“I'm having a blank mind for over 9 months now, there is absolutely no thought popping into my head. … I also have to battle with emotional numbness, it feels like I can't feel any emotion anymore. Neither listening to music, nor playing with my dogs, nor looking at my girlfriend, gives me any emotions anymore. No matter in which situation I am: My mind and my emotions are empty/blank.”

Cause: Nordmaster: past stress; current diagnosis heavy depression but no longer feels depressed; considers Depersonalization. No psych-drug named as cause of blank+numb in thread.
Duration: >9 months blank mind + emotional numbness at Jun 2013 posting; later outcome unknown (only 2 posts).
Recovery notes: No recovery update in-thread. Asks if blank mind + emotional numbness are common DP symptoms. Peer Callalily frames as protective shutdown from stress.
