Feels like blue balls
Some people cry because they want attention. Others cry because it's a neurological reflex to expel tears at or over certain things. I cry because it's a release. I just realized that (and to what extent I need that release) because I have not been able to cry since I started on my new anxiety medication, Klonopin (or also known as Clonazepam), which to people don't know is a lot like valium except more concentrated and posessing a longer half-life. Anyway, it's really bothering me. Prior to beginning this medication, I'd been crying one, two, or three times per day. Every day. You'd think it'd feel good to finally not cry at the drop of a hat, right? Actually, it feels a lot like I'd imagine blue balls feels like. I need to cry, I feel like crying, and yet I just...can't...cry.
