I feel dead to the world, but not to the degree you suffer. Mine is more a constant dysthymia with periodic bouts of depression about once a year. With the bouts of depression, I have suffered all the symptoms you described except for the lack of smell. I hope you get to feeling better. It's weird that the "numbness" of depression can be so painful (numbess is usually the absence of pain). Hmmm...maybe I'm getting tripped up in semantic B.S.MB
