Is this generic worthless? I wanna try wellbutrin again cuz I heard it can make people cry. That actually sounds good to me after being numb for so long.

No, but switching between different sustained release brands of bupropion may not be a good idea if you are sensitive to its effects.

Well I'm not on it right now, but I tried it and found it useless and wondered if anyone had experience with other brand generics. Maybe I just don't respond to bupropion at all.

Probably. The release profile of different bupropion SR brands may be slightly different, but if the Teva brand did absolutely nothing despite an adequate dose, another brand is not likely to be helpful. I would try something else instead.
