Feeling numb to emotions

Hey everyone,

I just recently hit a rough patch with feeling very.....grey? It feels like I can't evoke any emotions? I don't get that feeling of giddiness when I know im going to see friends or when I watch a movie. It tends to be very difficult to cope with this because I feel like I'm not really living. I know you shouldn't seek out these things but now I'm wondering if the lexapro is causing this Anehdonia type of feeling? Im worried that it may be permanent. Any advice anyone?

Aloha,

AK

Hi AK,
I do not want be numb so it's difficult for me to change meds.i always want to feel everything around me so as to feel alive.

But phases can make you so ,don't lose hope.It can go away or talk to doc and adjust your meds.
We all are different so it's unique combi.
You will do just fine..
Good luck!

Hi AK,

Do not worry, we all go through periods where we can't emit emotions, and I never get scared of it anymore, I just figure it'll pass really soon. I mean it's not like its easy to get through, I watch a funny movie and i don't laugh, or force myself to laugh because it makes me feel more "normal" truth is, I'm not…and thats okay :P I am praying for you and sending good vibes your way. You'll get through this.
