    Hi and welcome. It sounds to me that you both have been through an awful lot over a short space of time and you’ve both been affected by it. When he saw the doctor, did the doc suggest that it’s depression that’s causing the lack of feelings or the meds? I ask because it’s common for people with depression to subconsciously ‘protect’ themselves by shutting themselves off from feelings they can’t cope with. I know it’s something I do and it’s very painful for my family to deal with. It never meant that I didn’t love them, just that I couldn’t handle that intensity of emotion. Did the doctor discuss alternative ADs with him?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
