My emotions are gone unless I feel hopeless, scared or angry?

Answer 1

Your emotions are gone for a reason. You cant deal with the pain anymore, so your mind is giving you a rest from your problems. Sometimes you can be hurting so much that you head is like a jigsaw puzzle with no pieces fitting into place...so you just shut down, its too much for you to digest. You need help sorting out where those pieces need to go. I guess if you wanted to put a name to the way you are feeling it would have to be hopeless. That is a very dangerous stage to be at, and you need some help. At least when you feel emotion, you are alive, but if you are feeling dead inside...it is your body warning you that you need some urgent help. Call a crisis line, get the help you need. They will be able to work with you to work out why you are feeling this way. Although my best guess is that you already know why you are feeling like this, and you just need help sorting out what to do. Once you get support, you will get feelings back again, and lets hope they are positive ones like happiness, personal power and peace. It can, and does happen. There is an answer, you just have to seek it out, but not by yourself, thats the reason your emotions have shut down because you cannot handle it on your own. You need support, even if its a good friend who you can tell how you are feeling right at this moment...give them a call. Maybe having a friend by your side right now is what you are needing.

It sounds to me like what they say in the psychiatric world is a "blunted" emotional state, meaning that you're having trouble feelnig. This is not uncommon. Depending on how bad your feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and other symptoms are would indicate the level of depression you feel.

Sometimes this can be dealt with by seeing a therapist who can talk you through positive thinking and coping strategies. Sometimes, however, this is a serious illness and must be treated with drug therapy. Usually people in this situation see both a psychiatrist (doctor who gives you meds), and a psychologist (one who talks with you). The combination of the two seem to be most effective.

Talk it over with someone you trust. Good talk therapists and other doctors are hard to find. You may feel discouraged if you come across some who aren't all that great. Don't give up- it is just a matter of finding one who clicks for you.

Good luck in all of this.

Your emotions arent gone. You just couldnt find them now. Hopeless. scared angry are all emotions we fell. Something must have caused you to feel this way. Relax and ask youself, what is it that's dragging you down.
talk to someone about it, even if its your reflection in the mirror. When you find that thing that's dragging you dont trip on it again. Time is moving face foreward and walk. You can never change or erase the past, so dont forget about your emotion either, but remember, the future is something only you can create for yourself. Why not continue happily and live your life without any regrets.

Answer 4

First of all your emotions are not gone, you just can't identify them right now. It takes alot of work to be able to start identifing them. But, first you need to start with why you feel those feelings of hopelessness and anger. The scared is simple. It's the unknown that scares people. It sounds like your in alot of fear and the only way to get past the fear is to face it.

Answer 5

Well, luv, first get rid of the anger, even if it's just hitting a punching bag or jogging till you drop. Decide what scares you and deal with that. No need to feel hopeless. See someone for depression and anxiety. When you make room for the good and loving, happy feelings, they'll be back. They're not gone, you just misplaced them.

Answer 6

You, my friend, are suffering from a severe bout of depression. When you get to that point, you definitely need to seek professional help. Numbness is very close to being at the breaking point. Please take care of yourself, and seek the guidance of a trusted physician to start you on medication right away, and refer you to a psychiatrist and/or psychologist. Your family physician can prescribe a medication for you (my personal experiences with Lexapro, Celexa, and Wellbutrin have been good), but I wouldn't recommend seeing him/her for long-term mental health care.
Good luck, and don't rule out any treatment option until it's been tried for at least one month.
