Do any of you feel like your thoughts and feelings are completely disconnected? I think sad thoughts but can't feel sad - it is kind of spooky. On 40 mg of celexa.
Anyone have this experience?

I'm that way most of the time. I'm on Lexapro right now. I was on Celexa last year. There was a year in between when I wasn't taking any SSRI, but I still had that experience most of the time.

My psychiatrist told me that I repress my emotions, but I told her I don't actually FEEL any emotions... so I don't know what I'm repressing. I have lots of thoughts, but not many identifiable feelings. Sometimes talking to my best friend... really opening up... can bring some emotion to the surface... and sometimes I cry. I get some clarity and I KNOW what I'm feeling. That feels so good... so cathartic. Most of the time, I'm just a thinker, not a feeler, though. I get chaos and discomfort in my mind, but I'm not able to distinguish what my emotions actually are.
