Don't know how I feel.

Alright well I've been feeling like this for a good couple weeks now...not knowing how I feel, there is just no word to describe it. I am not talking about feeling anxious or depressed I'm still experiencing those feelings as well but there's something else. Whenever I try to think about it and figure out what it could be I just end up feeling numb and confused. Its like trying to get into a part of my brain that's locked me out if that makes any sense. I don't know really hard to describe.

Anyways I just don't understand it. Can anyone else relate to this sort of thing?

I can relate to this. I tried to think of a way to describe it and had no idea how to as well. The first quote in my signature is the best way that I can think of...

That "something else" is the real You. The smart beautiful human being you realy are. I dont think you are tanking up anger or stuff like that.

What a beautiful thought Thunder Bow! I just wished I believed it

I often feel the same way. Just like an abyss of a perpetual purgatory. Like waiting, for what I don't know.

Just existing. That's how I would describe it. Like not feeling anything. Not depression or anxiety, Just nothing.

I can totally relate. I guess the only comfort in this is that I'm not alone

i was actually about to start a thread somewhere which related to this... and i was going to call it, " are you ever sad about being depressed?", but then it dawned on me that i'd confuse a lot of people with that title so i'm still thinking of the right context before posting it.

Thank you for this thread. I am really struggling with this too, seems no rhyme or reason to it.

You feel numb, then you hear a song and get misty eyed or remember something and get anxious, and then...nothing. Been trying to channel anger and even that fails sometimes.

I worry. I worry that something is seriously not right with me and it totally stresses me.

I am not so sure, it doesn't exactly feel like anything positive, I can't really explain it too well but its not really a good feeling. I don't think its really anger though I have no idea what specifically it is...I guess kind of an empty feeling like something that should be there isn't but I don't even know what should be there that isn't.

Its a nice idea though.

Hi and yes I can relate completely, but I haven't gotten to the point where you are yet. Its good you know something is there. In time it will surface. Congratulations though you are growing and it will be okay.

I remember feeling that way on a particular anti-depressant, but I can't remember the name of it.

What I said is really there in you. You may be letting go of old feelings and old ways of thinking, thus you lost some old ways that were important to you in the past. The empty feelings are around that, and will pass over time.

I have this problem too. It's like I feel other things such as sadness and pain but there's worthing else there. I don't know what it is.It makes me frustrated and even more depressed because I hate not knowing things.it sucks.

This, exactly.
