Inability to cry

2019-06-23 19:14:29
Hi. I have depression, severe OCD, GAD, SAD, agoraphobia, BDD, gender dysphoria and other stuff. It's been more than a year since I cried. I don't understand why I can't cry at all. Even if I am super sad, I just can't let the tears out. It's bothering me too much. I really need a good long cry. I watched sad movies but I feel nothing. I hear sad music but I feel nothing. It's like I'm just empty. What should I do? I'm tired
