We are all here to help!  I am sorry you are feeling this way...but there are things that can make you feel so much better.  

When you say it feels like "loss of emotional feelings and like nothingness" sounds more like depression.  Have you seen a psychiatrist?  Are you taking anything?  

I do hope you feel better....Are you posting a question or more like just a journal entry?  Sort of confused. Just trying to help. : )

yer im taking risperdal but it seems like it isnt doing anything an its weired because somtimes i feel like im happy but i still dont feel things an i have an uncomfortable feeling around me making me feel like distressed hope u can help

if the medication isn't working then talk to your doctor about it and try something different.  There are so many new drugs on the market, there is something that will make you feel better. You are lucky to be in Europe where medications are not hard to get or controlled like here in the USA.  I grew up in Florence Italy so I know.  But yes please go and see a professional, no reason to be taking something that doesn't make you feel good and disconnected.

Now about smoking pot...it will make and intensify the anxiety and give you a paranoid feeling ..so try not too because this sounds what is happening to you.  You can do some research on the internet. my younger brother smoked pot for years and now has anxiety because of it.  He has since stopped and without medication controls his anxiety.  I personally cannot go without medication, but alot of people can.  
Were you given the Risperdal for anxiety or something else?  It does help a little for anxiety..but not a whole lot. I certainly would change meds.  It won't hurt asking them to do so. Please let me know how you are feeling!  I feel so bad when people are sad and don't know what to do.  Wish I could help you more...but I am here you can send me a message anytime!

Why are you on Risperdal? Are you bipolar or schizophrenic? This medication is an antipsychotic and has it's own side effects which could make you feel this way. You need to talk to your dr about this.

yer i had a minor phsycosis do u no much about reisperdal could this be doing this to me im not bipolar or schizophrenic but as i was sayin i have this weird feeling like i sorta feel like  my enrgy is in the hole room an dont feel firm inside my body it causes bit of cunfusion and anxeity depression and feeling trapped and not free i also lost most pleasure with my sex life and its hard to connect with people and feel down to earth also im feeling always bit uncomfortable and somtimes when i sleep i get a weird feeling of movement like when u have had to many drinks im a strong person but ive never felt this scared in my life hit me back peace

That is also what I read about that medication you are taking...I would def: talk to your doctor about giving you something else.  I bet when they change it you will find yourself again and pleasure in having intercourse.  When someone is depressed they do lose interest, so in that retrospect your feelings are quite normal....but I would not take that medication...there is so much out there that could actually help you!!!!  

Keep in touch and let me know when you are going to see your doctor!
Peace right back at ya!

but im scared things wont affect me and the feelings dont feel normal and somtimes i just feel its never gonna end before this i was the complete oppisite i was always feeling really good and secure and felt on a natural high but now im just really scared its like a mental trap i just feel stuk in my head alot one thing that really made it bad was when my best mate passed away maybe thats causing alot of my distress but im not sure wat it is really i need somone with sum good insight maybe ur self or somone u no
hope ur well message me back thanks

I am sorry to heart about your best mate!  Loosing someone is always hard and also very normal for you to feel down.  

What do you mean you are scared things won't affect you?  Are you talking about trying a new medication?  If so..from what you are posting it seems you are are in a place where your current medication isn't helping you either.  I am sure it was a doctor who gave you the medication to begin with...go back to them and talk about....tell them it isn't working..or tell them exactly what you are feeling and they will change it. The whole reason we take meds is too feel better, but if that particular one isn't doing it's thing then you shouldn't be on it.  Also when they are not working could be causing you to feel this way, because you need something different.  How long have you been taking it?  Are you a student?

ive been taking it on and of for like a year yer wat iam scared about is that no medication can help my problem i just feel like an alien wat sort of medication makes u feel more grounded and let u feel ur feelings more maybe i need sumthyn like that if theres sumthyn out there i feel that my docter doesnt understand me and doesnt have much insight and he isnt really that smart so maybe i need to find a better doctor yer its mainly just alot of fear anxiety disconection paranoia and feeling trapped and uncomfortable like mostly every day but somtimes i feel really good but thats not very often yes im studying and when u dont feel feelings its like doing things just feel pointless so its hard for me to stay focused and strong when doing day to day things peace
