When I get to a point where the thoughts of the end and suicide fill my head, my body instanlty seems to 'cut the power' to my body, and I fall into a deep and energy-less state.... I become numb, to keep myself going...

Not sure if I would call it numb. It's like the sudden loss or rush or draining of blood (like when you hear news of death of a loved-one or you're just about to faint) in my extremities.

Not sure I would call it numb because you used the words I would use. I feel the same way at times. I feel "numb" at times also.

i sometimes feel numb. and just let events wash over me. i think it is a blessing. I don't know if it is depression or just a lack of interest. I feel like i am under several feet of water and am unable to surface. Oxygen does not reach my lungs, and i just want to sink to bottom. It is quite peaceful. It is almost a mental excercise when outside stressors encroach. I do not feel, and like it. i wish i could remain numb, and insulated

I "make" myself go numb - it's sort of a combination of having no energy and feeling so helpless that I make myself sleep or zone out so I don't have to hear the thoughts in my head. When I'm that down, I want to remain in the sleep state - your "numb" state. I'm sorry that you're there - the positive side - if you want to hear one - is that I think it's a protective measure to keep the pain away. Downside is it doesn't help you cope in the long run.
Hope you feel better. Or anything.
