It feels so extremely strange when I feel "nothing". I feel, boring, or bland, and nothing. Is this the feeling of stable? Or the feeling of medicated drone? I feel I am happier now, but I still have my shifts somewhat often, although, sometimes due to underlying issues. I do feel more stable/happy on my correct meds but again, sometimes, I feel nothing, boring, stable...? I am not used to that feeling, so I don't like it. Lol Cannot have it all huh? I want to be high happy all the time but to the point that is safe lol I don't know. lol I am babbling, if anyone even understands this at all.

Stable doesn't feel like "nothing" to me. I feel "bored" sometimes but that's not "nothing". If anything, when I feel "nothing" I'm on the depressive end. When I'm stable, I feel happy, sad, angry, tired, excited, etc. Just not in the extremes I would in mania or depression.

I hear you there, thank you. It is so strange because I still feel like I am a rollercoaster a lot of the time, but at the same time I have only been on my new meds to try but a month. It's been 15 years of trying to figure it out, correct meds, it's tiresome. Sorry, I am side-winding now, but yes, I hear you, I feel bored in the sense that I do not know what to do with myself a lot of the time when I feel "stable" or "bored".

I have felt nothing since April for about 95% of the time. Like you said I wish I could have a manic stage without the crash. Oh well this is better then being suicidal all the time trying to kill myself.

I feel that nothing way too. Not all the time, sometimes i feel better, but a lot of the time my feelings are dampened down. Sometimes it bothers me more than other times. It was bothering me a lot a couple days ago, but today feels ok so far. It's hard to know if that is caused by meds or mild depression, but it definitely sucks. I end up doing extreme stuff to break through and feel something. It's better than extreme depression or feeling suicidal, but it's still not good. I hope you feel better soon. I'm trying to feel more too... I just need to be persistent.
