I know,,,it's wonderful to have a place to go and tell someone... Have a nice night...

I used to feel that way alot...now i get blazed and go visit this old lady of near 90 and listen to the same stories and sometimes I might get one that I havent heard yet. It makes her so happy, which in return makes me happy and gave me that good feeling back. I also swim at the beach...got out more to places i actually liked to be at.

Hello my dear purple banana! I'm sorry that your feelings, or lack of, upset you. I used to have those very flat days, where everything felt like nothing.
You are a kind and brave person to handle the shifts your brain chemistry gives you. The weird thing is trying to keep the "you" separate from the chemistry- I use this little "it's not me, it's my OCD" to keep myself from getting on my own case. It passes. You know better than anybody that those feelings come and go. Some of the feelings are not fun, but they hopefully aren't forever. Rest assured however, a chemical glitch in no way takes away from your deep down charm and intelligence! I am a very good judge of people :thumbsup:

I'm not suicidal, nor have I ever been and probably ever will, it's just those thoughts pass through.

I thought toking would help, but at most it made a tiny dent. I know how you feel about the whole distancing thing... I have a few set of friends in random places that I went from seeing every day to seeing maybe 4 times a month. I think they get pissed, like they think I'm abandoning them, but that's not it at all.

EDIT: I once felt like this a few weeks ago, and I spent (I shit you not) 3 hours simply staring at myself in a mirror. Just because. It was odd.

LIP- People give me shit sometimes because a 'tragedy' occurs on the news, and everyone's like "Can you believe this?!" and I'm like "Eh" if it's one of those days, and they give me a look like "WTF you dick."

I feel the same way you do about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time... I also suffer from a mild case of bipolar disorder (I haven't ever needed or taken meds for it)... I think it just comes with the territory.

I feel you. Comes in little phases. Lasts a week then goes away fo a while. Like I can't even feel emotion even if I try. It's like even if my whole family died I don't think I would feel emotion. It's kinda sad I guess.I don't think it makes you a bad person at all. I mean what can you do? Nothing. Some people just react different then others. I mean atleast you don't want to kill people or something...but not really feeling emotions isn't too bad. It can be a side effect of some of the anti-psychotics, but it's different when it comes from the meds.

Why would they ban you?

What happened in the dream?

I can't imagine you ever getting banned.
