I hadn't cried in 7 years and decided to do some emotional exercises to make myself cry. So I managed to cry about 4 months ago, haven't been able to since even with my grandmothers death. Might start trying again.

I'm currently battling a burnout. Well, I was at the step just before the burnout. I lost my best friend who died in March, and it really made me fall down the downward spiral.

After that, I used to cry randomly, without reason, or for the most ridiculous reason.

Like, sitting in my 4 years old son's bedroom and tidying his books, and I'd start bawling, wondering how the hell did I end up having this little guy in my life, and what did I do to deserve it.

That was one of the... Normal days.

Fortunately, I asked for help before it was to late. I'm on medication, and things are much, much better now.

I'm quite the sensitive guy and I cry easily, but this was way, way worse that what I'm used to.

    That's an extremely difficult situation to deal with. I'm glad you were able to get some help. It's very easy to spiral down and sometimes you might feel like you deserve that spiral, getting out can be a real climb.
