I will stop posting constantly soon, I promise. Just really trying to get some clarity.

Can you help try to provide clarity. I don't know what is normal for people in relation to emotions and feelings and what is not. I don't know if I am looking for 'feelings' that don't exist or that I simply don't feel.

People have talked about being emotionally numb but I didn't think at first that this applied to me because I feel like I am always about to burst into tears and often have to stop it and I laugh at tv and if someone says something funny.

But this week my T has had me pay attention to thoughts and feelings that happen at those spontaneous crying times and most times there is nothing I really feel except sad and like crying. There are thoughts, but and I could tell you what feeling would go with it, but I don't "feel" anything other then sad.

Do people in actually FEEL various emotions as a general rule or do all feelings really just have a happy and sad and people know how to label more then that based on what is going on in their thoughts?

I hope to heck that made sense!
