Daisy, I'm pretty sure I know how you're feeling.
From what you described it sounds exactly like what I've been going through.
I heard the author Andrew Solomon describe depression saying it was like waking up one morning, and everything is suddenly everything is written in a foreign tongue. The things you enjoyed you can't feel anymore, it seems as if you have two emotions boredom and anxiety.Before I was diagnosed I had no idea how many facets there are to depression. I thought it was feeling "down"
I didn't know feelings like grief, anxiety fear,
and emptiness are all symptoms.Medication can help a great deal. If you haven't seen a good Dr. one who will do more than hand you a prescription for whatever is the popular anti-depressant this week, than thats the first step you should take.
Good luck.
