“I can't feel any emotions. My mind is completely blank, and I used to have such a vivid mind. … Music used to be something that inspired me, now I feel nothing from it.”
Cause
r/PSSD first-person OP u/Sensitive_Extreme_51 (post 1uj9eae; also 1umlsgr): attributes blank mind + inability to feel emotions to PSSD after multiple SSRIs (~4–5 tried over years for depression/anxiety/OCD per 1ke91la).
Duration
Ongoing at Jun–Jul 2026 PSSD posts; multi-year SSRI exposure history
Recovery notes
Off meds briefly felt able to enjoy things more but still not fully happy/pleasure from music/friends (1umlsgr). OCD severity makes full cessation hard. No recovery of blank mind + emotions claimed.
