Hi,

I'm a student and I'm new to posting on forums, in fact I'm new to asking/admitting I need help but I've been going through a rough patch recently. Scared to go out, worrying, not eating, not sleeping etc but 7 weeks ago I got antidepressants from my GP. So far I feel they are helping slightly, good days are more common and well I sleep better at least, but my moods come and go and that's where I have a question. I say things I don't mean and sometimes I don't even realise that what I'm saying is hurtful .. until i've said it. I dont mean to hurt anyone. Sometimes i dont actually remember what i've said. i seem to have become heartless, not caring about things I used to care about. Is it the depression that is making me like this? Or have I just become a horrible selfish person? That's what I feel like. Is it possible that antidepressants make you numb to things that other people find upsetting? Will the antidepressants eventually help my moods?

Thank you
