Feeling no emotion whatsoever?

10 Comments

I seem to be very flat and see-through lately. I sleep whenever I have "free time" because it feels like a waste of time, taking in so much stimulus if I can't do anything with it. Being awake annoys me slightly.

I exercise. I feel nothing. I eat. I feel nothing. I do homework. I feel nothing. I smoke a cigarette. I feel nothing.

My uncle dies, I feel nothing. I get an A on a paper, I feel nothing. My car gets towed, I feel nothing. I fail a test with a 20%, I feel nothing.

I feel like I'm floating in a grey void where nothing can excite me or harm me. My only learned response is fear, I am afraid most of the time, but only this.

Is this depression or something worse?

    You might have a neurological disorder called "Derealization" which affects your perception. I remember this because my friend developed the same characteristics and was diagnosed with it. It's fairly uncommon though. Wikipedia it and see a doctor perhaps. Goodluck.

    Whatever you do, do NOT start drinking. You become an alcoholic and die of liver problems.

    I'd be the same way if not for anime/manga.It actually helps me express my moods better[no clue why] Ever since I moved away, i lost the energy to smile when i don't feel like it, and laugh at jokes that aren't funny...But i don't actually care anymore.Hell, i don't even care about the f im getting on my report card!

    you might have depression. depression isn't necessarily sadness at all like most people think. It has much more to do with apathy.

    It's just a phase, I went through it for a day or two at one point. In the mean time, talk to someone about it.

    i have the same problem i don't think that i'm capable of feeling anything except fear i also sleep most of the time, i don't think i can feel pain either i some times cut my self just to see if i could feel but i had a long history of depressions and anger and the result is that i'm stuck in between , i asked a friend once and she told me that i need a big change in my life in order to get out of this hell hole i personly don't know what to do maybe there is a way out but i just can't see it .

    I looked it up. Its actually called depersonalization. Dpersonalization= A distortion of ones own feeling. Derealization= A distortion of the external world around you. Or you may have have both..who knows..

    You are likely slightly depressed, you might have had this your entire life, or it may have started recently, but if the only emotion you feel is fear then you are likely depressed. Sleeping on your free time is another obvious sign of depression. Trust me when i say it is easily treatable, just go see a doctor you trust, maybe a low dosage of anti depressions will be the little kick you need to get out of your situation.
