No emotions

I used to feel things, like happiness and excitement and love, but it all just went away. The world feels so cold and numb now, I don't know what to do. I don't even get sad anymore, it's just nothing... Why did this happen?

Kinda glad u mentioned that, cuz I been having some like that too.
idk it's like I have absolutely no emotion.. to anything. unexplainable.
my frenz say they've had dayz like that too, but not the same.

Yeah, I've heard some people mention it and I've heard songs about it, but I don't get why it happens. Could it be that the brain shuts down emotions when you get too depressed or something?

hmmm..maybe? disassociative behavior??

funny,but that is what I feel too...After explosion of emotions,i feel drained,unable to feel..life is just daily "have to" thing,like an automaton ,just to complete an assignment...
may be too tired,exhausted or idk....hope to come out of this,because even anger is better then numbness

That's how I started self harm, I figured pain is better than nothing...

Hmm, I have times like this- it's like I feel like a robot- I'm better on Prozac- so it could be related to depression- maybe some days you're just so numb with depression there's nothing left to feel.

hardest part is to pretend to be happy for family,workplace.I feel like an actor sometimes ,convincing people in my happiness and untouchability.And amazing thing is that it works,people around me say "you are so sure of yourself,so confident,....life is spoiling you..."
But I guess i 'd rather look confident ,then hurt.The only problem is they confuse my silence for ignorance,my self defensive talk for sarcasm..Only ones ,who know me close enough know that it is just an appearance.
sorry,didn't mean to steal your thread CaptainKirk
I hope you'll find your way out of that swampy feeling,Captain. I'm going to put my favorite music on and work out
best wishes and feel better

I know exactly how you feel. I used to feel like an actor too- I still do from time to time- I never feel like its ok to be down or upset- like people get weirded out by that because they're not used to seeing me that way. Sometimes that makes me upset too, it's like, well EXCUSE ME for being sad and depressed, I didn't mean to bother you! . .. sheesh.

No, that's exactly how I feel too. I figure nobody really knows me, and it makes the world feel so empty. I guess I'm a great actor though...

i look at my H and think "you really don't get me?or you pretend not to get me ?" and I don't know which thought hurts more.I gave up trying to explain to him that I have to feel connection with him,whatever ,,long story,bottom line I find myself numbly giving up on fight for happiness.
please,find a way to get out of the vortex of indifference and numbness!,it destroys everything and kills whatever feelings we have left.Do anything possible:talk,interact,play a role,just do not seclude yourself,it is selfdestruction .

Going through the same thing.

I don't know what started it. I suspect that it's our stress that causes it. Otherwise, we are too deep in our comfort zone that we don't feel empathetic of others.
