Default Serious question...

Anyone ever felt absolutely NO feelings? I have 2 jobs, girlfriend, high stress, little sleep, roommate issues and I literally feel nothing but angst...if someone rubs me the wrong way I get defensive and fight things...

There are issues going on in my personal life that I should probably feel something but I don't.

Absentmindedness actually comes to mind...where my mind is pushed to its working limits that it doesn't let other things go through...

Anyone experience this?

Yes. My work is consuming me whole but I keep letting it because I just don't care. Everyone tells me how my attitude has changed towards a more solemn, less caring kind...however I just keep working harder. It's weird and probably not the same as your issues.

do you know what it feels like to feel something else?

You can do a little self exercise. Take everything you have and place them into mental piles labeled "love", "grateful", "anger", etc. I think you need to organize what should trigger these emotions. When you know how you should react, then you will.

Of course labels on things can change, but in general ...
you love your girlfriend.
you're thankful for a job.
etc ...

I think you're so overwhelmed that the mental stuff takes a back seat.

Yep, been there. I remember when my most recent relationship was on the skids, I hated my job, was doing a lot of boozing, and was pretty much never home. I remember thinking to myself, "I'm not satisfied with any part of my life right now." I wasn't really depressed about it, I just recognized that it was there. After a few months of that I decided to actively change it, and have done so with pretty good success.
