When You Don’t Feel Anything During Your Depression

Not as Sensitive Now

I am usually not quite as emotionally sensitive as I used to be.  I don’t know why.  I don’t know if it’s because my meds are numbing me out, or if it’s because of learning DBT skills.  Or a bit of both.  I know that some things are below the surface and that someday they’ll explode.  I won’t be able to hold it in any longer.  I don’t know when that will be.  I’ve been doing well for several months now.   I try to be there for my family every day.  They need me to be a wife, mother, etc.  I think that’s a huge part of it.  I have to put on my “Happy” mask every day, until I become really numb because I’m so used to wearing it 24/7.

Does anyone else experience this?  What do you think it is?  Do you think it’s a form of protecting myself from too much emotional pain?  What should I do?  I blog.  That helps quite a bit.  I feel a lot of support from followers on my blog, Facebook, etc.

Thanks everyone for listening to me vent.  It is so appreciated.

Till next time,

Feelings You Can’t Describe to Others

Just looking back at some of my FaceBook shares and noticed this post.  I never knew how to describe this feeling, but this sums it up perfectly!  Other people just can’t understand how this feels, but at least they can validate your feelings.
