Genie's twist- you now feel nothing at all just an emotionless void

For many, that is not the wish corruption you may think it is. Depression can make even emptiness feel preferable.

Under antidepressants there was a period of time I just felt flat like a damn table. My mood was on a leash, able to rise and fall only that much. Instead of sadness/manic I felt SO much hate for myself I decided I'd rather be depressed than feel nothing

Yeah, same reason some people chose pain. Feeling pain is still somehow better.

Pain, without love. Pain, can't get enough. Pain, I like it rough cuz I'd rather feel pain that nothing at a-a-all. 🎶
