If someone askes me how are you? The only thing I would normally say if I'm ok. Right at this moment I feel.... blah, emotionless and I dunno whats making me like this. Its like I don't feel sad, happy, angry with anyone or myself. Maybe it could be my medication still have you ever felt like you don't feel anything. I feel like a robot sometimes. lol

Miss A
I will answer you if you will respect the fact that in this anonymity we are assumed to be peers. I can only answer from my own accessible current experience. Yes I have had the experience of nonfeeling. It was very difficult to describe to the school psychologist whom I had to sneak around to see once before my abusers were tipped off and it cost me big time. Here in this forum you can exchange and accept some info and i assume you have access to a school counselor. Perhaps you ought to try and write for them how you might describe your current nonfeeling in an effort to help yourself. I am assuming here thast you are not under any sort of cultish ritualistic sadistic arrest as you seem to have much access tyo being online. Is it possible that unless there is a lot of noise and cofusion stirred up amongst the good people here that there is not enought feeling to borrow or be with so during quiet times it seems like nonfeeling rather than the peace which it could be? Good luck with this. Respectfully, |

Miss_A, I've felt like that before. Try and motivate yourself to do something, anything, even if you lack any sense of motivation at all. It honestly works.

I've felt like that a lot. If someone asks me "how are you?" the only answer I am generally capable of is "okay," regardless of how I really feel. I've thought that was because I have learned that people who ask that question don't really care about the answer, but I do that when I'm in therapy too, and I know that T actually wants an answer to the question. I think it has more to do with that I'm not in touch with my feelings enough to know how I feel most or all of the time. I really avoid even going there at all.
The blah, emotionless feeling, in my opinion, means that you are disconnected or dissociated from your feelings. It's quite familiar to me. It can be because you are avoiding your feelings (consciously or unconsciously), and can also be related to depression (particularly dysthymia, which is long-standing low-grade depression), or maybe also related to medication that dulls the pain of your depression or anxiety without giving you anything to put in its place.

<font color="blue">Miss_A, maybe it's important to take a chance on yourself, and feel your hurt... you, as I am, are allowed to cry over feeling hurt. My T says if we numb up instead, it leads to our depression, and then also to anger and rage. My T directed my crying for the whole session. I hope you find someone who can help you also... no thinking allowed, just cry over the hurt. </font>

I know that we could examine (infinitely) the source of why we feel the way we feel on any given day....but sometimes I tend to think that our psychies have an unconscious way of protecting us.....I'm trying to trust mine more.....maybe it's ok to feel what I feel...maybe it's just what I NEED to feel at the moment...(Or Don't Need to Feel)....Hang in.......

<font color="purple"> Hello. I do not get time much so I feel good when I do and try not to think about any thing others are thinking and feeling because I do not need to do that and waste my time. jj.
