Emotions?
What is that thing? I can't remember the last time felt anything. I can't remember the last time I laugh because I really wanted to. I can't remember the last time I cried. I'm just empty. I feel that feelings, emotions aren't made for me. Am I some kind of freak? A monster that has no feelings?
I just want answers. I just want to have emotions again.

If there is any english mistakes, sorry.

Dear Notagooduser,

I'd still call it a feeling: You feel that feel nothing. Feelings and emotions are just like temperature. Some substances have quicker rise and fall in temperature and others take time to change it. Same applies to humans as well and there are situations and circumstances which change the emotional flow in us. You are not a monster at all, because you still care and you still feel...

Alfred.Mayor I am so sorry you are feeling sad. You see you do have feelings. I understand you want to have good feelings. Do you have anyone you can talk with? Are you on any medication? Sometimes these things can help. When I am depressed I feel empty. You are not a freak or a monster. Stay here a while things will get better.

Hi notagooduser, unfortunately, I know how you are feeling. I feel like that too many times. I can tell you this, it will eventually lift. You have to find something, even if its something small, to help yourself, meaning, a picture of a baby, a puppy, if you think they are cute, a snowflake (sorry, I hate snow, but not everyone does) a rainbow, just something to try to lift yourself. Go for a walk, its free, talk to someone, if you have a pet, they like to listen, and give a lot of free kisses, my dogs always make me feel better, journal, (I like to do that) get it out, that always helps me. The feelings will come, if you let them. I'm not saying you aren't letting them. Just don't give up, keep trying many different things. You are by no means a monster or freak. I hope I helped a little. Like I said, this happens to me a lot, I hate feeling empty, like, I'm a blob, but I at least "feel" something. Even if it is "empty" its something. I think you will feel better soon.

Dear gma, I am feeling all right, yes there are challenges but then these are opportunities too, to grow and expand and explore within and without. However I think you got confused with my response as it had quoted text from the post of NotAGoodUser as well. I appreciate your concern and thank you for the offer to help me; it really means a lot .

I know how you feel, i feel almost numb about everything. I can't cry anymore, rarely able to laugh because of depression. I take several meds and i wonder if that is why. I hope you do feel better in the future and express your concern with someone who knows what your talking about even if it means a t or doctor.

You're not a freak. I read on your profile page that you suffer from borderline personality disorder, and from what I know of it those times of feeling numb are fairly typical of the condition. You still have emotions, they are just disconnected right now. This isn't forever.
