Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this...Since my first panic attack 3 months ago, I have no emotions. I am at the worst point in my life and can not even cry! My doc says it comes from shock and eventually the emotions will come back.It's like I'm not real! Very scary.

I sorta felt that way a little when mine first started, only I didn't seem to have any problem crying (ALL THE TIME). Other than the crying I felt completely hollow inside. Like there was nothing there...

I'm sorry you're feeling that way and I'm here for you if you ever need to talk.

I cant cry either, and dont really feel much of anyhing. This stuff just consumes my thoughts everyday, theres probably no room for emotions.

The exception=Theres a commerical on TV with animals and shelters, and some sad music. "In the arms of an Angel, will you find some comfort here" Have you seen this commercial??? I cry everytime!! Smile

yes the detached, unreal feeling is quite common for me. i get to the verge of tears, where they just sting my eyes and make my throat hurt, but generally i don't cry. couldn't even cry at my mother's funeral, how horrible is that? i do cry sort of when i am uncontrollably angry, though. leave it to me to have my wires crossed so bad. i can cry when angry but not when devastatingly sad???? something i have never understood

The lights of our hearts have dimmed today,
for with God's calling you went away.
The newest angel to sit by his side,
has brought to his eyes a gleam of pride.
But what of us whom you've left behind?
Within earthly chains we remain confined.
Rage, confusion, and despair whirl in rapid haste
from the brutal reality we are forced to face.
Seemingly trapped within an infinite void,
full of painful tears impossible to avoid.
To turn back time is our unwavering dream,
when our heartache is at its most extreme.
Nothing in the world could ever take the place
of your laugh, your smile, or your warm embrace.
But we must find a way to continue on,
to make a new life without our beloved son.
Through the darkest of tunnels we trod ahead,
regretting petty angers and I love you's unsaid.
I pray for the day we may find some solace.
Perhaps when we meet in God's great palace.
