Hi! I'm just looking for some reassurance & advice. I'm currently going through a depressive episode due to my bipolar and I feel completely numb- I can't feel any emotion towards anything or anybody except for being highly agitated. I hate this feeling, has anybody else experienced this? Are there any ways of overcoming?
Thanks 
Idk about emotionless but when im going through a depressive episode either i feel too much all at once or i can't explain what im feeling it's like im here but not really. Talking helps or try to do things even if your mind make you not interested or want to shut out everyone, get up and do things go for a walk or see a movie
I know the feeling. I go from numb and not caring to total sadness and hopelessness
My depressive episodes feel similar. I will be numb towards most emotions but at the same time extremely annoyed/agitated by literally everything. I try to listen to music when I can, I even have a specific upbeat playlist that doesn't have any songs that may trigger painful or sad memories. I watch tv or movies that are funny, even if I don't laugh at them or feel it in the moment I think the positive environment they provide is helpful. I do tend to take more "me" time because I am afraid to go off on someone when I don't mean to, this may not be the best idea but I I think I do it without realizing. On that same note I do everything possible to avoid people that I find hard to deal with. if they are particularly hard for me to handle on a good day then its better I try to keep my distance on a bad one (not always realistic I know).
I'm exactly the same! I avoid people on most days as I know how irritable I am and feel as though I'm unjustifiably snappy with them which in turn results in feeling even lower. Thanks for your advice! It seems never ending, doesn't it? I need an escape.
I can't relate to bipolar issues, but can to feeling agitated and hurt. There are days when I don't feel like living, so I don't take care of my diabetes. I'm heading towards 65 and scared, thinking about my mortality, what will happen to my kid's? One of them is learning disabled?
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you feel you can take care of yourself soon. I seem to look after myself in some ways e.g bathing, hygiene etc but completely neglect myself in other ways like not taking medication, not eating well or at all, sleeping routine, self-loathe etc.
I don't care for myself in anyway, I'm so exhausted chronically. I take short cuts for everything. I spend most of my time in bed. Believe me I hate feeling this way. Thanks for caring
So feeling the same way! (TAKE YOUR MEDS) if anything do that and do not feel guilty, you can't help this. Take care of yourself and pamper yourself even if you don't feel like you are worth it! Reward yourself when you take care of yourself (no guilt, no shame, ask for help, read, small walks (easy for me to say). But most of all, TAKE YOUR MEDS) LOVE YOURSELF for your own uniqueness, everyone deserves love.
