for about 2 years now i haven't been able to feel the emotions im supposed to. i know what im supposed to feel cos its there in my head but i cant feel it in my body and heart.
for example last night i was sad and crying a lot but didn't feel sad i just felt normal like numb.
it works the other way as well. like your supposed to feel happy but i still feel numb.
my thoughts are happy and i know im supposed to feel happy but im still numb.
it scares me a bit that ive stopped feeling all these emotions.
i don't know what to do about it either
call it numb, emotionally stable, heartless or what ever you want.
but i want it to stop.
i want to feel again. even if its pain or sadness.

And maybe its not, the only way to know for sure, is to go to your doctor and talk to him about it.
I know its easier to ask online for people's help, then facing up to a physician. But the truth is, if you do have depression or some mental illness, or just something physically wrong with you, the place you'll need to end up with is the doctor in the first place. And it would be so much simpler if you just went there first.
Sometimes, things in our brain don't connect right, or something causes things to not react to things, and its all very complicated, and a doctor would know what to do. And maybe prescribe a medication, therapy of some sort?
And maybe you know you are not depressed, but still - this is not a normal thing. Its better to rule out something serious first.
