But no, after having felt nothing for multiple months I can tell you it's better than being sad. You don't feel nothing all the time, you still laugh and shit. Just rarely. And it's not like you lose your capacity to like things.

Not that guy but you can grow to find comfort in things that constitute the norm for you. If you're consistently sad, then when you're finally happy and experiencing real pleasure, you might become nervous, paranoid, and excessively worried that you shouldn't be feeling happy and that the feeling won't last long.

I spent pretty much the last 8 years mentally feeling like shit. I've had a great life and I had no reason to feel shitty, but I did. Several doctors told me I had depression and they put me on several different meds. None of them worked but a while after I stopped taking them, I definitely changed.

For a while now, I haven't really been in that same state of mind, but I've never really felt happy either. I had brief moments where I felt like I used to feel when I was a kid, but nothing that lasted more than a day. I actually miss feeling like absolute shit now. I think that it's sometimes better to feel something than to be completely stoic, just as long as it's not unbearable pain or trauma over an extended time. Maybe I'm still the same even if I do feel a little different. I'm definitely not claiming to be like one of those fags on /b/ who just hit puberty and claims to have no emotion, it's not like that.
