I may have posted something similar several months ago about this but it seems to be a lot worse now. Like my subject said, I feel nothing... emotionally. Maybe about 5% of the time something will happen and I'll feel extremely sad or extremely happy but 95% of the time if something happens I'll just stare off into space.
For example, I was having a rough day yesterday that would normally beat me down and take the life out of me but instead I was blank. I know how I should feel and because I'm aware of that it scares me a little. I saw my mom crying today and I knew how depressed she was but I just stared at her. I tried to comfort her but honestly, how well can a robot comfort someone? It's not only the numbness that's strange lately... I have no appetite (first time in my life  ) and no interests whatsoever. My days now usually consist of me spinning in my computer chair staring at the walls as they go by. I just wonder if this is a result of my untreated depression from all those years. Can any else relate to something like this?

I went through this nothingness too. I felt absolutely nothing, no anger, no sadness, no happiness just nothing. I couldn't even show emotion when someone was speaking directly too me. I was the robot you spoke of, without feelings of any kind.
This is going to sound very strange, but enjoy it while you can. What is on the other side may not be as beautiful. Be sure to let your pdoc and T know.

Thanks everyone. I actually know what you mean kebsfroggy about enjoying it while I can. I am relieved I don't have to feel the pain I normally do everyday... but it still feels uncomfortable to be numb... if that makes sense.

I was like that for the first 16/17 years of my life.. so shy I held everything in and eventually subconsciously forgot.. Counselors actually made me do emotion recognition, took me a few months to actually feel.. it helped me, not sure how well it would help anyone else

Never been in that state. When it strikes me it always like ANGUISH. Incapoacity to experience pleasure, actual pain and feverish anticipation of even greater pain.
Depression strikes people in different fashions. |
