Just replied to another post that I have no feelings...and I don't!

I'm can't feel happy, sad, proud, fear, lonely, nothing, love...like someone else said i just feel numb...I can't even CRY!

I can't say that I don't know what to do anymore...because I do...I need to face my failures and go all the way back to the beginning and start over. But I can't find the energy, the desire, the motivation...I can't feel anything!!! NOTHING...I don't even want to eat! I am so tired of feeling this way!!!

and I certainly can't AFFORD to not be able to feel anything!!!!

I HAVE to go to work! BUT I CANT!

AAARRGGHHHHHH...

UGH...someone please HELP ME!...or tell me when this be over?...or how to get over this crap...PLEASE!

I know it doesn't seem like it now but things will get better. I have major treatment resistant depression and it comes and goes when ever I'm in a really dark place I just keep telling my self it will get better. I also reach out to friends here at daily support. Hang in there, I believe in you!

Are you in treatment or taking any meds sometimes a switch in meds can do the trick, just talking about it can help and journaling can help to.

Hope this helps, feel free to friend me.

I dont know what will help you personally but i can try and help. I have dug myself out of some pretty dark times. I dont think you need to face your failures if you have failed (dont rehash you failures)but just accept the fact that you failed if indeed you have :-) Everyone fails. You just need to believe you will succeed and you will succeed once you get started :-) This is what i have found holds me back. Feeling like i will not succeed but I know i will succeed at something. I have a feeling you will succeed as well.

thanks for the support and suggestions...I'm trying...but I just feel worse or overwhelmed...i washed a few dishes, took out the trash, and am trying to fix me some soup...but all of that exhausts me...and I just want to go to bed...and sleep...when I have so much to do...I just can't do it! I am going to try journaling when I finish eating...see if I can organize my thoughts and tasks but I just don't its so hard to do anything but ramble!

over and over and over that's all I can do is ramble about how I need to do all this stuff but just don't feel like doing any of it.

DEPRESSION HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depression does hurt, and it's exhausting. I've always had it at different times of my life, but after I had my daughter I had PPD. Do you remember that commercial for a depression med that had a wind up lady.. She'd go a few inches and just run out of energy, and have to wind herself up again?

I couldn't believe it, that's exactly how I've felt. I just push for a little bit, and I feel like I'm back where I started.. Tired, bleh. I think journaling is a great idea!

My meds took away all my feelings, and I'm glad. I'v never felt happiness in my life - ever. All I've ever felt is pain and sadness - so I'd rather feel nothing.
