HOn ~ When people are depressed for a long period of time, they become sort of "numb" to their emotions. NOthing seems to phase them. Nothing! I lived in that world for a long time.  If someone died, I felt numb. I couldn't even cry. I sympathized (sort of) for the family, but I didn't FEEL anything. That made me feel guilty. And it made me feel alien.
Because of that (and many other things) I ended up in the mental ward of a hospital for awhile. And I was glad. I shouldn't have waited so long to check myself in. It was the best thing I ever did for myself.
You're depressed -- you need a therapist.  YOu need someone to talk to and get to the bottom of what's been "getting to" you for so long. It might be painful at first, but it's worth it. Please get the help you need.
If you cannot afford therapy, then at LEAST see your medical doctor. He CAN help you. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
