History Of Mental Health Issues And Cannot Cry. Have Self Defeating Personality Disorder

I am a 26 year old white male from Australia. I have a history of mental health issues; possible depression among other factors, one of them is I have an inability to cry. I get upset and emotionally sad like anyone else but I am virtually completely unable to produce the correct overflow tears when the situation warrants. I have a personal history of having been bullied at school and having been sexually assaulted at some point during my school years. I have a strong bitterness and I also have what is probably some form of self-defeating personality disorder, if that is an appropriate diagnosis.

Hi
Most probably you are having a depressive disorder.You should better have a consultation with a psychiatrist.There you will get a counselling by psycologist.From that they will find out what exactly is wrong with you. In some cases you will be fine by only counselling alone.If not possible they might add some drugs on your regimen and give some excercises to perform.You will be fine by a regular follow up.
Hope this may help you
thanks.
