When it comes to sex I can physical physical pleasure down there but nothing in my head, not a hint of euphoria, not even mildly. Nor can I feel love, a book, not even music. I wrote my pdoc a letter. I plan on giving it to her soon, and we'll move forward with a treatment plan. Not many recover from negative symptoms though.

It is possible. I'm hopeful recovering from negative symptoms. I've had thoughts this week that I countered with some cbt coping skills.
I understand what you mean attaching ideas with emotions. Especially ideas that you feel passionate about or no longer there. Let me know what your pdoc said.
