I'm new to this, so I was wondering if you can help me?
15.04.2014 by Lace

Right now, I'm feeling conflicted.

How can I get rid of what it feel like? Can it be treated?

I don't want to walk around all day with my throat all tightened up and restrained.

I used to be depressed, and had thoughts of suicide back then, but now I feel so emotionally and physically detached from myself. Is this caused by my previous depression?

I'm wondering, if anyone else begins to struggle with feelings, does it feel like a ball is stuck in your throat?

I know basic things, like happiness and sadness, and what love feels like but will I ever love someone that isn't part of my family? I can laugh and smile, but anger confuses me a lot and I am very prone to it.

Please give me advise.

Thank you.

Hello Lace
You asked for advice, I have none.
What I do have is an answer to one of your questions, as pertaining to myself.
You described a "ball in your throat" feeling and one of having to keep your emotions restrained. I have neither of those, what I do have is a great feeling of emptiness, I would call it sorrow but the word does no justice to what I'm trying to categorise. It's like a space where I know that every feeling I seem to be missing belongs.
Sorry I can't be of help.
