Just saying how I feel. I just feel none of you care like before. Maybe I’m boring or something and I realise I’m not feeling quite myself. I’m knitting but I’m not feeling no joy. Everything is colourless.

I do care about others and always will. It’s just that my condition doesn’t allow me to be more active and thus my degree of implication stays rather low. I rarely contribute to this forum but when I do I speak my heart out.
So here’s a big hug to you @anon80629714 and hoping you’ll feel better soon.
Everything is colorless for me too, it’s been this way since 3 years ago but I’m still hanging on…

@anon80629714, you have quite a few replies and likes on every single one of your posts for the past three days. Is there any particular reason you’re feeling unlinked today? You have over four thousand likes.

I wish I knew how to knit. Things feel colorless for me too lately. I don’t know what to do.

I know @Ninjastar I’m not hated. But I just feel meh it’s hard to explain. Like I’m a piece of nothing. Like I don’t have emotions
I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Know that you are well-liked and cared for in this community.

Is it the first time you feel like this @anon80629714? Since you’re diagnosed bipolar with psychotic features, it’s normal to have ups and down in your mood. I’m sure this rough patch will go away soon.

I don’t remember this feeling. I just can’t feel much of anything. Not even sad
That’s exactly how I feel every day. It’s a feeling of emptiness. I’ve gotten used to it… But in your case it might be med-induced. What are you currently on?

When I feel an unpleasant feeling I try to relax and tell myself, “this is just a feeling, like any other. It is normal for people to feel a variety of emotions for no apparent reason. It will pass on its own, and then I will feel something different.” It helps keep me from spiraling when I feel bad.

I’ve only just stated weaning of abilify after 7 years.
I hope it goes soon

Are you a smoker too, by any chance? Abilify and even smoking are known to tamper with your dopamine levels…

I’ve never smoked in my life plus it’s only been four days since weaning off. So I’ve only missed two doses so far. I think it’s nothing to do with meds
Before my illness started, for the better part of a decade I had feelings of emptiness from time to time. Nowhere near what I’m feeling now, but still they were troublesome. When such a moment occurred, I would binge-watch some favorite anime series and this simple habit was enough to lift my mood.
So maybe you could try watching something emotional (I don’t know if you’re into soap opera for example) or re-watching something that made a strong impression on you in the past…

If you’re weaning off abilify, then that could be it. Hopefully it’s just temporary.
