I have heard some people say that they haven't lacrimated in years. Is this at all healthy?
How often do you cry?

I hadnt cried in years, because I was simply never down. On acid I cried, it was the first time I had been down in a while. It was only for a brief duration, and I sorted a lot out. I feel great again.
No crying for me really. Very very rarely, once a year maybe.

I don't think I've joyously cried... well maybe never. I'd really like to tho. I only have experience crying from a feeling of loss.

Monthly. Mostly from bouts of depression. I do cry out of happiness, though, not very often.

I haven't cried in years even though I have really bad depression and I feel like crying at times I can't. I once tried to force myself to cry to see if I would feel better afterwards but I couldn't.

In last times I catch me crying about beauty. Beautiful songs will make me cry (for example:The Dandy Warhols with 'The Last High'; or Yello with 'To the Sea', I love it), or TV-documentations about the beauty of nature often push the tears into my eyes.

Last time that I cried like a baby was on a shroom trip about 6 months ago, it was a roller coaster trip, I went from laughing to crying every 5 minutes while listening to Pink Floyd's Echoes (best of). I had so much emotion that had been building up inside of me that I just had to let it all out, I had to let go of everything, and it felt so good afterwards, I felt calm and relieved.
I think it can definitely be healthy to cry once in a while, instead of keeping it all inside.
I also get a few tears when I watch some emotionally intense movies, last ones were Mar Adrento and Collision. I've learned to stop refraining myself from expressing my emotions, there's really no shame in crying!

If your refering to anytime tears well up in my eyes......weekly.
Most of my tears are tears of joy/happyness.
From music or movies to random joyfull things in my life, seeing my grandson or watching my puppy play.
Sometimes the joy/happyness can be almost overwhelming. It feels like my chest wants to explode, like a volcano about to erupt inside me.
I hardly ever cry out of sadness or depression anymore.

Me too. It's quite liberating. Growing up a man and being taught not to cry is unhealthy. It is also a hard thing to un-learn......but well worth it IMO

For the past few months I cry almost every day, not always cuz of sadness but out of joy as well, and beauty. When I do cry out of sadness it's usually not about me.

I cry almost every time I do mushrooms because I'm being overwhelmed by what's happening out there. But I still cry when I'm feeling overemotional and then feel way better and in peace. Crying has great therapeutic properties if done right, meaning not the superficial kind of cry, I could never get it, but the sincere and from deep inside one. No matter the reasons, cause they can vary from huge to goofy.
