How is it I can't feel anything? I have voluntary job it feels like nothing to me right now, I have a boyfriend I feel nothing, a happy or sad movie barely has any reaction, I'm going my gcses in English and Maths at college and don't feel any emotion or euthusasim. So then I ask people for help they all say say do things you enjoy, find something you will enjoy. Completely impossible when I feel absolutely nothing So then I finally got angry with my boyfriend last as he was like take meds and the you would be able fight depression and I was like they all make feel numb/disconnected no emotion so if I'm already feeling like that I don't want to taking more pills and still feeling like it.
But I suppose the good little positives is that the other day I did cry and show feelings whilst watching warhorse. But that's a rare feeling. Right now you could social work access course and my reaction will be nothing, you could tell me that my brothers getting married (not really just example) I can't feel enjoy or sadness. Will I always be heartless bastards? |

Feeling numb and not enjoying anything are definitely symptoms of depression.

 Depression has driven a wedge between me and my feelings. My ability to feel, to experience emotions is impaired.I don't see it as "heartlessness". Rather, it is as if no psychic "fuel" is feeding into my center of emotions. It was good you could cry during Warhorse. It was even good you could get angry at your boyfriend. If your depression recedes, you may find you have greater access to your emotions.

Anhedonia can be a symptom of depression. For some anhedonia occurs as a result of the use of anti depressants - it can be a side effect of anti depressants. It appears that anhedonia can even be a condition itself.

Diet and exercise helps slightly in terms that if I eat sugar its like I get a sugar and then a sugar low due to increased insulin. So I have slowly it it out of my life, CBT I'm not going down that route, counselling I'm seeing someone in a week and I'm also seeing my SA counsellor in the new year.
Recently my best mate took an overdose of pills and I usually would be concerned for her and jump on the first train to see her and I feeling quite normally emotional but I'm not I simply don't feel anything. My uncles dog sadly got out to sleep recently and normally I would of cried for a little bit but I haven't My other mate lost 3 stone no happy reaction |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
