Does anyone else with depression feel that they start feeling numb? Is that normal?

I would welcome the numbness. It would be nice to not feel angry and frustrated all the time

[MessyD]

Yes. Not sure why

Yes, depression can do that. Are you on antidepressants? I have found that some antidepressants can put me in one "place" and leave me there. Pristiq took care of the depression for me for several years but I was in one place pretty much, if you know what I mean.

But yes, it's pretty common to be numbed out when you are depressed.

I've been short on meds for a few days now. I'll be refilling them soon but sometimes I procrastinate. I have noticed I am more sensisitive and anxious and easily upset but I also feel things with more clarity and intensity. Meds numb emotions out but they keep me healthy. I've been on them for about 2 years now and my opinion constantly changes.
