I dont feel emotions
Im only 13, and I have bad family problems. I dont remember when I started to not feel emotions, I just did.
- I laugh and cry, but I normally stop halfway through, when I relise i dont feel humour or whatever.
- I get hungry and go searching for food, but I dont FEEL hungry, same when Im angry sad happy or watever.
- I have never told anybody about this, and my parents have no idea... i think
- I always seem to have miniture black out things where my vision gos all dark for about 10 seconds... ( Dont know if this caused it or watever..
- But in a way I dont want to feel emotions.... It hurts when you do...

Hi, I'm 14/f.
It doesn't even have to be an adult you trust, it could be a really good friend who won't judge, be creeped out, or whatever, and that friend (if that person really is a good friend) would go to a Guidance Counselor or something in your school and you can go talk to them. I don't care even scream at your pillow like an idiot if there's no one there. It's OK. I've done it (when I was home alone)
Also, can you describe what's happening? It would REALLY help in this situation. You might even want to go to a doctor. I'm sorry if none of these things are available, I just don't know your individual situation, so I can't really help.
Just TALK! Speak out! I've started to do that and I feel way better. I'm also going through a very depressing time because everything I say to people, it seems they didn't listen and that they didn't care, and in fact that's exactly what's happening, but ever since I told my mom about it (who was the one causing the problem) everything felt better, even though she didn't do a single thing about it.
I'm still not done talking, and I'm still a little numb, but I'm a good actress, so no one can tell, and that means no one constantly asks me what is wrong anymore like they used to when I showed my emotions. I'm trying very hard to go back to that (without the sadness) but I think it will take a very long time for me to keep trying, since nobody knows.
For you, I might even go to the Guidance Counselor at my school tomorrow. My emotions are also like you say, faded, like they're there but they don't really hit as hard.
I hope this helped! Good Luck!

Hey you:) I am sorry that things are going so crappy for you. I understand what it is like to grow up in a home with "bad family problems", and even though you don't go into detail, I can imagine what may be happening.
You say that you haven't told anybody about this and it makes me kind of sad because there has to be somebody close to you that you can share this with. No? I know it may be scary to reach out, but this is the best possible thing you can do for yourself.
There is no need to be alone. Think about it: If you can write a letter to a stranger on the internet and someone (me) cares enough about you to answer it, then there are more people in your life (who actually know you)who will want to help you too. A teacher? Friend? Church member? Doctor? Friend's parents? What about your own parents? Can you talk to them or another relative?
I am not a doctor, but it seems that you are dealing with more than you are capable of by yourself right now and that is making you depressed and isolative ( wanting to be by yourself). Since you are having black out symptoms and using food to help cope, and those are both medical issues, you need to trust someone enough to help you get the help you need.
Please talk to an adult you trust and let them know about your physical symptoms as soon as possible. If you need to talk, I am here. Take care.
