Anyone else?

Sometimes I get so depressed that things don’t seem real anymore. My touch with reality leaves, and I feel like anything could happen. It scares me. Deep down I know that certain things could happen, or certain things have happened.. but none of it feels real. I want to talk to my husband about it, but I’d feel crazy if I did. Anyone else?

I can remember sitting in a crowd a few months ago and never feeling so alone before in my life. So much so it was as if it wasn’t real. I sat their numb to everything.

That’s how I feel sometimes too. We could be out at a function or just grocery shopping.. and I’d just get this numb feeling and it didn’t feel right or real. I hate the feeling so much

I embrace it. Because when you think about it. We are alone. I find it empowering. It doesn’t scare me or bother me.

Hi Kafil,

If you trust your husband enough to really "hear" you, I don't think it would hurt to talk to him. It may make you feel a sense of relief to tell someone you are close to. If you think he may react negatively, maybe you should talk to a professional counselor before you talk to your husband. Don't think about being looked at as "crazy". You recognize something is off and you want to talk to your loved one about it. There isn't anything wrong with that. Don't give up on getting the help you need and know we are here to help and listen too.
