Need help with not feeling emotions

[Hydromic]

Hi all,

So basically I’m 16 and have been through quite some shit in my past. Though strangely this is not why I post, Ive been getting a lot better but recently I have moved to a new place and have lost a lot of my best friends, but since I moved a lot as a kid I’m really social so I’ve got new best friends. it was still stressful. But about a month or two ago I was worried because I seemed to care a lot less, my grades were slipping and I was getting a lot of trouble trying to be funny. I thought this was natural because I just wanted to get friends. A little bit after that I began getting less stressed but I wasn’t being happy either. I didn’t understand but I just ignored it. Recently I got in a lot of trouble at school (and I’m the kid that usually cries if he gets yelled at) but I didn’t bat an eye, still ignored it. One of my good old friends messed up and I (with out a single care) just dropped her from my life. she meant a lot to me, like I’d die for her and we’ve been through a lot. That’s when I thought I needed help. Now I can’t feel sad, happy, stressed, i don’t love or care, i don’t get excited and nothing seems to have significance to me. Today i watched a old show that i loved as a kid and it brought back memories of being happy and then realised how I’ve changed.
And I’m worried, we’ll not really but I can notice that it’s getting worse and feel like soon I’ll be completely dead on the inside


Seeing how nice people on this site are, I thought it would be worth a shot. was also wondering what’s happening and if anyone else has been through. Thanks

Hydromic, welcome to the forum. This is a caring, friendly and supportive community.

If I understand what you are writing is that you feel nothing, you feel empty, not sad or angry just emptiness.

Moving to a new place and a new school can be quite stressful. You seem aware that you dropped an old good friend without giving her a chance and that may mean you need help.

How do you think you would be feeling if you had not moved to a new place?

Maybe you could try to tell someone how you are feeling, would you be able to talk to your GP.

Have felt empty but for me it was part of depression .

Is it possible to understand why you feel so empty?

Feel free to post as much as you like. You are not alone.

It is great that you can express how you are feeling and share your stories with others.
