It's kind of hard to explain, but, I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. What's difficult about that? I feel numb, emotionally. I know I'm happy. But, I don't feel happy. For the most part, my body feels numb, too.
Dysthymic Depression is long lasting low grade depression. It is not severe, but it can be very long lasting (years).

Feeling numb is a symptom of Borderline.

Since you do have a T, the first question is whether you have told this to the T? It seems to be a psychological issue, so the quality of lubricants is at best marginally important. Facing your divide between knowing that you are happy and feeling happy is an emotional problem; nothing to do with lubricants.
