Link, I agree. When my Dad died, I didn't feel much of anything. We weren't close but I did live with him. My entire family was in tears when they disconnected the ventilator but I was just like an alien (or robot) there to observe the procedure.
I glad someone posted about the amotivational syndrome or SSRI induced apathy a week or two ago on psychobabble. I've been on SSRI's or effexor (most of the time) since the 1990's and I really haven't had a close friend for years. Or much aspiration.
I wonder if Parnate or Wellbutrin would be less deadening. Seroquel and Geodon made me laugh at everything on tv and I could get angry very easily and I cried. (But I can't take them because it affects histamine and any drug that does makes me sleep 80% of the time.)
I'm babbling but I'm usually pretty clever but I never connected my so called "social phobia" with my zoloft induced indifference.
It is weird sometimes how the mind ignores information. I had heard of emotional blunting but I never thought to apply it to my self.
