Have I lost my emotions?

[Lindsey14]

I have a serve disconnect with feelings/emotions. Im scared I dont feel them anymore....I'm scared I can't feel love or any of my emotions...this normal with anxiety or depression?

I felt a dis-connect to everything that I figured out was a medication side effect. Are you on any meds. that could maybe cause this?

[Lindsey14 in reply to Hidden]

I am, but i stopped taking them, and just started taking them again a few days ago

I feel terrible, as I've been in your position many times. Mental illness has way too many side effects that aren't explained properly. When I'm sometimes really depressed, I feel like I don't have any emotions. I would recommend speaking to your doctor/ mental health services for maybe a different treatment. Hope you're well and I'm so sorry you have to go through this x

I find sad to say I can feel the same, very cold. My feelings over the years seem to be sapped sometimes. Sometimes I can feel very quiet as well. I suppose it can put people of with my mood. I generally put it down now to my disability and peoples deceit over the years. At seventy I suppose I will never change now

hi Lindsey - I believe what you’re experiencing is pretty common for anxiety and depression. Feeling numb and disconnected. I’ve learned that the key is not being afraid of this state of mind. It’s just your brain saying I’ve had enough and need to rest. I do a few things to help ease the discomfort - get outside and take short walks, journal your day- write down what is on your mind, meditation (you can find these on YouTube or an app) and most importantly self care - getting enough sleep, eating good food and loving yourself. What you’re feeling won’t hurt you.and if you’re on meds, I think that sensation can be a side effect so i would speak to my doc about that. Hope that helps. God bless.

I used to be on meds, i quit taking them, then started retaking them like a week ago, but have stopped again past couple days cause I dont know if thats what's making me feel worse

Best to you Lindsey. I hope you figure out what’s bothering you so you can change it and have some peace. I’m also trying to figure things out for peace.

I'm sorry, Lindsey! The doctor who's prescribing your medications may have some answers. Maybe your symptoms are caused by depression. I hope you keep yourself safe.
