Not sure where to put this because I'm not particularly depressed I just feel empty and dead. I keep making bad decisions and I don't know who I am. I don't like this person. I keep trying to escape something and I don't know what it is. I don't feel like myself.. I want to be someone else. Damn I don't know what I feel or think. I just don't like it. I don't know where this all came from all of a sudden but I've been feeling this way the past two days. I was really happy for awhile, I guess it's my mood swings.

Maybe it is a transition into starting to understand who you are? First you need awareness that you need to start this journey. Maybe this is where you are?

Sometimes I feel numb if I am trying not to deal with something right away, and then it hits me at like 3:00 in the morning really hard, and my emotions are like a bomb. My therapist says feeling numb is a protective mechanism not to feel pain or hurt about something - but it will come, sooner or later. I wish you luck, my friend.
