Hi,

I wonder if people here cry each day because of Dp/DR. Because I tend to cry almost each day because of that. When I recall my past year, I can cry many hours, and I just go in front of the hospital where I got my delivery, or my boyfriend talk to me about my delivery, and I cry. I can't help myself. When I don't cry I feel a complet robot without emotions. When people are good for me, and reassuring, or saying things like I will recover, I cry.

I just don't know if I am the only one. Is it a sign of depression? PSSD? just because of DP/DR?

i feel like crying all day...

but cannot cry at all...

 

[dreamcatcher]

I cry every day, sometimes cause of how i feel,self pity.......

...when anyone is really nice to me..... :?

.....when i watch the kids play.....

.....watching sad stuff on tv....

and because of the constant thought of never getting over this.......

.....its really horrible, but as you say it shows some emotion and that and anger are all i have at the moment

i would love to be able to cry, but all i can muster is a stifling sadness which can't seem to form it's way into tears. i don't know what the deal is with that...it's like i can't externalize my emotions or something.

I cry only very rarely. Part of that is pre-conditioning from society - I'm a guy and am not supposed to cry. On the other hand........every now and then I will cry for what at the time seems no apparent reason. Usually when I am alone. Usually when driving actually. I remember it happened one evening last week on the way home from work. And I was SOBBING. Big time cry. Wonder what the people driving around me thought. Big boy in a old beater LandCruiser bawling his eyes out....

Firstly I want to say how it saddens me to know so many of us are in deep pain.
When I first got dp I cried every day,so much that my eyes would be red and swollen.I could hardly see at all.
Lately I'm having a major relapse,so there have been a good deal more tears than usual.I cry out of frustration,despair,hoplessness.

Crying can be a sign of depression.Personally I find living with chronic dp extremely depressing.

To those who cry each day I hope soon the tears will turn to laughter and for those who feel the need to cry I hope soon the flood gates will open up.

All the best,cheers Shelly

I can't cry. I want to so bad sometimes because of all the anguish and fright and pain, but I can't. I have no emotion for that anymore, I guess.

Tonight I cry alligator tears for you, I will take away all your fear.
The more you need me, the more you're gone. Just know that I'm here.

Painfully,
Grant with an "R"

Young Grant (with an "R") - try.
Different things work for different people. But it's in you. You can do it. Sometimes just thinking of a sad situation can do it for me. Other times, like I say, it just comes out of the blue. Maybe the one thing that works most often for me is to think of how long I have been this way. What I have missed because of this. What the people closest to me have missed because I am this way.

Crying can be many things, including a release. So much frustration, so much fear, so much.......anger. A good cry can help you let go of some of that.
I hope you can find a way to cry.

Yes. I cry a few times a week. It's the only thing that brings my anxiety to a level at which I can function at. I think in some ways storing up emotion inside aggravates DP and causes us to turn further inward.

 

[grant_r]

Yes, sc, I will try. And I wanted to mention right now how much your avatar resembles you- in a good way... that's what I now associate with you. A sheepish grin, but a powerful and all-knowing presence. It's pretty funny, actually. But yes, I will try.

I think I can, I think I can...

why would you cry everyday??????????????

 

[JasonFar]

Since when is an ape an all-knowing creature?

 

[Guest]

I picked that avatar because he reminds me of what I wish I was: soft, friendly, not particularly bright.........and not DP.

 

[JasonFar]

Soft, friendly? That thing? He'd probably eat you alive if you were thrown in his cage. :twisted:
