Now on Day 2 again. I feel nothing. No joy, no excitement, no sadness, no depression.

Completely stoic about the whole thing. I want my joy back but it's not there!

Is this normal? And if so why?

Thank you

I could have wrote this word for word 49 days ago.
You are completely normal.
If not,that means I'm not normal.

It seems normal to keep stringing days together for some people before doing the long haul.
You'll get it right,just don't give up.
