Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
I feel nothing when I'm alone
I am an 18-year-old graduate, about to move on to college. I first noticed this abstinence of emotion when I was accepted to my dream school. I expected to be screaming in joy, crying tears of happiness.. instead, I just shrugged it off with a great. When I'm around people, I get intense emotions. I'll be overjoyed, or enclosed by sadness, sometimes anger. I find myself overeating or eating barely anything. For example, one day I'll eat until I feel sick, while another ill eat something small and manageable like a granola bar, and that will be it. I know I have a form of insomnia, where I can't fall asleep and half the time I don't even feel tired. I may have depression and anxiety, but I've never been diagnosed with anything before so how can I really know?
