...FEEL AGAIN?

I know I am just going in circles...but will I ever get that feeling of normal again?

I haven't had feelings in almost two years....and instead of getting better... it is getting worse...nothing...and I mean nothing....helps me.

I take 100 mg of zoloft to get through the day...then I take clonazapam or trazadone to sleep at night!!!!....and that is all i do....get through the day...go to sleep at night...repeat...

I don't feel...I don't do anything....I'm like a zombie...literally the walking dead....I used to think I had mentally and emotionally died and then was resurrected by my three loves (GOD, STeM, Motorcycles)...but now...I think I died and I can't be resurrected by anything....

Nothing...and I mean nothing at all...matters to me...nothing!...I am void of all emotion and feelings....and time...well it just keeps on slipping on by!!!

I don't ...even feel the numbness anymore...I used to feel numb on the inside...now...even that is gone....I feel nothing...

Have you tried some sort of therapy? Nothing mentioned on doing any on your profile so thought I'd ask.

I wish I could say something helpful but all I have empathy. It sucks. I am tired of it too.

So much has happened in your life that you are blocking the emotions in order to cope, its a natural coping mechanism. This happened to me once when a person traumatized and scarred me, for a good few years, I had no emotions, I through up a brick wall, and didn't let people in. But then something worse happened. I created a mental prison and I mentally imprisoned myself in it. Little did I know that I just ruined 14 years of my life by doing that.

So you are doing the right thing by talking to us, don't close yourself up. Allow yourself to feel what you need to feel, even if it means that you cry. Because in the end you will feel so much better. Your carrying a huge weight on your shoulders. You don't have to carry the weight anymore. :)

I am here for you if you need me. God Bless U :)

it looks like you feel pretty frustrated right now... thats not a very fun feeling, but it IS a feeling

the meds youre on are designed to keep you from feeling certain things... and can stop you from feeling most things... you may want to consider going off the meds (with dr's guidance!!!) and getting into some kind of therapy

and yes, talking here can help too

I feel like I'm repeating myself, but I've been there. It's a very difficult cycle to get out of. The obvious ways are meds and therapy, but there have been many times I didn't have the energy to do that, which by the way, always seemed a mystery to me. If I'm so depressed that I can't function, how am I gonna make it to an appointment? But that was just ME...THEN. I could only move forward by sometimes just letting myself feel bad, and then trying to accomplish small things, tiny goes. Can only speak for myself and so hope this helps. Gentle Hugs
