hey, there.

i feel so lost? it's like i lost al my emotions. it's like i'm faking them, because i feel empty and tired? i don't even feel sleepiness, i feel. something i cannot explain. i cannot react to things. i don't feel love or compassion or sadness or anything at all, not even anger. i don't even want to die. i feel empty, alone, confused and emotionless.

is this normal? could it be connected to my possible psychosis? thank you for reading and giving input and/or support!

Hello. May I ask, what is your diagnosis. It seems clear you are suffering from major Depression; but remember, that is for a psychiatrist to diagnose. I am unsure how psychosis would cause depression unless of course it pertained to your view of yourself.
Thanks for this!

i'm currently suffering from MDD, anxiety, DPDR, ADHD and i have traits of BPD, which i'll discuss with my new psychiatrist. i was previously diagnosed with paranoid delusions.

I keep coming back to this and rereading it but I can't find the words to reply like I want to.

Normal, no. I don't think it's normal to feel that way.

But relatable, definitely.

Wish I could give you a quick fix; I can't. You have to wait it out - it will pass and things will change for the better. Don't struggle with it; let it flow by, like images when you meditate. Try not to dwell on the thoughts of emptiness. We're all in this together and sometimes life is harder than at other times. Keep going.

I can relate. I have suffered treatment resistant depression in my life more than once. I know what it is to feel 'lifeless' as you call it. My recommendation is to describe this to your psychiatrist. There are some treatments out there. They may be invasive but they have a good success rate. I refer to ECT and TrMS

I saw that in your post and it was such a kind thing to say so I'm sending the same right back at you. I'm glad you're able to share what's going on. I hope it's helping to be here. It's a good place to be when others elsewhere can't quite relate.

I don't know if it's a problem for you but be as open and as honest as you can with your new psydoc. As it was told to me I'll tell to you: They really do want to help and they can but they need your help to do that. Being open can be tough sometimes but we really do have to trust these people. They need to know in detail what's happening with you so they can properly plan a course for back to feeling better. That can effectively happen. It may be stressful but so is trying to fix anything that matters. [you may already know all that but I felt it was too important not to mention]

You write like a thoughtful reflective person Angelicwings...I offer my luck and best wishes. I'm sure all who answered you do as well. It all helps I think.

Have that lovely day Aw and cheers to you too. Bye
