Does anyone ever feel like they have no love left in them?
I feel empty.. I don’t feel love for my partner, for my kids, for my parents, my family! what is seriously wrong with me. It’s a very strange feeling. I lost my empathy too.

For context, I am in my 40s, kids, partner, nice house, nice car, financially fine.

Anyone experienced this?

I was going to say I have definitely felt this as part of the menopause. Just sick of caring for everyone and no love left . Not sure I was or am depressed but often I feel just like leaving everyone to get on with it and sort themselves out as frankly I am fed up of it!

This does sound a lot like a symptom of depression.

I’ve had periods of feeling like this but I’ve felt happy in myself, it was just I had no tolerance or interest in others. I was early 30s.

Depression, maybe perimenopause? Definitely speak to GP, you're not 'not normal' and you should be able to get help.

I been recently feeling this way I am in my 30s also kids, married etc.
I noticed the change in 2023/2024. I would say to be more specific when I stopped breastfeeding DS1

Depression? I think an appointment with the gp in order.

That’s the same feeling as being depressed. Have you considered that? Have you spoken to your GP?
