Okay. I've got a question for all you neuroscientists and psychiatrists out there
What are the possible causes of the following:
>wake up one day, realize I have no emotions
>I used to be a super happy person, very kind and outgoing, sappy scenes made me cry
>now nothing. I tried to imagine my family dying in a car accident, and I felt nothing
>I was deeply in love with a wonderful girl before this; I woke up one day and suddenly felt nothing towards her
>I used to be deeply motivated and have a ton of goals and dreams. Now, If I failed college today, it wouldn't bother me
>Can't feel any emotions any more. Not happy, not sad, not angry. Nothing.
>If a tree fell on my car today, it wouldn't bother me like it would have before this started
>used to be super horny all the time; now have zero libido. I can still orgasm, but I don't have any sex drive, nor do I feel much of any sexual attraction towards anyone.
It has been going on for about a week and a half now. I am very concerned. Before you say "see a doctor", I already have an appointment scheduled. I just want to know possible explanations for it. Everyone in my family, and even my coworkers have noticed that something is different about me. I am just not myself anymore.
What do you know of that could cause this??

You're depressed. Get out in the sun and take some vitamins.

what vitamins?
Also, why did this just happen so suddenly?
I have been getting plenty of sunlight lately.

Honestly, you need to see a doctor. it could be depression, but it could also be lots of other stuff.
And while previous anon suggested sunlight and vitamins, it is not a cure-all for everybody.
Along with sleep, financial security, a social life, fulfilling hobbies, exercise, and a healthy variety of food (and a little bit of dessert, too), they fall under the category of things that your body needs, the lack of which can cause/worsen depression. Getting all of these can cure depression in some people, but others need medicinal intervention. Medicine can also help give you the energy to seek out these things, since depression makes you less likely to take care of yourself effectively.

have you been extra stressed recently?
it sounds like a depressive episode possibly brought on by stress... don't worry though, i've had the shittiest shit storm of depression and i was always just like how you described...im doing so well now so if i were you i wouldn't be worried in terms of this being a long term thing. just keep at it with the doctors! i wish you the best of luck

Not at all. I was actually very happy before this started.
Which is why I am so confused.

I suppose I should mention that I am 18 years old, I have ADHD and OCD, and I take 30 milligrams of Adderal XR every day.

How long did that phase last for you?
Could you describe how you felt in your own words?
