finals, pressure, and family] and i really need to cry--you know, let it out and everything--because i know that i'll feel alot better afterwards. so, i've tried almost everything: thinking about everything bad thats been going on, watching sad movies... but even the Lion King, which always made me cry before, didn't even make me tear. i feel like i've lost the ability.

is this bad?

much loves,

hillbill

thanks Lilly. thats so sweet.
& as for your question, im not on any meds. 2 years ago, in 7th grade, i took Zoloft for my depression. but, long story: at camp that year i met [one of] my bestfriend and she made me feel so special & valued that my parents no longer felt the need to give me medication or let me see my therapist. so, they quit treatment altogether, and i was better until now. and now, my parents won't get me help when i feel like i need it most..
yeah. pretty much that.

Hi phobia,
I replied to your post in the pain forum, and was just wondering if in that post you were really referring to yourself and not your friend? Also it is often a symptom of depression to have difficulty with physically expressing your emotion( eg cry). It is called a flat affect. I really do hope you are able to find some help for your troubles, and that your parents take it seriously.

Best wishes,
kurt
