Worried I have no emotion

Hi

Does anyone on this forum relate to having no feelings or emotions towards others? I’m feeling this now for about two years. I was never like this until I became ill. No feelings or interest or enjoyment from anything.

I wonder why I’m so disconnected? It’s not getting better even with all the meds I’m taking. I’m worried I’ll never feel emotion again. I’m just dead flat mood wise every day for the last two/three years.

I wonder if it’s the depression or something else. I dont have schizophrenia. Do any of you feel this way with schizophrenia? Maybe I’m developing schizophrenia or something I dont know.

It seems odd to me that I am taking two antipsychotics for somataform disorder that’s all. I’m confused about it all.

What is causing this awful flatness and no feelings is troubling me.

My pdoc may increase the zyprexa when I see her next. She said lithium is very good for depression if the zyprexa doesn’t lift my mood. Bloods have to be good though to start on lithium.

If after three weeks there’s no improvement on my mood on zyprexa 5mg, then she may start lithium. Have any of you been on lithium?

Thanks

Sounds like classic depression , I hope the med tweaks make a difference.

Indeed I think its classic depression as well. Hopefully soon on the meds, I’ll feel an improvement:)

I have a pretty flat affect and mood most of the time, but I have schizophrenia. My meds do help with it – I have a decent amount of energy to get through the day. Hopefully you figure it out! It’s not an ideal condition to have. Good luck!

Hopefully I do figure it out! I like my psychiatrist and she says I have treatment resistant depression so as somataform disorder. The meds are not giving me a lift yet. I’m just dead flat:(

I’ll see my pdoc again soon so she may tweak the meds again.

Glad you are doing okay.
