    Simply put, I used to be able to feel it and now I can't. Not really sure what happened here or anything but I cannot feel love or happiness. It's like there is ice in my heart, literally. I just get a feeling of cold there now, no warmth.

    Can you describe your situation a bit? It doesn't sound like you're in a good place, but without knowing more it's hard to know what to say.

    Did something happen around the time that you started (not) to feel this way? Do you feel anything else in place of love or happiness - are you angry, nervous, sad, or so forth?

    Maybe you just are feeling well. Take a break. Relax. Smile. Or sit and watch films all day (seems to make me feel better).

    This has been going on for weeks. It's not depression because I have been depressed before and could still feel love. Now the sensation that I felt in my heart, along with joy, is no longer there and what used to give me joy doesn't anymore.

    It's not depression, but remember, that doesn't mean you aren't depressed.

    Are you seeing a therapist?

    Any time you want to vent, feel free to come to my wall.

    Sounds like apathy. Are you on medication for your depression? I know some gave me the same feeling, kind of like being so emotionally dead that I can't even feel sad about that fact.

    I have felt almost the exact same way where all of the sudden you just can't feel love or be happy anymore its like some of your emotions just disappear. But I had been like this for a few months and I don't believe its depression but I could've been wrong. Just try to find things that make you happy like maybe your family or friends. Did something happen to make you feel this way or did it just suddenly happen?

    I remember reading something about sexual fluidity and that sort of is when this started happening.
