Has this been happening lately? I think for me I don't feel emotions as b/c of my AS. I have major depression and am on antidepressants. Might be depression.

I agree. Sounds like depression.

I agree it sounds like depression, but I also felt like this when was first diagnosed with Aspergers - it was like I lost myself and had to find the new me - felt a little blank for a while..

A transition period, just needed time to regenerate and no I was not depressed. I call it my injured animal moments when I just need time out and withdraw to recover...

Anyway its hard to tell without more info... feel free to discuss with my free on site Clinical Psychologist if require professional advice: http://asplanet.info/forum/index.php?board=19.0

Uh-oh. Sounds bad, Lightbender. I hope you'll let us talk with you through the process.

Interesting I sometimes get that, loosing interest in everything and not feeling everything. Only for a couple of days though, just try and keep yourself entertained, although it's hard.
