Velvet Elvis Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I've got some kind of ulnar nerve wirdness going on and can't type a lot. Take a look at this and see if it rings any bells. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Apathy can suck. Have you recently added or tapered down any meds? Could a nasty virus be coming? Just some thoughts. How old are you and did this just happen recently or has it been years? You may need intensive therapy to get to your core. Some of us have harder shells than others, due to a number of factors. Talk to tdoc or pdoc about it, they've no doubt heard it all and they may be able to crack the code, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scream_phoenix Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 well when i feel empty i usually attribute some of it to the depression and some of it to the ssri's effects. i think your mind prunes back some of those sensory receptors to spare you from the full pain of depression, and ssri's do a good job of stuffing back the emotional sensitivity that in the best of times can make life worth living. so its a hard balance to preserve. i've frequently gone off meds just to feel ANYTHING, and then the pain and emotional sensitivity overloads my system again. i think you just have to realize that you don't gain victory over depression overnight. you constantly have to learn little ways to improve your life. its good at least the stress is low, but i hear you on feeling empty even when (in my cases, the blessed few instances) the stress subsides.

Cetkat Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I know this wasn't addressed to me, but... Remeron (Mirtazapine) is a Tetracyclic antidepressant. SSRI's work only on serotonin..

cinnpop Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 i feel empty also. this has been going on and off all week. i take lexapro 10mg in the morning and feel happy by 5ish im empty,depressed and feel like cutting myself. i see the pdoc next week. feeling empty to me is both detaching, avoiding issues and feeling depressed. cutting to me is to feel something other than depression. i dont do drugs or drink alcohol so cutting is what i try not to do. usually i write in my journal and it helps a little. lexapro 10mg every morning klonopin 0.5mg twice a day; 1mg at night risperdal 1mg at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
