How often do you actually cry?

[emptybench]

Daily. Sometimes all day long, but in general before sleeping. It's been months since it began, but I'm still able to work, somehow.
About being empty, there was a week in which I was very busy and stopped feeling anything, didn't cry; felt like a robot, which was worse than my sadness. Not sure if it's the same as emptiness, but it was scary.

I physically can't cry (nerve damage affecting my eyes), but I probably would quite regularly if I could

An island never cries.

I stopped crying a long time ago, I used to cry a lot and now I just don't. I still struggle from bad depression, just it seems no matter how hard I try I can't cry to get the sadness out.

Interestingly enough, I've been crying quite a bit lately. Doesn't take a whole lot to make it happen, either. Feels like my sensitivity is coming back.

Crying for me is a warning sign that I am depressed and not thinking or feeling clearly. I'll watch emotional movies just to feel something again, or take some personal time. Been numb before and it was so painful I do not want to go back.

I cry when i get emotional or when haunted by past memories of Love. Sometimes i feel that i have no more tears left. I feel crying is a sort of relief to let go all the sadness out of your mind.

I never cry for some reason. The most that happens is I'll get a lump in my throat and it seems like I want to cry but it doesn't happen.

I cry inside every day.

For the species that we are. For what we could be, but what we have become.

We are a disgrace.

I cry sometimes when my depression gets worse.. I have depression.. And it's been four years since I had depression... And I still have it.... It gets worse and worse.. And everytime it gets worse, I cry.. But lately, I have been numbed by this growing depression and I sometimes don't feel anything.... Sadness is a part of who I am now.... To me, happiness is impossible to find... That is one of the reasons why cry..

i feel as if i'm about to ball my eyes out but i just can't cry. I'm just sad all the time and i can't find any hope in sight. I try to keep myself positive but my depression and anxiety can never let that be. I hope every single person who struggles with these issues finds a way to overcome it one day.

I've been battling depression for a long time and I used to cry almost every day during my early 20s. But I tried to hide it as much as I could. I think it's twice embarassing if you are man. For most people, we are not supposed to cry, specially in front of others. I even avoided mentioning it to my therapists.
