I don't feel anything, almost numb

[irwmn2]

I just can't feel things any more, it almost feels numb. I failed my classes and I couldn't feel anything about it. I don't have no excitement about future. I don't even want to get a boyfriend. I feel like I am frozen in an ice cube, making me numb and unable to move. I try to appreciate little things and remind myself that I am blessed but I feel so numb.

I feel the same way! I started on Pristiq 2 months ago and while it’s helped a lot with stabilizing my mood, it’s taken away all emotion, hence feeling numb. It’s a really scary feeling and it’s really worrying me. I’m torn though. Do I stay on it cause it has evened my mood out, which is great, or stop because of the numbness? What to do!?

I know exactly what you guys are feeling, that’s great that it’s working maybe take less of it and see if the numbness slowly goes away

Maybe it really isn’t working. Maybe Im confusing the numb feeling with the meds working? I’m thinking, hey, I feel great, not worrying about anything. But the feeling is so to the extreme it’s scary! You could tell me something bad happened to a friend or loved one and I really don’t think I would care. Nice huh? Can you imagine what a piece of crap I feel like!? I feel like a monster. Who feels this way!?

I never used pills but maybe you can ask that your doctor? I hope you get better and better in time, sending lovee
