Does anyone else have days where your affect is blunted/flat and other days where you’re “normal”?
I wouldn’t say normal, but I feel it’s good enough. I take sarcosine.

I have a very ugly, flat affect. But, I have what I am told to be a beautiful smile.

When I have breakthrough psychotic symptoms I think I become more flat or blunted. The meds help me though.

I have a pretty good flat affect, and I feel like it puts more emphasis on my eyes. It amounts to feeling like I’m saying the wrong thing with my eyes.
The good news is I think this has healed finally. But it made me a hermit, and I don’t have a lot of chances for “reality testing”. Getting out of my comfort zone took a lot of time and I’m still not quite there yet.

I have flat affect sometimes. When I engage I think it goes away a little and I come alive a little.

Whenever i look in the mirror or see a picture of myself i have the same zombified look on my face. I guess you would call it flat affect. I think when i get manic i become more expressive though, so i’d say it depends on my mood.

I had this written in a pdoc letter once. I had to look it up as I didn’t know what it meant! I have been working on trying to be more expressive - especially since being off Haldol that made my face look like I had been hit with a shovel.
