Tears

I cry while on antidepressants. Not randomly but in response to sad and emotional things.

It’s strange. I first noticed it when I watched the movie La Vita Bella.

When I stopped taking lexapro I don’t think I cried anymore.

Now that I’m on something else, I’ve cried multiple times this week alone.

To The Breakfast Club and to Detachment.

These are sad movies but still – my reaction is different than without the medicine.

It’s weird. It’s not bad though. Just different.

I can stop it too, but I don’t shame myself – I just feel it and let it go.
