Was Wondering On Anyone's Bad Days Do They Ever Feel Numb Inside?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hard to describe this but I mean like does anyone feel numb at times but just carries on with daily life. Like as if you don't want to do anything. You feel nothing but no point explaining to anyone knowing they won't understand as they haven't been through depression and that?

Yes, too bad it's now so far down the Q&A, but for a little while my team members were using it quite often, your idea is a good one.

Yes, and that is why I will have to have brainless, repetitive jobs for the rest of my life. I just cannot learn very difficult jobs anymore.

Some people use criticism as a way of critiquing. They should try to soften up their motif. There are a lot of great possibilities to critiquing, but some people get the two confused. The receiver and… read more

Who Suffers From Memory Loss?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I find I forget quite significant things that have happened from the day before. My processing skills are really slow, and I find it really difficult to concentrate and not loose my way in conversations. If someone asks me what they have just said, I can't remember. I can't follow TV programmes and films, I can't concentrate on them long enough for them to makes sense.

Yes it is certainly scary
It frustrates me that ppl don’t understand that you can’t process or retain things like you used to.
