Hello Neirin,

This can be part of the depression symptoms. When things get overwhelming the brain will kind of shut down into what I call, 'Robot mode.' Feeling nothing and having no feelings but it is a way for the brain to cope at that particular time. Feelings can return but often there is anger to start off with, if this happens with you, you need to allow yourself to feel those feelings. Another possibility is that it is actually anxiety making you feel nothing as anxiety can mask all other feelings. Talking about it can help. You may need to go back to your doctor if your symptoms are getting worse.
