Feeling Numb

[MeganPR2]

I’ve been feeling so numb lately. I don’t feel like myself, like I’ve lost my spark. I’m filled with anxiety and depression and can’t seem to get out of it. I want to be myself again.

Hi Megan,

What's wrong? What has you feeling this way? I know the numb. Been there. It's a desperate feeling. I have been told the numb is a defensive reaction. I do not know about you, but I get tired in this state.

So, feel free to express yourself here. No judgements.

I'm sorry to hear your struggling. There have been many many days that I felt like that. So I understand that. I sometimes don't have the right words to say but I wanted to reply to let you know your not alone. I hope things get better. 🙏

I've been feeling this a lot lately too. I feel like I keep trying to do things to make my life better and it never works out. I'll go out by myself to try to be social and there's no one there who wants to talk to me. Or I make plans with a friend and she flakes on me (again!) and can't be bothered to even text me while I sit and wait all night.

Normally what helps me is doing something in nature like hiking. I wish I could do that now but I'm having surgery on my legs in a few weeks because of an issue and can't really walk much. Maybe that could work for you though. Or just try doing anything different that might inspire you or get you out of a routine and the funk you're in. Hope things get better soon!
