numb
i can recognize that the way i feel is not a postive emotion. it feels like im just internally stuck and just "there". i have bad thoughts that i can tell are starting to build but the second i conciously start trying to thing and process them my brain is like NO and shuts off all emotion and its the most frusturating thing i feel sort of detatched from my brain whenever i start to try and think about this stuff

You aren't alone in feeling this way, I'm glad you reached out to us here on 7C. When we're processing intense emotion, sometimes our brain's natural defense is to just say "yeah, this is too much~ don't worry, self, I'll protect you" and then suddenly, we are overcome with numbness. It can feel suffocating and thick. With depression, it isn't uncommon that people talk and move slower, and we struggle with memory issues.
Thank you for being honest with us today. Building our support system is crucial to achieving our mental health goals-- I hope you're able to meet listeners you can trust and connect with.
How long have you been coping with depression?
