Is emotional detachment a, for lack of better word, symptom of depression?
I've been very emotionally detached for over 6 months. It's as if I am completely emotionless. For example, if something sad were to happen, it wouldn't phase me; same goes for something happy. I've always thought that maybe the buildup of negative emotions could have led to me repressing everything, but was recently told it's a form of depression. So I was wondering if that was true.
I don't know but sometimes it feels good not to feel
@emergeintolight, in short, this is indeed true. It's often associated with other "numb" feelings, like an inability to enjoy and derive pleasure from things that used to entertain us.
@Jan17, when it's been going on for this long,you start to feel as though a part of you is missing @Chester, that would explain the distancing
