When you don't feel like yourself? Right now I'm looking at a picture right now with me and my boyfriend and I can't seem to connect myself with my surroundings or people.. especially my loved ones.. It's frustrating because I'm emotionally disconnected with important events in my life like my graduation and senior ball when one is supposed to be happy. I was looking forward to those events before this weird thing hit me wherein I had the hardest time feeling any emotion.. All I felt was empty. I couldn't feel happiness or fulfillment from people or events.. I can't feel love or excitement which scares me A LOT. Because I'm usually an emotionally aware person..These milestones like grmeaduating and such excited, I didn't feel anxious for it at all! There was no worry involved and it didn't stress me out.. But now I don't feel anything for these events which make me so frustrated. I should be feeling something for these people and things but I'm just so out of it!
I considered depression, yes. But after trying the emotional freedom techniques, I could finally feel negative emotions (only) and be less fatigued and I eat and function regularly except for the fact that I can't seem to connect to my surroundings, my memories, my dreams and ambitions and my loved ones emotionally.. What could be the problem? It's like there's an invisible wall between me and the people I love...
What should I do? It's very frustrating because it's causing me to think that I don't care about these people or I don't care about my ambitions and dreams anymore especially with my boyfriend and our future even if I know very much that I love him and I'd be lying if I said I didn't. It's like it erased my positive emotions for anything and it's making me think I don't like the things or people I like because of this emptiness I feel when I'm around them...
My birthday is coming up and I just want my mind to be at ease. I might not even feel positive emotions and still feel disconnected with my friends and family on my 18th birthday which makes me so sad because they've worked so hard on my birthday party just to make me feel happy but I'm such an emotional disconnected person right now!
What can I do to connect to my feelings again? Especially for my loved ones.. My therapist says this is a phase and it will pass, I just have to stop saying 'I can't feel anything' and just go with the flow and eventually the feelings will come back. How do I do this without feeling scared and anxious that I will stay this way forever and not love the things I love anymore...? Please help me?

I really hope this is temporary and not something suuuper serious.. :( I just want to know how to get rid of it. Will my therapist's advice help? I really don't want to change anything in my life because it was fine the way it is before this 'phase' came around... I still want to feel the same way about the things and people I love. Will this ever go away?
