I had previously posted a thing about going through periods of feeling "numb" and because of this going off of my meds. Several of you told me that going off my meds is a classic BP thing to do and to keep taking them no matter what. Others of you told me to talk to my doc about the way I feel and maybe I need a med change.
Well I did talk to my doc and was told that if it was my meds I would consistently feel "numb" for more than just a few days at a time, but that it probably wasn't the meds but just all the stress I am under right now with my husband going to prison, and problems at work and financial issues.
It's not so much I mind the "numb" feeling but it is the bottom falling out when I do start to feel again. I hate to admit it but those are the worst when I actually sometimes feel I would kill myself just to make the pain and suffering stop. Please help I don't know where to go from here!!

Seems you have shutdown certain parts of your emotions. As though you put that part of your life on hold.
I think talking to a therapist or social worker/ counselor would be a good start too.
You can put those things off forever that you need to process or they will come out in other ways.
You have to feel...
