Someone help me please? i have a serious problem

Question

i quit school because of some problems so i have had alot of free time. and im always on the internet and i always love to learn new stuff so i read about alot of mental illness because my grandfather had alot. and it has made me become a hypochondriac after i get done reading something i will think i have cancer, tumor, depression anything. i actually went to the doc to see if i had these and i had none. but i read about what insane people are like. and it said they feel no emotions at all. so i started to worry about it and it made me think about being insane. like i would make myself not feel any emotions like excitement,joy,love, even sadness basically any feeling. and now i cant get rid of it and its killing me inside i cant stand it, its not myself. but the thing thats bothering me the most is love. it was one of the greatest feeling i ever had with my girlfriend and now its gone. what should i do?????

breath again

write down how you feel .

everyday do this try to work up the doing other stuff like hanging out with friends and watching movies .

write how you feel and stop thinking your insane!  

Answer 2

I have a very similar problem. my problem started when I started comming off zoloft. Check out the symptom of depression called Anhedonia. It is the inability to feel pleasure. I belive this could be ocd related, or caused my intrusive thoughts that are blocking your emotions.

What helped me is not looking

1.up stuff on the internet

2. I would lay down in a quiet environment, and try to clear my mind completely and think no thoughts for about 15 mins. Try to get into a intense focus. If any thoughts pop into you head dont try to block them, but observe the thought and let it pass. when you get in this state start thinking about how the problem started. you will find while you are meditating that your recall easily how your problem started. Then start thinking about your girlfriend, and all of the positive things about her when you are meditating. you should start to feel a little emotion.

Good luck! trust me i know how this is, but it is problably a form of worry, intrusive thoughts and ocd

Answer 3

ur not insane. even if u were a hypochondriac (which u probably arent) u still wouldnt be insane. besides insane people dont really know their insane. they believe wat they think and feel is real even tho its all in thier heads. which is excatly wat this emotion thing is, all in ur head. if u dont feel love for ur gf anymore maybe its cuz ur stressin over this too much or u simply dont love her. stop worryin urself over this. ur completely normal. plus u must still have emotions cus ur worried and stressed right now, arent u?

Answer 4

You might be spending a little too much time on the Internet reading about different symptoms and illnesses.

Find other things to do.  Go out with your girlfriend and have fun.

Try a new sport.  Think about taking classes to help you finish school.

You could do this at your own pace.  Try to make more of a life for yourself.  Good Luck.
