    Hi there. I'm male 25 years old. For the last 2-3 years I have been unable to feel any strong emotions, no happiness and no sadness just this sort of "grey" feeling. I have a girlfriend for the last 10 months who I love (I think anyway, but being honest I wouldn't really be too pushed if we broke up; having been through breakups before) The question I'm putting to you: Is this a healthy way of living? I know I can just get on with my life, and do anything I want without letting emotions get in the way but this does lead to problems later on? Is there a possiblity I am building it all up inside and 1 day it will explode? Thanks.

    I don't think that's normal or healthy. You should be enjoying your life and girlfriend to the fullest ..not just plodding along. That's no way to live your life. If you feel serious about this then you should really go see your GP and they will tell you whats best for the situation.

    Could you be feeling depressed? Looks like it from what you wrote.

    I agree, have a chat with your doctor and see if you need counselling. You should be getting a lot more out of life.

    This sounds like depression. Are you getting enough exercise? That's a big thing.

    Take up running mate , it is great for depression and if you really want to change the way you feel then get the running up to at least 5/6 miles 3 times a week .Check with your doctor first though, about your problem and while you're there check if you are fit to run ...Good luck mate .

    ps ..You know running isn't easy mate but if you want something in life you have to work at and for it ,
    you'll get one crack at life,.. so don't waste it ...live it .
