cold/emotionaless

[Strength]

i dont really know what else to say other than for the majority of this year ive felt cold and emotionless and apathetic towards alot of things. like nothing really bothers me and i feel like i dont have any love for anyone or anything like family and friends. i dont feel sadness, anger or happiness of any sort. its a strange feeling i dont know how else to describe it.

could this because of drug use? i dont want anyone here telling me it is just cus they hate drugs but i only want straight and honest awnsers please.

ive laid off the drugs for a while now only doing weed and meth on the odd occasion.

i started the year off getting into MDMA pills fairly often then moved onto dropping acid tabs nearly every weekend then doing meth on and off then doing magic mushrooms 3-4 times a week. then on meth again and now recently ive finnaly cut back on everything. i also smoked weed every day for ages aswell.

Well drugs certainly will not help but its really good you have cut back. The thing is after people have stoped drugs, any mental issues that result from the use of such drugs take a while to come to the surface and start to plague you. It sounds like this may be the case with you, I really think you should see a doctor about this and be as open and honest as you can about your drug use in the past, I am pretty sure this is the cause of things.

It may perhaps be the effects of the drugs, or you may be just burnt out. When our minds and bodies go through a shitload of poo, it desensitises itself as a coping mechanism. And/or you're completely burnt out.

Sweetie, being apathetic and cold does not necessarily do you good, in fact, it may do more harm than good. Because when you suppress all that emotion, it just becomes another baggage you carry on your shoulders, and the floor beneath you -will- give, sooner or later. And it will crush and you will fall harder than were you to carry the luggage one by one, whilst throwing the previous away, behind you.

Allow yourself to feel, cry, scream, talk to someone and bawl your eyes out and say how life's been so freakin' tough. Make yourself do fun things that don't endanger yourself, even if you don't want to. You will gradually ease out of the hurr-durr-I-feel-no'in-just-horny or whatever it is man.

Take care, angel! <333

Love,

ive taken some steps in order to quit. starting with the worst.
i ended up smashing my crack pipe under a brick. i feel bad about it now but i know its for the best.

I'm glad you are laying off the drugs. Yes, I'm gonna have to say that the drugs are most likely altering the normal balance of neurotransmitter levels and reuptake in your brain which may be a possible reason for the lack of emotion. There may be also other reasons as why you may be feeling this. If you continue to notice this lack of emotion after a few more months, message me.

There's no way that any of us can definately tell you that it's to do with drugs. I've never touched drugs in my life yet i've felt pretty much exactly as you've described. However drugs can cause alot of mental side effects, and this could be one of them.

Either way this feeling isn't normal and you need help for it.
