@Former-Member @Former-Member yes, I have had periods of complete numbness, where you feel nothing at all. It happens with depression. Then you can swing crazily into an anxious state, overthinking and feeling everything.

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Former-Member @Former-Member and to add to my diagnosises, I also have BPD.. So I'm hypersensitive to every slight hurt, have attachment issues, have chronic SI because of the hypersensitivity, and I swing from one emotion to another in seconds, plus I struggle in interpersonal relationships. In a nutshell I'm a basket case!

thanks @Former-Member Sometimes I don't even feel like myself, like I am watching this person but it is not actually me. It is so hard to describe. I switch from hot to cold at a blink of an eye. Maybe it's just the meds or the depression. Don't know what is happening.

@Sans911you are not a basket case, you just have a lot to deal with. That is why we are here to help. Forum relationships are so much easier than real life relationships!!

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Former-Member I actually wrote that so I could laugh at myself. Because some days I'm up in the morning and down before lunch comes around! Today was the first day I spoke to my foster sister since I'd been in hospital. She could not understand why I suddenly hit rock bottom (again!) when I been ok for a couple of weeks. I told her all it took was a couple of slight things, and boom, there I was again. Feeling worthless, not caring about myself. I feel so bad, because today she said she dreads getting a phone call to say I'm no longer around. She's never said that before.

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Former-Member,I can remember at times especially when I had some kind of trauma or feeling "lost.At times it's like I have left my body.Maybe it's time you laid down @Former-Member.
@Sans911@,I'm hypersensitive as well you know that is why I avoid people due to the potential triggers for depression or anxiety.I know it's from my weight being used to hurt me in my life,and from my strong feelings of being a failure and the stigma of having a breakdown. My only interpersonal relationship is with two cats,I feel I can't trust anyone.You aren't a "basket case",we are all "basket cases", because we are share more sensitivity than others.I wish I was stronger to survive too @Sans911.
