Roll Call 73

Need to ask you guys a question.
Fairly often I get this feeling of having no emotions, like kind of blank, and I don't feel like talking and my face feels like it has no expression. When I do talk it all comes out in one tone and I can't put any feeling into it.
My psychiatrist wrote that I have 'blunted affect', does this sound like what that is? Does anyone else get this? It lasts for a few hours or a few days. I don't feel depressed when it happens, I'm not sad or tearful, just kind of blank.

I can't believe how fast this day is going by. I have to leave soon and I'm still in my pjs. Guess I should get dressed.
Made appts with my t and my pnp since I missed the last ones due to snow. I feel accomplished lol. That's all I have

This happens to me too and my pnp said the same thing, blunted affect.

Thanks guys, I never knew what it was. Like I feel so much nothing that I can't even force myself to put a smiley face in a text because it just feels wrong.
How long does yours last?

Hallucinating whispers, very annoying

Im afraid of that too, that if I leave my apartment they'll take me to the state hospital.

Angelique67 · Feb 16, 2016 at 03:02 PM

Now it sounds like my one downstairs neighbor is alone in his apartment. That's not good because he's been screaming and crying about my God knows what for a very long time now. He called me Judas and traitor. (????!!!!!) And now they've left me alone in this wing with him??? So what, that he can try to burn the building down to kill? And I run out of here in a panic and then they could commit me to the state hospital??????? This is another very upsetting day.

Angelique67 · Feb 16, 2016 at 03:03 PM

The rain is coming down in sheets. Only nice thing about this day. Unless they drag me off.

I am like this all the time now and have been for years(blunted affect has been on my records for ten years)... I can fake having a bit more emotion but I can only do that for so long. It's that being blank, nothing there... It makes me feel not quite human.

I'm sorry to hear that atypical. Mine comes in waves, periods of time like this. I'd hate for it to be constant.

We all seem to be having the worst days. I think you should make the next roll call. I feel so sick

Angelique67 · Feb 16, 2016 at 04:16 PM

The police left, leaving a very upset neighbor alone in the wing with me. He has been spraying some aerosol that freaked me out because I think he'll set fire to this place and I'll die. I'm so afraid. Oh dear God.

Feb 16, 2016 at 04:20 PM

you'll be okay. You would smell the smoke before fire reached you. Try not to dwell on the worst case scenario. I can understand your fear.
