I am having a problem with feeling anything... Is this bad? Or fixable?


Question Posted Tuesday February 26 2013, 10:57 pm

I'm a 17 (18 in a month or so) male, and I don't know when or even why really, but I've been having the hardest time lately feeling anything. I often or not feel that I'm just a moving husk. I can't even hold a conversation with my friends, much less sympathize with them. I can't get them to have a willing conversation with me either, so im always trying to get them into one. But they just don't really seem to want to. I guess its this personality of not-caring-ever that may do this. Its not that I don't care, cause I do. I just can't express it or show it. I look at these problems from a psychological standpoint, and I think that this may stem from the lack of a father or the torment of bullies. Either way, i don't like it, and I just want to be me again, and not this walking ball of angry dynamite with a quick-to-light fuse...

It's a mental-health issue. It needs to be seen to by a mental-health professional. At the very least it sounds like depression. However, the bigger problem is an inability to function in normal situations, can't feel anything at all, and cannot function.

When you can't function normally or enjoy life it's time to head to an ER at a hospital. You NEED to and must be brutally honest while there and tell them what you wrote us here word for word. Why? This issue can get ten times worse if not checked by a psychiatrist.

Seeing as you don't seem to be a threat to yourself what they will do is examine you, get a sense of what's been happening and for how long and chart a course for you with medication and proper counseling to get better.

This doesn't mean you're "crazy" It just means you have an illness like any other to get in check and in control of. The doctor's can legally hold you for 72 hrs just to observe you and let you rest without outside distractions while they figure out what it is you have and how to combat it.

They'll send you home right after unless they feel you are endangered or in danger to self/others. This is your only option here. Your problem will not heal over time and will get worse if left completely as is.
