I have always felt so much guilt for being depressed. Logically I know I'm not well but I still feel guilt.

I feel like I'm going to lose this friend and that's the last thing I want.

Can anyone relate? In my case it involved my obsession for money and spending to made my happy. In desperation I did something I regret with every piece of my heart. I'm so embarrassed and shamed. The guilt is killing me.

Is it normal to feel numb while depressed? Like, Your emotions are dull?
No, being numb is not the same as being heartless, not at all. Sometimes, we shut down for any number of reasons, and it is self-protective, or a defense against being overwhelmed. Perhaps look at… read more
