It is imperitive that you see a good therapist who will work not just cognitively but with you body (i.e. Integrative Body Psychotherapy). In the meantime, you will need to slowly build up your ability to identify feelings, they are there, you need to gradually cultivate them first by identifying small indicators of them- not just the negative ones. Good luck, drugs may not be able to boost this area of your life, you can do this, the process of trying can be rejuvinative in itself. Start breathing and come back to 'what is my body feeling right now". To Tenisha,
