Hi VioletLynx, I feel the same way you do, totally numb. Nothing affects me anymore, even if someone hurts me in some or other way. I am at the point where I don't know what I want to do with my life. I'm actually still relatively young (24) and just finished studying, but it's like something was taken from my soul, I just know it, it's like an empty feeling. It's so bad that I have no passions in life at all anymore, and I don't know what I'm going to do with my life, because I have no love now for the stuff I've been studying for, for six years! I am so lost. It's just so weird, I feel no love, empathy, compassion, happiness or unhappiness, sadness, hate, or any feelings whatsoever, and I was never like this until a couple of weeks ago. I had depression before that, which started about two years ago, when I failed at trying to have a relationship with a girl whom I loved dearly. The funny thing is, I don't even love her anymore, at all. As a matter of fact, if she had to meet me again, I would probably chase her away, which really makes me feel like such a monster because she is such an amazing person. I think it is because I never got help for my depression early, and I dealt with my emotions in my own incorrect way, blocking them out and suppressing them until I feel nothing anymore. I no longer have any desire to become healthy, find a girlfriend, start a career, get married, have children, own a house, a car, acquire wealth - I just want nothing. I realised this when I hit rock bottom a couple of weeks ago and I asked myself - what do you want in life - answer: nothing.
