I cannot stand emotions right now.I wish I could be totally numb

[THE16THDOCTOR]

I feel like that a lot. When it happens I go to sleep for long periods of time. Hoping to wake up feeling better and I do sometimes. Ill take Benadryl and knock myself out.
Racing emotions hurt so bad ppl don't understand who don't live with it just how awful it is.

I dislike emoticons in general. They're a poor excuse for the wishes you hope to send to someone. Emoticon's can't replace words or sentiments.

Hi Aiuto ~ Do you feel depressed? If you do, why not visit the Depression forum? They might be able to help you sort things out. Plus, if you're really feeling rotten, talk with your doctor. He'll refer you to a therapist so you can talk about it and get to the bottom of it.

Wishing you the best. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee

We all have emotions because that is how we first communicate with others. Feelings come before thoughts and words. Leeds comments are worth serious consideration.

I would rather feel nothing at all than emotional pain. I think we all can agree to that statement. Emotions are just one of those things in life that we cannot seem to control ourselves. Emotions do end up shaping us into the person we are today, for the good or for the bad.

I know exactly what you are saying about emotions, they can be so horrible, the hardest thing to deal with. Emotions are to blame for all mental health problems.

This is why i became obsessed with the film Equilibrium, it's got Christian Bale and Sean Bean in it. It's about a futuristic society where all feeling is banned, you are not allowed to look at art, you are not allowed to listen to music, you can only read certain books that have been vetted by the government. In order to stop people from feeling everyone has to take a drug called Prozium twice a day, it's a drug that inhibits human emotion. but of course it's impossible to completely supress all emotion so you do see the odd sign of emotion coming through. Failure to take your Prozium is a death sentence, ownership of of prohibited books or pieces of art is punishible by death.

I became fascinated by this film, by a society where no one feels or shows emotion. I watched it again and again, i started to become convinced that this was the way forward, why didn't we do this, we didn't we all have a drug to suppress our emotions. I definitely recommend you see this film if you haven't already. It really is a masterpiece, a vision of what a future could be like. I'm no longer convinced that i would want to take such a drug and live in such a society but it is a fascinating film.

I counter the effects of "Prozium" by taking 1170mg. of "Avatar" daily!

Aiuto, I know what you mean, I just found out about 5 or so months ago that I have a serious desease. As I type this I am struggling with emotions, I am trying real hard not to cry this mornning, or just go into a rage, which can and has gotten me in trouble. Sometimes I just use drugs to go numb, other times I just want to run away, I have went so far as throwing a bunch of stuff in my car and leaving. Twenty miles down the road I am crying and asking myself where the hell do I thing I am going, trying to run away from myself. To me ingnorance is bliss, I wish I never knew that I had illness. To me that is better than this rollercoaster ride. So yes Aiuto I understand where you are comeing from and emotions really do suck at times like these. I will just continue to stuff the emotions down and use drugs to keep them at bay. JUST ANOTHER CRAPPY DAY IN PARADISE! Garry

Yes I can relate I had packed my car up and drove 4hours at night to a friends house at least 5 times in the fall season for weekends.I thought it was just the impulsiveness emotion for me.But now I know was trying to run away from myself.

I have a thing called a bleeding heart. Have anyone of you been diagnosed with this? I actually had to have an EKG and other machine to find out. I think i know what causes it its a thing called LOVE. I know it sounds like a song, but it is an actual condition that more people have than we would think. Blood slowly drops like tears from your heart, so slow, it's excruciating pain. I first felt it when my ex boyfriend kissed me for about a half an hour, just making out, when he got out of the car (it happened in a car) that was the exact moment i felt my heart hurt, and it was excrutiating when he was kissing me too. I was bleeding for him because he showed me so much love and I knew in my heart I couldn't stay with him. He asked me to marry him the next day. Stupidly, I said no, as I was in an accident that left me with mental and pshysical problems. I somehow knew he would have a rough life if he was with me, it was a sacrifice I made, for him, and i now know after going through all the hospital stays, medications, doctors, health problems, one of which is degenerative disc disorder, schitzoaffective disorder and tons of other things, I could look back and say I did the right thing because I don't think anyone could live with me with all that stuff. Almost 20 years later, I can still feel it. He ended up getting married and has a 16 year old kid now. I'm happy for both of them, and their child. I ended up getting married to an old friend I grew up with, that knew everything, as I told him before i married him and he was sad, but understood.- avlady

I suffer anxiety and depression,panic attacks and fibromyalgia but I still wouldn't want to be without emotion. Reading this thread has made me realise this so thank you. When I'm having a severe panic then I would like something to kill that emotion but I realise those panics come for a reason and they are letting me know something is not right. I am starting to trust my emotions and my feelings. I have lived through abuse,post natal depression,two divorces and the deaths of my parents. But I also love my two children more than anything,I adore my three dogs and all the fun and laughter they give me. I am passionate about art and nature and the sea. If I didn't have emotions what a crappy life it would be.

For Sure!!!
