    Hmm perhaps it wasn’t the same then? Or maybe it’s because i know her for longer and u could be right.

    Nowadays mine doesn’t last for long either 🙁 But i think if i am up close i can feel feelings normally but with anxiety.

    Sometimes i wonder if that’s all in my head and i made it bigger than it was..

    Hey anita

    I remember you saying that, but i’ve never actually experienced it myself. It felt like seeing another woman on her face for some moments, then it would snap back to normal and i would brush it off. I think sometimes the more i focus on someone’s face, the more things my mind projects on that face. Did your image for this person return to normal after a while?
    Very interesting..

    Is it normal? i’ve never paid any attention to it.

    Yes it felt intense at times, mostly during the whole video call. I felt excitement, connection and even passion.. Idk how that’s possible through a screen. I also made scenarios about us hanging out for days and i told her. So that’s an avoidant thing? Didn’t know.
    The truth is i don’t trust myself now and it feels like something is “blocking” me? Something is “missing” ? Feels like even that is not enough proof for me. Maybe i’ve learned to only feel the infatuation/obsession and i have to re-wire my brain in a way.

    What patterns are u seeing? I am legit asking because i wanna notice them too.

    Also, at times, while i was glaring at her, telling myself how pretty she is, my mind would often say “but is she? is she pretty enough?” and momentarily the looks of her would get somewhat distorted, like i was looking at someone else. But after a while it would go back to normal. This kinda freaked me out but i tried to let it go.

    Hey anita

    i think my memories are scattered and some are buried, but most of them are definitely devoid of feelings.

    Something weird happened today.We video-called for 5 hours, laughed a lot, enjoyed it very much. I was admiring her beauty and remembered how damn pretty she is. At some point i felt like i would throw up because of the strong feeling of affection i think?? (it wasn’t negative) I felt cuteness aggression over a screen, dunno how that’s possible. I wanted to kiss her through the phone badly.

    She told me how she felt 2 weeks ago, she was trying to give me energy through texts even tho she wasn’t feeling it and this created pressure within her and it triggered her avoidant side. I told her that’s exactly how i felt in november-december-january. I felt pressure to give her the previous energy (which i lacked because of burnout probably), while simultaneously fearing i’ll lose her and that would make me feel pressured and also trigger my avoidance. I told her how i took it a day at a time while feeling “gut instinct” pressure and it worked..She told me that’s exactly what she does when her avoidance is triggered by closeness.
    All in all it was very nice, but i still feel like something is bothering me inside and i can’t seem to find out what it is. Perhaps it’s the lack of trust in myself and my feelings and how wary i’ve become now.

    Hey anita

    Yes everything feels far away and part of another life. I guess this is what’s happened to my experiences.

    It’s weird isn’t it? I remember the therapist asking me “tell me about your life” and i started telling her about after my 17 and forward. She noticed and asked me, “why don’t u start earlier?” I didn’t know why to be honest, haha. Maybe the feelings were removed from those memories..

    I know but it still feels not right to be like this 🙁

    Hey anita

    Yes exactly, the sudden emptiness of something i used to enjoy and like so much is confusing and annoying..

    You know, i might have been the same with you because i don’t really recall any period of my life in which i felt content or truly happy, perhaps 2-3 years here and there but other than that it has always been kinda dull, going with the flow and by the day, not really having any goals or anything to be excited to wake up for. Also nothing gets my interest and my feelings were low/mute always.

    But right now my mind feels calmer and i still don’t feel like before. Perhaps it’s because i keep checking 🙁

    I really wonder how it all started so i can read the signs next time and prevent it from happening though..

    I hope so anita, thank you for the encouragement 🙂

    Hey anita

    I mean the damage done to my mind (feelings), is that reversible i wonder?

    I was never someone to ruminate a lot, just this time.

    Hey guys

    I think i am deep in ruminating for the past 4 months, thinking of how good things were, how i was feeling, all the positive emotions, comparing to the emptiness of the present and it has definitely been harmful..
    Is it reversible or the damage done is permanent?

    I hope it will, people say it needs 4-6 weeks to see results, i am on day 4 now 🙂
    But what do we mean exactly when we say rumination? Thinking of the past?

    I think i feel empty/drained.

    I guess you are right, things come and go in waves..

    He was referring to the rumination/compulsive thinking and stuff.

    Hey anita

    Oh damn, i guess after such a long usage it was expected 🙁 glad you went through it and you’re ok now!

    I read about the dosage and the results, but sometimes i doubt if what i am going through now is even depression.. I havent cried in a week almost, sadness is completely gone, i can’t get sad with anything right now, i mostly feel empty and irritated maybe, i even doubt if i had OCD, even if i had been obsessively checking feelings/crying for the past 4 months.. Mine is Tepram 10mg which is the same i guess.
    Doctor booked me an appointment in two weeks to see how im feeling, but he said he believes it’s not gonna cover my symptoms.
