For some reason I have been having issues with my emotions. A while ago one of my close relatives died and I wasn't even fazed. I didn't cry nor did I feel sad. It's not because I didn't love them but for some reason I couldn't really feel anything. Most of the time I either feel angry or happy. I can't feel sad, I don't get how people can fall in love, and etc. I think they're might be something wrong with me. Any advice?
Sorry, this is not advice but I just want to say when my aunty (who I've met once) died and honestly I hardly felt anything. In your situation, this person was a close relative but I think it is normal. Maybe your brain just put up some kind of emotional barrier so it didn't affect you? This is only my guess. I am NOT an expert but yeah, this doesn't make you a bad person or anything!
Hi, I'm diagnosed with Major depression, anxiety, an borderline personality disorder. Unlike what most stereotypes portray, I'm really happy to be able to name all of that. It's helped me a lot with finding comfort in how my emotions don't process the way normal ones do. I have a lot of similarities to this, with small differences. I am angry often, or nervous. Those are my defaults. I'm good at not showing them. When I am sad it is never just a cry, it is a very deep pain, and it doesn't leave or stay, really, it does what it wants. Happiness is something I hear about, and I think I feel it sometimes, but I'm never quite sure and it scares me when I do feel it. It's okay to have your own mental proccessings, and if you aren't comfortable going to a doctor don't. It helps, but you have to be okay with it, that's most important.
