unable to cope

[Sleep Is A Curse]

Anyone feel like they spent their entire life in a box devoid of emotion? That is how I feel about my own life. When i look at my past experiences I had none which prepared me for the emotional clusterfuck that is early adulthood. I never learned to cope with anything that can't be confronted with logic and reason.

I can't reason my way out of how I feel or how i react to things in life. I feel like i missed out on a large chuck of maturation. I feel as though I present myself as someone who is well put together but its all just a facade and I have the emotional threshold of a small child with no outlet for all of these emotions and such.

Is there any drug i can could be prescribed to truncate all these horrible feelings?

I changed one word and it made all the difference in the world.

But outside of that, good luck. :)

Thank you Euda. Not sure why but thank you.

Yeah they throw SSRI's at you..

Any way, everyone goes through this phase. The thing is how fast you get over it and live your life and stop looking in the past, everyone says that, but it's true.

I feel more like everyone else in my life is devoid of emotion. Anytime anything happens good or bad, everyone I know reacts like "oh well, heh." It's frustrating as fuck.

Freaking hell.
I read and reread both yours and the original post about 5 times each, trying to find what you changed. And when I did, I was so frustrated that I didn't even find it funny. Lame.

OP: It happens. But I think that you should try go out and try things that will force you to experience before leaping straight to medication.
Go to a party you don't want to, join a group your freind wants to... Do something you're not keen on and try get a sense of adrenaline or accomplishment out of it.
If you're still feeling nothing, it's probably best to go see a doctor and have them look into it. But most of those types of drugs have the effect of numbing your emotions, not the other way around.

Well, I've never had any experience with drugs, but I would not recommend them unless you're in a very, very dark bottomless pit.

I also know what you're talking about, I'm on the verge of living by myself, cutting most contact with friends and family and making some life-long decisions. I feel all this pressure and don't feel the strength and ability to cope with it. However, I try to do what I've always done - read what I like and read what is smart. Play some games (but not all day long). The worst thing to do is to stop doing anything and let the panic and emptiness take over. Answers usually have a tendency to come by themselves, you just gotta make sure you're ready for them. I'm saving money, got a laptop and good phone. Also am learning skills I'll need in the near future.

You will reap what you sow. Does that answer anything? If not, then I'm open to talking, cause I feel that the tiny fans may not handle the gargantuan shit slowly creeping up on them.

Once you find happiness the past doesn't even matter, it's just a memory. :)

I feel way better, this was just me overreacting to something relatively small in my life.

I realize now that what happened happened and i can't change it so all i can do it exist beyond whatever it was that was bothering me and enjoy myself.

appreciate the constructive responses, don't dwell in your negativity.

Thats how I react to everything.
