Hi, Robert. When you say you don't feel emotions you are to me saying you don't feel any good emotions. For not feeling things is an emotional response.

You really haven't given us much to go on so I'm going to guess what you are trying to say is you feel that you are constantly feeling as if all around you is gloomy. Gloomy is a feeling I can identify and explain.

When all you feel is gloom or doom it very possibly means you suffer from some type or form of depression. The depression just won't allow you to feel anything else. Feeling this way for a long period of time you feel as if you have no feelings.

Now I am not a doctor, none of us are. If what I am making an educated guess at is correct. What you need to do is see your family doctor and be screened for depression. It is a painless exam that consists of the doctor asking you a bunch of questions. Based on your answers the doctor can make a diagnoses.

The latest national survey says that 1 in 3 or 2 in 5 of us suffer from some form of depression. Depression, clinical depression that is, is generally the result of some form of stress compounded by the insufficient amount of one or two chemicals that are secreted in the brain that control mood.

The chemical imbalance is easily corrected with proper medication. Finding out what is causing your stress and helping you deal with it better is helped by talk therapy.

If you are a teenager then you may be suffering from what is now called teenage depression. Something your grandparents referred to as a phase teenagers went through and would grow out of. Some did, many did not.

My advice is to talk to your doctor and be screened. If you are suffering from depression there is help. If you're not your doctor will still be able to help you find out why you are this way.
