Feeling numb to everything feels worse than it does to feel sad. At least with sadness, there’s hope. With numbness there’s nothing, good or bad. It feels like I’m living in limbo, not going anywhere, not feeling anything and not wanting to go on. The numbness can’t be explained to others so there’s no point asking for help when no one can actually help.
The problem with taking anti depressants is that they are somewhat strangely called happy pills when that’s actually the last thing they do. They just make the sky completely grey inside of hoping that the sun can burst out of the clouds. They take away the good feelings when they take away the sad ones.
