Am i alone with this?

[Lindsey14]

Anyone else feel emotionally numb or heartless with their anxiety or depression?

[weegmack]

I do. Honestly, it’s like someone came during the night and stole my emotions. My main problem up until last year was anxiety (I have GAD). But I had a complete breakdown last August (2017) and still feel very depressed. Some days it feels like I can’t even form a smile on my face. So yeah, I’m with you on this one. X

Glad im not alone...also is gad a lot different from just anxiety?

[weegmack in reply to Lindsey14]

It’s more intense I suppose - Generalised Anxiety Disorder is what I was diagnosed with. So it means I’m irrationally anxious about lots of little things - especially health. I hate it 😕

Sounds like me too :/

hello, i just wanted to say that your not alone. i feel that way too though actually not all time. but i still experince it and sometimes for many days at a time. i dont like to be out of touch with my feelings, sometimes i try to use shock or trauma memories to get at least some feelings back though they are negative and scary feelings.

but this have caused me alot of pain too, right now i try to live life as if it where as i wanted it too be. and trying to do things i would do if i was happy.

this has been really really hard for the first days and weeks, but is slightly beginning to fell just a little bit better.

i dont really now if it helps, its only a story about my life and how it have touched me, and i know your life might be diffrent.

yes all the time:(( like ex, sometimes i’ll get so mad at people for no reason and i don’t feel bad at all but then like hours/days later i’ll realize how heartless i acted and just feel so bad and guilty for how numb i was and not noticing how i was treating someone. but just know you aren’t alone and i wish the best for u!

Yes, I currently feel like this. I’d rather feel sad or something than like this.

[Lindsey14 in reply to Hidden]

Me too

I think we get to a point we just can't care anymore, it weighs us down too much and we are overloaded then stop caring. It's a balance between getting tough but keeping a tender heart that is hard. btw, this has helped so many and me too: Take magnesium and ginseng to calm the mind body and spirit and get rid of those sticky negative thoughts the loop around. It truly helps! =)
