Medication for depression does not "numb", it either helps lift the depression or it doesn't work. Medication that numbs is probably to help with anxiety feelings and they are not part of one's personality.

I have a wonderful imagination which I enjoy but I use to "use" it in ways that did not help me live well. Worrying about the future, for example; why, since it is the future and no one can know what is going to happen, should I only imagine bad scenarios? Why not practice imagining good or neutral ones? Therapy helped me see how I was using my imagination, sense of humor, honesty, intelligence and other personal traits and I learned how to use them in ways that were helpful for me rather than that got in my way.

You should never give up something you love or enjoy about yourself but you should get to know yourself well so you can identify, truly, what and why you love and enjoy.
