I cried today
One of my many side effects from my medications is that I have not been able to cry in years. It is like my tears well up and then nothing .... well all that changed yesterday. I cried. It wasnt full on bawling but the tears flowed and it felt good to be able to see and feel my own emotions. Does anyone else find it hard to cry due to mood stabilizers? My mental health nurse has said she has never come across it before.

Re: I cried today
I haven't cried since I've been on meds, but, I've not been really upset by anything drastic. Last year when my brother first had his accident I'd wake up crying and sobbing.

Re: I cried today
Mr shaz hasn`t cried since he has been on meds,
he is not mood stabilizers
only anti depressants and anti anxiety meds

Re: I cried today
@greenpea When I was on mood stabilisers I felt just like you do. I couldn’t cry, though I desperately wanted to. My meds have changed now, and so the tears flow, exhausting, but good.

Re: I cried today
@Maggie that is good to know I was beginning to think I was the only one. I used to be a cry baby growing up .... cry at the drop of a hat .... so not being able to cry actually is upsetting.

Re: I cried today
@greenpea I have hear a lot of people say they can’t cry on mood stabilisers, and it is upsetting. Partly crying is a release, so if it’s not being able to be used, where do you release what crying would?

Re: I cried today
@Maggie it does make you wonder doesnt it.... so many nasty side-effects of mood stabilizers and anti psychotics .... I don't know what the answer is.
