Yeah full emotions are much better. We are supposed to cry. This might sound funny but I love crying ever once in a while. It maked you feel alive.

SSRI's (Zoloft and Prozac are the only ones I've ever taken) don't seem to really increase feelings of pleasure for me, but they do seem to numb my negative feelings a bit.
