It helped some, but my depression ebbs and flows normally anyway so I am not sure how much of the relief was from my meds and treatment.

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
Agree with Patsy! I stayed way 2 long in both marriages!!!!
I have lost my desire to live. I'm not suicidal, but thoughts of my death sits on my mind like a jack in the box waiting to spring into action
I am unemployed and with financial struggles, feel the pressure of getting a job overwhelming. i feel like I'm not able to commit to anything because I will fail. My depression takes over, my body hurts and I'm not able to get out of bed. I would just end up losing whatever job I manage to get
