I can laugh and smile but straight after I go into a state where I just don't feel, untill the next time I laugh. Things are almost like a cycle. I can't even explain!!! But basically nothing puts me in a happy mood, even though I can laugh in my constant sad one.
I know exactly how you feel. I actually feel the same way almost all the time. In my opinion, I'm pretty sure it is "normal," or at least "normal" in my terms. The thing is, (I'm not saying that you are or aren't depressed; I won't judge you, promise) feeling "numb" and "empty" (like having no feeling inside) are some symptoms of depression. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and this is how I feel, too; most of the time I even find it hard just to smile.
So, Here's the answer in shortened terms... It is okay to feel "numb" sometime, but not as frequently as you are, my dear. You may be depressed (who knows?) but don't worry about this to much. Feel free to message me for help if this wasn't helpful.
Maybe your the kind of person who needs to be productive in order to be happy for something? Try doing something you are too lazy to do, or uncomfortable, hard and complete it.
One of the things i remind myself when i feel down all of a sudden is "happiness isnt gonna knock on your front door and hand itself over to you. You have to chase it, go get it, and pursue it."
