Things are numb.
What do you guys do when you just get numb? I am going through a depression episode with a lot of sleeping. Like, everything seems bad to me. I don't have any motivation to do anything anymore and things that used to be easy or great demands a lot of energy. And I am always sleepy. Yesterday, I slept for ten hours during the night and slept around three hours in the afternoon. Yet, this night I've slept for six hours and still feel extremely tired and sleepy. I've gained weight, something around 6lbs and for me, a recovered anorexic, this hurts a lot. But I know it's just a phase. I just...want to find joy and happiness in life again, I am trying to be around people all the time, this helps me to not think to much. I am trying to meet my friends around 3 times at week, always trying to see my girlfriend even if it's just for ten minutes... I just want to be happy again, and not feel this pain in the root of my soul. My chest hurts, I am heavy and sometimes I feel so heavy that I just can't get out of the bed.

Hi Cat,
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling this way and I want you to know that you are not alone at all. Many people feel this way, especially when it gets colder out. Have you considered talking to your doctor about how you've been feeling or seeing a therapist? They might be able to help! Other things like walking, eating well and trying to get on a good sleep schedule might be helpful too. There are also these LED lamps that help with seasonal depression if that's something you think you could benefit from! I hope this helps and remember that we are always here for you! ❤️
