I've been losing the ability to feel emotions lately, and now I hardly ever feel them at all. When I do, it's a negative emotion, and it's like a "watered-down" version of what I used to feel. I no longer feel any excitement in doing fun things or receiving good news. For instance, I'm in my school's marching band, and we're going to Oakland to play in the half-time show at the Raiders game in December. We're even going to visit San Francisco afterwards, my most favorite city ever. However, I don't feel excited about this at all. This is just really weird to me, since this is something I'd be going nuts over. I'm thinking, "Playing at the Raiders game is a huge honor for my school! I'll be visiting my favorite city! Why don't I FEEL anything?! Everyone else in the band is excited about it, why am I not?" Is there something wrong with me?

    Not really normal but not abnormal either!? I get what you mean and have experienced similar. Sounds like you've lost your spark a bit - happens to most people at some time in their life. Try to think about all the positives in your life and force yourself to spend some time with people you enjoy spending time with. Try and appreciate the little things (e.g the weather, cloud patterns - whatever floats your boat!?) If this doesn't do anything then maybe your serotonin levels are a bit low so you might be mildly dperessed. Consider how your diet might be affecting your moods etc too. You may be lacking a certain vitamin. I'm sure you can get back to the normal you - good luck! Also, lucky sod going to San Francisco - I am envious.

    I don't have any advice for you but I can tell you that you're not the only one. I feel the same way about everything in life. I too wish I could feel something more, and I don't think it's normal either.
