Open original source ↗“I've been living this way for 3 years now ... I'm just a robot - that's cold, emotionless and selfless. ... To live every single day with a blank mind, with no feelings or sensations in your body ... I lost my inner monologue. ... severe fatigue, emotional numbness ... I don't feel pleasure, pain, happiness. Sadness. ... Nothing.”
