I feel nothing
I feel nothing at all, not even when I compulsively look at younger people I need help, I’m so scared, it’s like I don’t care any more about anything or peoples basic human rights

I went through something similar to this...if I am right in assuming that OCD is causing it, then what's happened is that you've emotionally exhausted yourself, so you're going into depression. It's okay; you're likely going to feel kind of numb and are not going to experience much emotionally for a while. You may feel detached from everything and not care about anything. Just focus on today, and don't stress about the future; I know it feels scary, but it's going to go away, I promise. In the meantime, don't worry about caring; unless you make it real, what goes on inside your mind isn't going to affect the external world, anyway. Worry about yourself and living. Don't make any big choices. Just survive for now and you'll make it out, and make sure to call someone if you need help.

Hello Forest! I totally understand what you’re going through! Whatever the root cause of feeling numb might be might not necessarily matter in the moment, it’s just that you feel like you can’t relate to basic human emotions and desires, right? That’s pretty frightening (even if you feel you don’t feel frightened, though it sounds like you are!)- humans are emotional beings and being without that feels unnatural. But it’s good to remember that you CARE about feeling these emotions. I remember reading somewhere that it’s simply enough to care about caring. If you force those emotions or constantly check them, you’re just going to set yourself up for disappointment as OCD tends to do. In the meantime, I would suggest trying to set up a routine where you do meaningful activities (and again, try not to ruminate about whether they bring you some kind of emotional response!) . I also am quite emotionally numb, and it’s something my OCD frequently tries to latch onto to convince me of all sorts of awful things about myself. It’s definitely not fun, but remember that you can get through this!

I feel so weird these days. Like I feel blank empty person with no emotions. I mean i still do get anxiety here and there but like no emotions or guilt. I see scary movies and feel no reaction, I imagine hurting other and don’t feel any guilt more like the idgaf typa feeling, before I would be in mental torture crying and depressed about being scared I was a serial killer. I would break down but no I feel urges still by no anxiety or anything. I feel mental and crazy. I would be so excited to wear makeup and excited about impressing guys and dating, but now they don’t seem real to me. Before I would care about OCD and now I’m more like idgaf anymore or what I do. What is going on ?! Am I the only one experiencing this.?

I cant identify what am I feeling rn. Idk if I'm happy or sad or bored or anything. I've been feeling like this for more than a month now. Feels like I'm not living my life, I'm just surviving. I'm not being productive. When someone shouts at me,i only feel bad for 10 minutes then I'm again in the no feeling phase. Nothing gets me excited. Idk if its depression cuz I'm not sad. I have ocd but anxiety has gone completely. Can someone help. I'm 16

I don’t know anymore. Pls help.
Yesterday morning was such a great day I wasn’t having as many intrusive thoughts and for once I felt normal I legit almost wanted to cry and thanked god because for once it all fault clear and as the day progressed I was feeling awful and uncertain. Now I’m stressed that I don’t feel anything because of my intrusive thoughts but my body is still reacting (groinal response) I’m stressed out that I’ve probably convinced myself I’m an actual p***. I’m 100% convinced I’ll do something bad if left alone with a kid and I’m stressing out. How do I know I’m not a p*** in denial??? I know I don’t want to do these things but it feels like I do. Why don’t I feel anything anymore? Has the anxiety become so overwhelming that my emotions have completely shut down? I feel like a person who has no emotions which isn’t like me. This doesn’t feel real.
