I can't feel a single god damn thing and it's driving me insane

27% Normal
35 Comments

It's been a year and I still can't feel anything. I can't feel any care, I can't feel any strong opinions about anything. I basically feel like an empty shell. I can't feel any sympathy or care for friends, family. I don't have any sense of morals, or care for morals. It's driving me insane. I want to feel something. Anything. I've started to punch myself just so I'd feel something but even then it feels so distant and unreal. It's like I'm in a constant phase of dissociation and an auto-pilot except it's not from depression because I fucking love myself, have no interest in dying, and basically only care about myself.

I can't relate or connect with human beings and I want SOMEONE out there who is like me and understands me. What's happening to me?

    Maybe you just need something to shake things up in your life. Find a new hobby or something. Or maybe you are a sociopath/psychopath. This is ok, doesn't mean you are evil. You might go to a psychologist or a psychiatrist for some coping strategiest/how to fuction in life. Just don't do anything dumb to feel something (like drugs, self harm or hurting someone).

    I dunno, man, this is Is It Normal. You won't find medical help here. It's mostly just incest and dogfucking around these parts.

      I've taken many new hobbies. Not the problem. I'd never self harm I fucking love myself. Drugs harm my body. I won't hurt someone because I'm not dumb enough to get arrested but if I got away with it and planned it sure.

    you should not listen to these peoples' terrible advice and get help from a psychiatrist who can analyze your situation and perscribe medication. this is not normal at all. sounds like a personality disorder or a chemical imbalance of the brain. take care :)

      Yeah... I thought that. I'm making an appointment with a psychologist right now. Should see her in three weeks. Thanks.

    If you didn't have feelings or cares you wouldn't be asking.

      That's kinda why that's my username. Because I relate to it, yes. Tell me something I don't know.

    Not going insane. You need to make yourself have some social contact every day. A simple walk in neighbourhood and say hello to a passerby is a start. Move. Be more active and get outside and in touch with the world again.

      Lol I run every day. I socialise every day. I'm a huge exercise fanatic and I love the outdoors. I socialise (though it drains me because I don't care about any of them). I have a life. Not what I need. It doesn't make an ounce of difference.

    Lack of empathy for others, knowing right from wrong/lack of a moral compass... You could be a socio/psychopath, but you want so badly to feel?

      Well I don't badly want to feel it's just boring and honestly it's difficult to explain but feeling nothing would drive one mad.

    Are you taking any kind of substances? You can find something to make most things feel better

      It's been happening ever since I was put on tryciclic antidepressants for chemical imbalances but I can't find anything on making people emotionless before so I'm guessing it's just a coincidence.

        Most antidepressants in my experience (xanax, valium etc.) Just make you not give a crap about anything. It gets worse the more you take, You just stop caring what happens to you, what you eat, who you sleep with, etc. It's all just kind of "yeah I guess" Not something id consider a drug of choice

          I take amitryptiline though. But yeah I guess that's kinda what it feels like.

            Yeah that's how most of that stuff I've tried seems to work. Tough to be depressed when you don't give a shit about anything anyway.

              Not depressed personally, I've just had issues with migraines due to night terrors and multiple personalities. Tricyclic antidepressants help with that. But I guess that might be the reason I feel so empty, since I wasn't depressed when I was put on antidepressants so it just voided me completely.

    You hate yourself because you don't do anything. When was the last time you created something? When you're unfulfilled, life feels empty.

      I love myself and life isn't empty. I create things all the time. I'm not suffering from depression at all. I'm very fulfilled.

          I write. It's my hobby. Occasionally create art when I have the time. I go to college. I work. I go to bed feeling tired because I want to sleep. I love life. I'm not depressed.

            Sounds good. Just stop living inside your head. Your problem lies in thinking you have a problem.
