Yea, I can see how it is a state one would not want to fall into, but it is what it is. Those feelings are there for a reason so you just need to keep probing to find the underlying reasons for those uncontrollable emotions, and to work from there. It takes time and persistence to move through.
Yes kind of apathy I guess, and I get depressive feelings and destructive feelings...though I find the destructive feelings a bit more disturbing, because I have never been the type that likes to cause any harm to others.

Also since I know what caused my PTSD and I know what I was depressed about before that and all I think I know the underlying reasons...its just knowing any of that does not really help, because I still feel the same and still get set off. I mean I guess I get into a certain state sometimes when I get set off and sometimes i worry I won't be able to return from it basically. I mean sometimes I just feel really anxious and on edge for a bit and may have a hard time controlling myself and end up hitting things or whatever...but sometimes it goes beyond that into kind of extreme apathy, or something to that effect. I feel this would be easier if these things were easier to describe.

Maybe there is some other underlying thing though, not sure though.
