Hi,
I’m a 26 year old student from wales . I have been hearing voices for 3 years - loud derogatory nasty voices .
I have also been feeling less and less emotions . I now feel completely emotionless and empty . I cant feel sad or happy. I haven’t been able to sleep in 3 days.
The emptiness is very distressing for me . I cannot enjoy anything or think deeply it is an awful feeling . I do not feel motivated to revise or do anything . I also have zero sex drive and have not had sex in over a year.
I also struggle to feel any pleasure in anything I used to enjoy like having a cup of tea or having a shower
I feel no reward in anything I do- so why should I bother doing anything ?
There is an empty nothingness that won’t go away it’s making me do strange things to try and feel something like screaming and shouting. I feel incredibly frustrated I can’t feel I feel angry I’m trapped nothing feels good nothing makes it better .

Hi there, welcome to DWD.

Can I ask a few basic questions? Have you spoken to your GP about how you are feeling? Have you spoken to your tutor and told them that you're struggling? Have you told anyone else what's going on?

Hi and welcome. You’ve come to a wonderful, safe, friendly place in DWD

Hunni, are you getting any support or treatment? What about friends and family, do they know how you’re feeling?
