So I was just sitting here thinking about last year and wonder if anyone else ever expierenced this and look back on it and find it odd.
Last year I had the mother of all episodes with psychosis. During the psychosis, I remember not feeling one emotion. I remember thinking I should be feeling a certain way but I could never actually feel it. I just remember being paranoid and wanting to escape but not having anywhere to escape to. I never shed one tear, never felt happy, mad, sad, glad, angry, etc. nothing.....but before and after was endless tears and anxiety.... i just wonder how that is possible to have absolutly no emotion for more than a week.....

Oh heck, I think I felt like that for years.
 I was SO severely depressed that I just plain "shut down." Nothing affected me at all. It was pretty darn awful.That was when I was in my 20's -- MANY years ago. LOL I finally got on an antidepressant and started therapy, and pretty soon I fell apart at the seams! At one point, I commited myself to a mental hospital for 2 weeks. That was the best thing I could have done for myself.  I really needed that.I've been on an antidepressant for probably 40 years now, and I"m no longer numb or 'emotionless.' I can cry with the best of them. I HOPE you're seeing a therapist. If not, I would recommend that you make an appointment with one. You won't regret it. Therapy sure made a difference for me. I wish you the very best. Please take care! God bless. Hugs, Lee |

It's hard not feeling. I understand and it is hard knowing that because I do't give my kids what they need. it has been years sine I shed a tear. You are definately not alone.

I think I sit on the edge of that cliff. Not feeling. It comes and goes. I like the feel of being numb but with two small children, I have to be aware. I've never experienced a week of nothingness. I've had my days though. A week is a bit long and something you don't want to overlook.
