Why does it feel like I've lost myself and emotions?

[Lindsey14]

I'm scared I've lost touch with myself and my feelings. Im scared I don't even know what love is anymore.....Why am I like this?

Hi.. I feel the same way. Very disconnected from relationships that are actually deep rooted.

I think is a face of depression that we have to accept - but while we accept it we must remember is a distorted reality. People we are around do care about us, love us. You and I may feel... isolated in the strangest way. But my partner (who is a doctor) reminds me that its because of a distorted reality and we must hold on tight.

Hey. Sometimes its easier to reach out to a stranger also. You can hit me up too

Feel good, and remember. Baby steps first, always

Rooting for you!

This is a way the mind protects itself again painful feelings and emotions we have buried. What you need to do is start tackling these, maybe with the help of counselling.

This isn't an easy or quick option as obviously it's traumatic to get to the root of them. It is very worthwhile though.

Not 'possibly' make it definitely.

You’re like this because you are like the rest of us unfortunate people to be sufferers of anxiety and depression.

Nothing is wrong with you, but I will say that each week that passes that you don’t seek some sort of therapy or counseling, the future weeks ahead you’ll be feeling and saying these same things. Acknowledging or accepting you need help is the first step, next is getting help, you can improve and your quality of life can get better if you choose to.
