Thwarted in hope, desire, or expectation

Geez, if I could get through to you, kiddo, that depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling. Reduction, see? Of all feeling. People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile. - Guest Judith

I guess I need that "reduction of feeling" so I'll be less disappointed and have less stuff to think about right now. Maybe feeling"less" is much better.
