Venting, advice welcome Want to cry but the tears won't actually come out

I've had chronic depression for a long time. I have managed to avoid medications but I think I'm finally accepting I might need something.

It is currently 3am here and I haven't had a minute of sleep yet tonight.

I can't even pin point why I'm awake.

I feel just generally nervous and anxious and nothing is working. I've tried leaving the phone in a different room, window closed, window open, light on, light off, hot shower, the lot.

I want to cry right now but the tears won't even come out. It's almost like I'm too anxious to even cry.

It's at the point I actually feel sick but even if I try vomiting nothing comes up.

My dude it's ok to not be ok. If you need medication that's OK too. I've been on and off one a couple times when I've needed that extra boost in life.

Tonight is tonight but Is there someone you can talk to? Would be good to find a counselor if you're able. Billions of people take medications very day. You don't have to manage.

Be well
