Hello, I've been depressed for eight years. When I say depressed I don't mean 'sad' depressed or even having that bad life circumstances. I mean completely numb and dead to the world, I haven't felt any emotion in years and whenever I can feel emotion it's crippling pain and misery.
I've been on long stretches of 4 different drugs, none of them helped ease the grey nothing inside me even a little bit.
I've learned to pretend to be OK because you just can't live a normal life if you feel nothing so I invented a persona.
I've also had at least 100 hours of therapy of varying kinds, probably spent over £1000 on it, and none of it made even the slightest difference.
Please help me - what could I do to stop this madness inside me and stop wasting my life being an emotional zombie? I will dump some nice paintings every ten-fifteen minutes.

Fake it till you make it. Pick the most lucrative target, career, goal you can think of and push yourself relentlessly towards it. Doesn't matter if it makes you feel happy or not. Remember that certain parts of your brain are fucked, can't be trusted.
Just man up dude xD
