It's important to not conflate crying with feeling strong emotion. I was clinically depressed for a year and cried a sum total of once during that time.
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoSpeaking of Pixar cartoons, I thought the way that Inside Out presented depression as the absence of both joy and sadness was really telling. I don't know if it's always true, but it seems like often depression doesn't even allow you to feel cathartic sadness, only a miserable numbness.
