    Searching for a hobby has made things worse

    My T suggested a couple sessions ago that I should try to find a hobby. She said having a hobby would create some amount of purpose and meaning in my life because right now I currently have none of those things. I don't have a purpose for being alive, I don't see any meaning in my life or in...

    Difficulties with crying

    Hi. I don't know why but I don't cry. I mean I really can't cry. This makes it hard for me because sometimes I really want to cry and I can't, which doesn't sound like a problem, except it just makes me feel even more stuck because I can't even get my tears out.
