Depression doesn’t always have to be feelings of sadness necessarily, sometimes you can just feel emotionally numb.
But I havent been sad like before. My depression last year felt like depression. The symptoms matched but now it is confusing I cant identify what has happened. Sometimes I even doubt if i really have mental illness or not
Sounds like you might want to talk to a doctor and see if there are antidepressants that might help you. It did help me!
I belong to a family where mental health isnt given importance, moreover my financial status is not that good. I dont feel comfortable talking about all this to anyone. Pls watch my latest post too ,thanks
@raj123 I’m so sorry. I know there are many resources out there, and more people willing to lend an ear and car than you know
I would recommend that you talk with your doctor. Depression can look different to different people. I don't know if that is what you are experiencing but I think it cannot hurt to talk with a doctor, therapist or psychiatrist about this. Have you spoken to your family about how much this really bothers you? I wonder if they knew how much you are suffering they may be open to getting you help? I read below that mental health isn't really talked about much in your family. There are places that offer low payments and places that take insurance plans. Please reach out to get the help you need.
As someone living in a period of pretty bad depression rn (although it always passes), I relate to a lot of this: I will sometimes check out completely, I feel like I am a period of my life where I am just waiting (this is partially because I am actually in a period of my life where I am waiting on something pretty big), but I've been feeling this way all year, and I can definitely say that depression DOES NOT have to=sadness.
I feel so weird these days. Like I feel blank empty person with no emotions. I mean i still do get anxiety here and there but like no emotions or guilt. I see scary movies and feel no reaction, I imagine hurting other and don’t feel any guilt more like the idgaf typa feeling, before I would be in mental torture crying and depressed about being scared I was a serial killer. I would break down but no I feel urges still by no anxiety or anything. I feel mental and crazy. I would be so excited to wear makeup and excited about impressing guys and dating, but now they don’t seem real to me. Before I would care about OCD and now I’m more like idgaf anymore or what I do. What is going on ?! Am I the only one experiencing this.?
Hey, I haven’t been on here in a longgg time and this isn’t necessarily OCD related but I want to tell someone how I’m feeling in the hopes that maybe someone else sort of relates and then maybe we can talk? I don’t know, I’m just a little scared at the moment and could do with some comfort I guess. Ok so the best way to describe how I’m feeling is empty. I’m not sure that I actually feel emotions much anymore. I’m not happy or sad and it’s scaring me, but obviously at the same time it isn’t because the only proper emotions I’m experiencing right now are hopelessness and emptiness. I just want to be able to feel again and I really don’t want this to be a big problem. Does anyone know if it’s even possible for me to get my emotions back? Can I back to normal, although I’m not too sure how normal feels anymore, or how feeling feels anymore. Also, I’m not even sure if that is what’s going on with me. I can barely feel things but at the same time my brains like nah it’s probably nothing, you’ve just not got any reason to feel anything right now. I feel exhausted and without motivation everyday. Thank you to anyone who’s read this, I hope nobody relates but please tell me if you do. I just want to talk.
I feel so burnt out. I’m not enjoying life anymore. I’m either extremely bored, sad, pr anxious at work, I come home and don’t even want to cook, watch Netflix but don’t even want to watch anything, and just want to crawl in bed, cry, and go to bed. I don’t want to do anything and work, chores, cooking, etc. are extremely hard for me to do. I compare myself to my roomate who works from home, is accomplished in her job, cooks a lot, enjoys tv, and way more extroverted and mature than I am. Sometimes it gets annoying and it’s the last thing I need. She sometimes “mothers” me and makes sure I know what I’m doing in the kitchen. I feel like I can’t talk to an erp therapist about things like this because I think it’s more than just erp therapy that I need. I’m struggling to take care of myself and don’t enjoy things anymore. I’m scared but feel numb about the future. I’m just exhausted, annoyed, and bored all the time. I also feel like I don’t like myself and judge myself constantly. I wish I could be more confident, have a more fun personality, felt motivated to do things, actually enjoy them, and have friends and family who would 100% understand me. I also wish I was more so a leader but I’m not. How can I live a more exciting life? I’m so bored and depressed everyday. I hate it.
