That feeling...

I've had this feeling for over a year now... It's right under my sternum and it feels empty. It's like I'm grieving but I don't know why. I used to be depressed and I never really recovered, just went off my meds.
I've been around people I care about and I just don't feel anything. Like my emotions *just aren't there*. All I feel is empty, even when I'm surrounded with love. Any feeling of happiness is fleeting, like that that comes with laughter. Then it's back to the emotional mute button.
I don't remember the last time I was filled with joy, happiness or even acceptance. I want to feel happy but don't know how.
Has anybody ever reconnected with themselves emotionally? How did you do it (I'm looking to try to be normal without using any kind of drugs).
Thanks in advance for your words.

well i had spent many many years of my life like this, for me i got reconnected after shit got alot wose for me (locked away in a rehab/school/etc out of the country against my will for about 10 months)
when i got home i started to enjoy life a bit more with my freedom. but more than that it was the choice to be happy. my life didnt change, i changed my life.
its just a question of taking a long hard honest look at your life and asking yourself what is it that makes me un happy, what is it that makes me happy, and why am i not creating a better reality for my self.
Now medication can help some people feel better wihout changing their lives, and so can drugs. But its a treatment for the problem, not a solution to it.
i am curious as to what meds you were on and how much you were taking. also how long ago you got off of them.
