Does

Depression keep you from feeling love?  Like when your depressed you don't feel like you love anyone.  Like your wife, family, friends?  Just a question.

I know what you feel like. I'm hoping its just another type of anxiety attack. I love my wife. I know you don't fall out of being deeply in love with someone in seconds. Defiantly when they aren't doing anything to hurt you.

i mean i like myself.  My depression came from stress related events.  Its just when I was depressed I couldn't feel love for anything.  Like I know I love my wife.  But I couldn't feel it.  That goes for my family as well.  I couldn't feel the joy of love.
