Feeling emotionally numb because of depression

Oh honey, I'm sorry to hear about this but there is nothing you can do about it. Depression is the hardest of all things I ever had to faced and I've been through what you are going through already. Until you decide to start fighting depression until you beat it, you are not going to get better. It takes a lot of will and a lot of courage to get up and change your life bit by bit each day. Only when you feel ready for this, only when you start with the proper treatment will you be able to become emotionally stable again.

Nina is right, Guest. All people suffering from depression have a huge problem when it comes to relationships or their marriages. In most cases, if their partner isn't willing enough to stand by their side during this period, they eventually separate.

You need to fight depression, if you don't do it, then you won't be able to be in a normal relationship and trust me, a very small amount of people are willing to put up with someone who is suffering from depression. So what can I tell you, snap out of it, seek professional help if you can't do it on your own, but do something about it.

I am in the same situation as I was when I wrote my question here 3 days ago, nothing has changed.

By what I was able to conclude reading your replies, I shouldn't even try to get into a relationship until I get over my depression, am I right? I mean, even though I think that I will feel better if I have someone around, it will probably do me even worse because this person probably won't want to stay with me once she sees how I really am.

To hell with all this, I don't need no girlfriend or anyone, I will just stay alone for the rest of my life.

Stop being a crybaby and pull yourself together. You are a man, do you want your girlfriend to have to take care of your emotional problems, you are so weak that you can't do that yourself? Good job, that is the answer, stay alone for the rest of your life and you have everything settled then.

Snap out of it, God damn it. Turn your life around, it ain't that hard once you start. You want to lead a normal life and get rid of this depression, don't you? Well, you have to work on it to get there so don't act like a crybaby, be strong!

At first I thought that you were being too hard on him Deni, but I think that if there was someone by his side to push him like you would, I think that he would have big chances of getting out of this mess pretty fast.

Is there anyone around who you really trust, Guest, who you consider to be smart or intelligent? You can try talking to these people, since you respect them, you are actually going to listen to them and probably take their advice for serious. Either that or a psychologist, but I would always go first with friends or family.

Hi. That is just one of the symptom of the depression. There are a lot of explanation why this happens.For example, emotional numbness is the inability to feel much of anything in the first place, and I don't know if this can be worse than already is:/

In that case, things that used to make us feel happy or elicit a smile produce a weak response or nothing. I have been in this situation and people started to blame me because I don't have any kind of feelings anymore. For example, something that caused anger for me before, now it is a different story - I don't have a will to talk about it and when I do, my face is pretty much the same. One of the causes can definitely be depression and I believe that in this case you are just too tired and weary to emote.

Good day.

That is a part of the life when everyone needs to feel like this. I was feeling really blue two years ago and I was so emotionally numb because of the depression as well. I know that something in my life made me really angry and when this happened again I was totally OK with it. My friends were surprised, but very soon they notice that I have no emotions for anything, It is very hard to tell, but I had the same emotions for my family and those walls who are around me. 

It can be very creepy condition. 

Look, that is not a condition that happens out of the nowhere. Something in your life must happened before you start to feel emotionally numb for anything.
But Marc, like others already told you, you need to find the proper treatment for this stage that you are into at this moment. Feeling emotionally numbness is not something that you should just let go. It can't happen, because it can lead to a serious problem. You need to understand that your life has changed totally and that it takes a little longer than you expected until you change your life again. It is a long process but you need to do something about it.
