Feeling Emotions Again
It's happening to me earlier this time (day 5) but that might be because I've been on and off for several months now. This afternoon I laughed - laughed!!! Then a few minutes ago I felt a pang of sadness. I always feel but am somewhat numbed to it or keep such a tight control that I am really unreadable to others, probably seem like a very cold person. I never cry, well yes when I'm angry I cry. Who knows I might soon be laughing and crying like a normal person.
I was on prozac once and I came off after about 2 weeks because I kept bursting into tears.
I've always laughed but it took really weird things to make me laugh, but earlier today I laughed at something quite simple. It was simply amazing.

It's like a block of ice that is slowly melting. You've been numbing your emotions for a long time, but they're coming out of the deep freeze. It does feel amazing when you realize you're experiencing a genuine feeling with the appropriate response. Glad it's happening early on for you
