Which is worse- feeling nothing or feeling everything? I can't decide.

Feeling everything usually all at once....I tend to go down to overwhelm....because of this!

For me I'm self destructive when I'm in either states but it's different for each. Both are extremely scary though. The last time I was feeling everything I made a permanent screw up and I'm hoping now that I'm feeling nothing I won't do the same.

I would have to say feeling nothing is worse. I went a year on medicine that left me numb from feelings and it got to the point where I just wanted to feel. So meds have been changed.

Can relate to the permanent screw up! I've done a lot of those.....

I kinda wish I was medicated. That's what I was originally going to make this post about- medicated vs not medicated.

Why has medication not worked for you? Are you willing to give it a go again?

I never really had the option. I was on a low dosage of benzos as PRN and then much later once a week anti-depressants but I had to stop cos they made me extremely nauseous and my pdoc thought I should give them a break. Just as well. A few weeks into that break I found out I'm pregnant so no meds for another 8 or so months at least.

I feel overwhelmed just by your post! Too much - Everything - is overwhelming- but feeling nothing is so bland and flat. Can't there be an intermediary state? The meds I'm on now don't completely leave me flat and emotionless- but I have been there - the walking zombie. I would rather be medicated and stable or as stable as I CAN be and feel something. I guess what bothers me about Everything all at once is my inability to manage it. We can only take SO much at once - good or bad, flat or feeling. But we're left with a mental hangover with good intentions. Or at least I am... Hmm.

You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
