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?
Me too
i've been on here for a little while trying to find help and recently ive been moving between psychologists but i've just been like this since about i was 8 and when i was diagnosed officially in july ive trying to get better but it doesn't help and before i was diagnosed i knew something was wrong i honestly hated honestly being alive and alls i did when i would be at school is hide in the library listening to music and just reading but when i wasn't there i hold myself up in my room and rarely… read more
I find myself in the same predicament. I stopped taking medication because after so many years of taking it, I felt I was walking around with no feelings whatsoever. I have been trying to do without… read more
I find myself watching tv & my mind isn't really watching it & I will start crying uncontrollably for no reason. Is there a way to stop this crying so much when I don't even know why or what I'm crying about?
Hi
You've been extremely quiet lately, Strawberry.
Doing OK or issues??

Hi. I'm really needing support right now Has anyone here had a really negative effect(s) on Wellbutrin ER? I'm experiencing weight gain, crying ( I am not someone that cries unless I'm angry or severely depressed). I feel empty, like I'm nothing. The first part of the year I was doing well, lost weight, cut bad food out of my diet. But ever since my third month on this I've gone back to eating too much and then guilt and I relapsed back into sh after three months without it. I've gone off of… read more
I developed a terrible itchy rash from Wellbutrin that lasted many weeks. I have not been able to take any psych meds at all due to side effects.
There is a test you can get (cheek swab) that will… read more
I read over and over about people like us crying a lot. I’ve never been able to, as far back as I can remember. It’s not that it bothers me so much . I just don’t understand it. I was just told my favorite fur baby died this morning. Not a tear. Not much feeling. In fact almost a feeling of relief , one less thing to have to care about. I can feel my mother watching me for something. I guess I’ll have to give her some kinda reaction so she’ll feel I’m grieving.
Kinda sick huh.
I have fear and anxiety over future events that I should cry at that I won't be able to.
Background info: I've been depressed for over 25 years, was married, and had 2kids. I have been alone for over 16 years now, and can't believe that someone would even want to be with me. For all my shortcomings, depression and lack of self esteem. My kids mean the world to me, but they are older now and moving on with their own lives. I'm scared, terrified and afraid to even want to get close to someone male. I don't want just sex, i want a relationship. One that isn't one sided, on my… read more
Someone told me this a few years ago & could not understand what was meant, but now understand & am feeling really good about myself, so much that I am now ready to take that step forward & find that… read more
Weeks ago, I couldn't stop crying. Now it feels like I have hardly any tears to cry anymore. Nothing seems to matter like it used to, I don't feel the love that I used to feel for my family and my boyfriend. I don't even care if he messages me or not, whereas it used to really bother me a lot where I would have really bad anxiety attacks or panic attacks when I wouldn't hear from him in hours. I almost feel like I am a zombie just going through the motions in life, hardly no sadness or anger… read more
That was awesome so happy for you
I often look at photos and ask what happened to me. Can we ever bring ourselves back?
I can't even remember how I used to be. I know I wasn't depressed or having any panic attacks. This stuff gets old
Hey, do you ever feel that way
I feel really heavy often and I lack the energy to even converse with people
When I play sports I run out of breath very quickly and I used to be a competitive athlete with amazing cardio.
I've done all the tests out there and keep going back to my GP and my doc what else can we test and do about it.
Of course all th tests came back negative. It's been lasting for about 3 years now and is so debilitating. I also feel slow and sluggish often.
Do you… read more
Daily I feel so tired no energy I know what I need to do or what I need to get done but have no energy to do it. Some days I have to push to shower. This is what depression can do to a person
How do you do it? I just don't care about myself. I know how to care for myself. I'm asking how to care ABOUT myself.
Everything I do is for someone else or because I'm "supposed" to do it but nothing that has to do with my own wants and needs seems important enough to me to prioritize.
I know logically that I'm supposed to care about myself. Care what I eat or how healthy I am but I just...don't.
How do I change this?
Don’t forget to see doctors
