Is it normal that i am emotionally dead?

44% Normal
15 Comments

I am absolutely apathetic towards everything. My mom says I'm depressed. But I really don't think so. I don't feel depressed, I don't feel happy, I just feel bored. I don't have the desire to feel emotion because I think they're petty and pathetic. I think existence is dull and mundane and I have considered suicide just to stop the boredom. I don't ever get excited, disappointed, or anything really other than just bored. Is this normal?

    If you have seriously considered suicide, then you can not possibly be content. Sometimes, people are so depressed that they want to kill themselves but just don't have the energy/motivation to do so.

    The truth is, life is mundane and probably pointless but it is up to us to not make it so. It is up to you to make your life have meaning and excitement. If that means seeking help and taking anti-depressants, then you should do what ever it takes. I hope that you find an aspect of living that excites and motivates you because without that you will be miserable.

    Please take care and I wish you all the best!

    I think this is normal, personally. I am quite envious of your apathy. :/

    You are depressed, feeling bored and apathetic is part of depression amongst other things.

    I know what you mean! Though I do think you're depressed. I'm really the same way...nothing really makes me happy or sad anymore. It's kind of a going through life "not giving a sh*t". I would say go to a psychologist or something like that, but that's not advice I personally would want someone to tell me, so I'll just say I understand how you feel!

    The definition of pathology is if in interferes with the life of the patient, I would not take medication unless you want to have more intense feelings, this lack of emotion could enable to really focus on career or school work. Most the problems that people have are caused by too much or too intense emotion

    Lol I'm on anti-depressants. When they keep not doing anything the doctor just ups the dose. I honestly don't see how you guys think I'm depressed? I'm laughing at you guys right now. I'm so content with being at this emotionless state.

      It's so obvious that you are depressed! Why are you bothering posting a story if you are so content?

    Suicidal thoughts=depression. You should seek help-maybe antidepressants would give you a boost to enjoy things.

    How long have you felt this way? You are definitely depressed. See a therapist.

    it is not depression!I have the very same condition of apathy towards anything..its like a never endless horizontal line which doesnt move for nothing...I thought I was depressed but Im not..simply dont feel nothing for anything..dead inside..watching other people getting nervous about stuff or expressing happyness,,its just weird for me..I know it sound selfish but you can play emotional games with others..and you gonna be the winner all the time;)
