I don't cry anymore either. My psych says it's a symptom of my depression. I'm not the sad type of depressed, I'm the apathetic type.
A couple of weeks ago when I got some bad news about a friend I cried. It was the first time in a couple of years. It surprised me 'cause I didn't think I still could.
But it was *very* bad news.
Dissociating? I call it a survival mechanism. I also call it 'tuning out' because I can control coming out of it.
Are you overreacting? Maybe a wee bit. But it also seems he is overreacting about your symptoms.
