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
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?

I now have a bit of trouble showing my emotions. Any tips?
Brake what it is into bite size peices. Like cleaning one shelf in the refrigerator instead of tackling the whole thing at once.that will make it less overwhelming.
