is this part of what recovery feels like?

I don't feel my emotions going up and down. Instead, it's just flat. It's not a depression either. It's just monotonous. It's not emptiness either.

I am so NOT used to this. Guess I'm so used to the ups and downs... This monotonous and 'flat' emotions feels weird... Maybe I'm just not used to it...

Anybody having similar experiences? Or anybody who had experience this?

Flat emotions? I tend to get them after dealing with a very emotional and draining issue. I see it as my mind and soul recognizing I need a break.

I don't know I'd say it's 'recovery', just like more upsetting emotions I urge you to observe this as well. As we can easily get attached to a particular emotion or mindset and then when it floats away(as it will), we get upset. This is not meant to be pessimistic but realistic. Although I would definitely say to take advantage of it - A lot of middle ground can be found when you don't have extreme emotions tugging at you.
