Is it normal that i feel completely emotionless?

6 Comments

I have no emotions when it comes to my husband and even my children. I don't seem to care about their problems. I just wish they would leave me alone. I struggle every day with trying to not let them see this. Doing a pretty good job most of the time, but my oldest child is dealing with anxiety disorder and depression, and I am finding it hard to be sympathetic,even though I know I should be. Do I have a medical problem that can be treated?

    It is your way of living what makes you feel that way... there's no partner, friend or familiar that shares what you are truly thinking... so you give up easily... BTW, it is like a balance... you, almost perfect... your son, the absolute opposite... relax... It happens a lot around you, it is just that you do concern and want to have an opinion :1

    Forgive me for asking, but are you depressed? I've been rather depressed for a long time and I've notice that it's sometimes hard for me to care/feel sometimes.

    Maybe you just don't like responsibility but your kids didn't ask to be born! So plough on through until they are old enough to leave and you can get your nose into a good book.

    I do know how you feel ... a lot of it is trivial nonsense that I feel isn't worth bothering about but these trivialities can mean a lot to kids so we parents have to sort it out for them. Even to be on their side means a lot to our kids as they know there is someone they can always rely on.

    It probably doesn't matter so much to your husband coz he's used to your ways but you have to keep pretending for your kids' sakes :o(

    Its up to you if you want to see a doctor about it. If you truely have no emotion then it wont bother you that you have no emotion. If you see it intefering with your life then maybe its time to see if it can be treated. If you cant feel happiness either then thats probablly not good because life without happiness isnt fun. Some questions you might want to ask yourself is have you always been this way? If not then it could be a mental illness or some negative life experance that made you this way. If you have always been this way then it could just be part of your personality to be this way.
