Depression anxiety and numbness

[ChristopherWisham]

I can’t stop thinking about death and everything ending one day and negative thoughts and now I feel my emotions are numb can some one who’s had a similar problem help me please I’m planing on seeing a therapist after I get Medicare but I need help now the pain of numbness and these thoughts are overwhelming I need serious help it hurts so much some times I want to die

I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. I too worry constantly about dying and about what happens when we die. But I once watched a video about a man who planned a sky dive and he panicked and worried for days right up until he jumped out of the plane and when he did it he realised he had spent so much time worrying and panicking when actually there was no need to waste that energy days before as it wasn't happening. Worry about those things when it's staring you in the face..not days or years before it happens. I know it's hard as it inevitable but life is short and precious, try not to think about death..And think about one thing per day you can do because you are alive. Be grateful for one thing everyday you get to achieve because you're alive.. Does that help? X

It helps a little bit I wanna get rid of thinking about it so I can enjoy life

I’ve had this worry, it consumed my thoughts for a couple weeks straight. I

Cried, which is healthy because death is very sad. It took really facing it and mourning it, then I could accept it more. I still struggle sometimes but it has brought me to a deeper spiritual place too. I did have to start taking Lexapro because I sunk into a depression. I am doing better now.

Will I be able to enjoy life again or will it be a constant problem

[Hidden in reply to ChristopherWisham]

I’m starting to enjoy life again and I thought there was no way I would again.

I watch videos by Douglas Bloch to help me as well, he has a YouTube channel on depression

[ChristopherWisham in reply to Hidden]

Yeah I’ve watched some of his videos but get this problem where I have this foggy haze in my mind like I’m not real it’s weird and eating food or going out or doing hobbies aren’t enjoyable at all nothing I do is. Is this the depression or something else?

[Hidden in reply to ChristopherWisham]

Sounds like depression, are you on any medications?

[ChristopherWisham in reply to Hidden]

No not at the moment I’m going to see a movie with my family now maybe that will help a little

[Hidden in reply to ChristopherWisham]

Well depression can last months not treated, medication can work. It’s working for me
