Here is a strange thing that has been happening to me for perhaps the last three months. In early August all of a sudden it felt like I had not emotions or feelings. Like feel excited or nervous or even angry. Granted I would still laugh or cry but they just didnt feel the same. I also had this zoned out feeling along with it. Does anyone have an idea of what this could be?

How could it be depression? I thought depression was when your sad all of the time.

sometimes depression presents with a blunting of emotions, a lack of enjoyment in things, social withdrawal.
I don't know that that is what you're describing though.
...that's why I was asking if you had other symptoms

again, I hope you can see a doctor.
I can't know what you're going through...can only guess. Does "depersonalization" sound like something??
see link:
http://www.answers.com/topic/depersonalization"A second prominent feature is the blunting of emotion or its total absence. The patient can experience neither love nor hate, neither pain nor pleasure. He complains of having become a stranger to himself and there are long periods in which he feels dead, loveless, and a mere automaton. Yet emotional responses are preserved and he exhibits natural affective reactions; facial expressions may appear lively and responsive when he is exposed to emotional stimulation."
This is the end of the thread.
