Crying

I read over and over about people like us crying a lot. I’ve never been able to, as far back as I can remember. It’s not that it bothers me so much . I just don’t understand it. I was just told my favorite fur baby died this morning. Not a tear. Not much feeling. In fact almost a feeling of relief , one less thing to have to care about. I can feel my mother watching me for something. I guess I’ll have to give her some kinda reaction so she’ll feel I’m grieving.
Kinda sick huh.

Everything I do is for someone else or because I'm "supposed" to do it but nothing that has to do with my own wants and needs seems important enough to me to prioritize.

I know logically that I'm supposed to care about myself. Care what I eat or how healthy I am but I just...don't.

How do I change this?
