My symptom: can't feel emotions

Hi,

I am 27, male and have been diagonosed with hyopthyroidism and have been taking synthetic thyroxine for 3 years. I have good reason to believe I also have adrenal fatigue (see below).

Over the past 6 months I have felt really bad and my doctor couldn't find anything wrong with me. My main symptom is that I can't feel any emotions. I can do things I supposedly enjoy but feel nothing. I feel like I can't put a smile on my face. When I tell people about this they say "but now you're smiling". But inside I feel really bad. I try putting a fake smile sometimes and I see that in the mirror it looks very good. I see people mentioning a symptom called "low energies", perhaps this is it. Parents & friends either tell me that I look completely healthy or that I should go to a psychologist but I know that I have no such issues.

I read Dr. Wilson's book on adrenal fatigue, scored for moderate adrenal fatigue, done the iris dilation & blood tests and both showed that I have adrenal fatigue. I also have many of the symptoms mentioned in the book, such as a feeling of fainting when standing up from a lying position.

I started the vitamin\lifestyle\diet changes he offered 3 months ago. For most of the time, my symptoms have not changed and I feel just as bad. However it did improve my runny nose and it's now much better. Also, roughly once in two weeks I have one VERY GOOD day in which I feel VERY GOOD as I haven't felt in many years. Then the day after I am bad again. I try to log what I did and reproduce the effect but cannot.

Before the treatment I had very strong hypoglycemic attacks on which my friends used to say that I sometimes "turn off" until I get food to eat, and it was well-known that when I say that we need to go to eat we would go. And until I ate I could barely function. Now with the treatment I eat low-glycemic-index foods and in-between meals I snack on carobs all the time, that really helps with the hypoglycemic symptoms and can delay my sudden "fall" so I can delay meals if I need (not for too long!). However that has not helped the other symptoms.

My questions:
1. Most important: does anyone else have my symptom of not feeling emotions?
2. Any ideas on how to cure it?
3. Does it seem like it is adrenal-related or thyroid-related?
4. Any other suggestions?

Thank you.
