well, all i can say, is building on those snaypse connections is the only way you will experience more.


So...I guess I'm pretty much screwed.ohwell


what? you cant learn anymore than you have?


Everyone is learning all the time, my brain just seems incapable of learning emotions.


ok, well then thats your path, just do the best you can. Can you be ok with that?


Suppose I don't have much choice in the long-run. I'll be okay, I just wish I could feel more than I do currently.


You do have feelings this entire post shows that. What you are doing is denying to yourself that they are there.



There is alot to what Mo said. You are obviously a very intelligent young man. I have read alot of your posts over time and they are full of emotion. With out getting to personal but is there any medications ( I mean prescribed drugs) that you may be on that might be aiding this. I have personally seen this kinda thing before is why I ask. Peace...smokin

I believe his lack of emotions are due to his accident. Basically a form of brain damage. No drug will help that.

Like Gypsy said, there isn't a drug that will help me. I've been on a number of anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, and a handful of stimulants for stimulating my brain. I've done hypnosis, to no avail. I simply have no recollection of the emotions I may at one time had. I currently don't take anything prescribed, I also don't plan on it.

I think having anything really traumatic or terrifying like that to you would definitely effect how you deal with the people around you. Brain damage can do weird stuff to people and this isn't something you can medicate.
I guess that's just how you were meant to be. Some people feel too much emotion. There's nothing they can do about, that's just them.

I wasn't thinking of drugs that would help you. I was thinking drugs you were on that might make these symtoms worse. Specifically anti-psychotics and anti-depressants. I am not one to think you can take a pill to cure what ails you. On the other hand I have seen someone very close to me take an anti-psychotic and completely change in personallity and make up. I am truelly sorry about your accident. I wish nothing but the best for you. Peace......smokin

Not so much that I don't feel them, I don't recognize them. I was given a test when I was 18 where they show you multiple pictures of faces expressing different emotions and you have to name the emotion, I only knew happy...the rest I just don't recognize. I don't know when someone is scared, afraid, or sad. It just doesn't click with my brain.

In response to newarkjw; like I said I no longer take any medication such as the anti-psychotics or anti-depressants, even when I did take them they had no effect on my thinking they simply did nothing. The stimulants on the other hand actually did what they were supposed too, but only for about 4 or 5 hours and I was only able to take one a day which made them mostly useless to me because after they wore off I hit rock bottom and crashed. Thank you for your wishes mate, much appreciated.
