I have no emotions and no emotional response. It is getting worse.ElaineBenes5 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 5:29 pm Yea there are multiple recovery stories after years. I have been in touch with a few people directly who recovered markedly after number of years. I don’t put faith in Healy as his entire career depends on doomsday, which prevents him from being taken seriously even though this issue needs to be taken seriously. He’s right about a lot, but goes about it in such an unhealthy and histrionic way- I don’t listen to him anymore . I’d argue more people fell into depression and attempted unhealthy things as a result of things he’s said than he’s saved.
Cant Feel any reaction in my brain or body. It is just empty.
It came on really quick over the last week. Before i had some numbness and anhedonia.
I have zero emotional response to the world now. I Feel nothing when listening to music, i Feel nothing when i talk to my loved ones, i Feel nothing watching my favourite show.
It is not just that it is less interesting and gives me less than before, it is actually no response, just dead on the inside. I keep looking for a response that is not there. My body feels lifeless like a corpse.
I dont even Feel anger or irritation. No love, no happy, no content, just empty.
Can emotions come back and anhedonia lift?
I dont just Feel no pleasure, i Feel nothing at all. It is not just numbness anymore, but full blown anesthesia.
I also have really bad cognitive function, and struggle to even generate thougts.
I dont know the reason. Have taken rescue doses of benzo once in april, also had a mild concussion, had covid in february and have taken B12 because i was deficient. Have bad sleep and lots of stress.
Are there other things that could cause this continous worsening? Like anything i ate or something? Or can pure stress make it worse?
