Hello Readers!

Have you ever been unable to feel?

I used to feel loved when I was with Matt #2. I felt sexy, happy, outgoing, youthful... and I felt hated, disgusted, outraged, offended, abused, berated, worthless. By now I know that he wasn't the one, he was kind of using me, it didn't mean to him what it meant to me. The point is, I felt.

Now, I have mini-emotions, but never like overwhelming like I've felt before. It's like I'm a flat line. Apparently seroquel is a very effective mood stabilizer - cause I'm definitely stable when I'm on it. When I'm on it, I don't get the crazy extremes I used to. But I'd like a little up and down now and then so I stop taking them. I'm great for a couple days, then I hit rock bottom again or go ballistic or feel like I'm on cloud nine and you could kill my cat right in front of me and I wouldn't care.

So, do I take the drugs and try harder to feel or do I not take them and risk injury to myself and/or others? I'm torn, and my psychiatrist is hesitant to try anything stronger.

I don't think it's a matter of need to 'try' to 'feel more.' I think a better perspective would be to say that you need to be more sensitive to the feelings you are having.
