Even though I'm in the medical field i think that the natural way is always best. Start working out more, take nice peaceful walks when the sun is shinning bright, eat right, meditate. Go to the health food store and ask them whats the quickest and best vitamins that they carry that will get your serotonin levels up. After you have done all those things then life wont seem so bad, focus on whats good about you and stay there.
Seven deadly sins you'll find which one(s) are you.
No chemical imbalance ( never proven )
Think about it
don't believe anything .
You are depressed because you are very analytical .
The medical world and corporation came up with the " chemical imbalance" term - ( drugs , pills - billion dollar industry)
i went thru depression
last year ( Thru this girl friend i realized what went wrong with me , Google - Covert incest and check out this books " silently seduced " and " emotional incest " .
No pills , NO Drugs Nothing. I taught myself to Get out of it
( Most important lesson learned - My parents never loved me , it was all a system created for me to Give "THEM " love , 2nd lesson - I have a choice , to let it go and aim for the maximum i can in this life )

you'll get it back with time. Usually situations provoke you to react certain ways and you will realize that you havn't lost them at all.
Are you sure you're manic? That usually involves voilent mood swings. For me, when I feel like I'm dead, it's because I've put a wall between my mind and my heart out of fear. I am afraid of feeling because feeling anything usually equates with pain. Don't be afraid. It's all part of living. You've got to find one emotion at a time however small and really focus on each one. Test yourself to see if there is anything you love or hate or anybody you care about. I'm sure it's in there. It's just behind the dam. Oh, and try new meds?
Sometimes in life there are things that our brains dont wish for us to deal with thus blocking out emotions...so then you become at your stage what is termed apathy or apathetic.
As for regaining emotions..i agree with one of the other answer that you need to take tghings slow and go for walks and enjoy things again....i am not sure where you live but if by the beach walk anong the shore at different times of the year and different times of the day....go for walks in parks anywhere and notice the small but wonderful things around you...like the sun orthe snow....or rain....other ppl that look happy specially children.
You could also do some volunteer work and help out others..there are many things that you can do i have just come up with a few sujjestions
