What is this numbing sensation in my head? Does anyone else gets this?

I'm working on putting love into me and giving it out to the world through my feelings and thinking. It's more a spiritual thing.

So I have this numbing sensation. I'm not completely sad...though still sad and I'm not happy, but am okay. What is this feeling? Is it part if the depression?

I really don't go out of the house. I'm getting fatter. I'm still not doing much with my life. I've been reading a lot. I'm trying to live day by day.

I am not sure what you actually mean by numbing sensation in your head but numb is the way I always describe my depression. It is a lack of emotion for me. never sad but just numb.

I really love your idea of putting love into you and out into the world. Powerful stuff. Have you tried meditation like in the buddhist form and then with practice trying the love thing and visualizations?

I found that after practicing meditation for a long time there are all kinds of bizarre things that happen and that I am able to direct my energy and love. And that I can create happy tingly feelings in my head and all kinds of stuff. It hasn't cured my depression but it has helped me in life and to better cope with the depression.

I totally get this feeling of a sad kind of apathy. I defiantly think it is part of my depression. Usually when it's been going on for so long I think it happens to stop the terrible feelings, almost maybe like the brains way of helping. Hugs
