can you make yourself cry?

i used to say i cant but i just did it and i did it very well.

i shoudl be an actress.

 

now i realize that all that fake crying making me literally wanna cry.

 

not in the sense of faking sadness but in the sense that it's all to easy to bring to mind so much there is to be genuinely grieved about. also those heart warming kinds of incidents that turn out right inspite of impossible odds and oppression, the tears of 'joy' kind of thing, that are also tears of sadness because of the odds being stacked against them. so yah it's very possible to make myself cry thinking about things like that.

 

All I have to do is think of a day in my childhood. Surprised it hasn't institutionalized me!

 

me too. but since im on antidepressants i cant cry too much anymore so when i can actually MAKE myself cry for the first time ever, feels weird.....

 

I have to poke myself in my eye.

 

heeeehehe when i was younger.. id sit on my bed and practice crying lol.. but .... now when i cry i let loose... i look so stupid when i cry.. but i dont care.. when i cry.. its usually for a good reason... when i yell my eyes tear up... weird....

 

Actually, I think it's relatively easy for me to make myself cry. All I have to do is think about certain things.

 

i can do it without thinking of sad stuff

 

I made myself cry once.
I was living without emotions for so long, I just stared at the full moon for an hour until I wept a bit.
Felt a little less empty, but still there was a void...

 

in an instant and at length ....i have a thousand things i can dredge from my memory ,,,,..it would never have to be fake!....i cry every day! .i have seen the valient fall and remember them all!

 

yes, i can make myself cry, just haveta think of something sad, and it out pours the tears

 

I'm on an anti-depressant, but I still feel all emotions. I just don't get the over-whelming depression and anxiety I used to get. Now I react normally to things instead of over-react.
