I feel nothing

[KatieMayGx]

I'm 21, I'm feeling emotionally numb, I feel nothing, sex I feel nothing. regards to friends I have, I don't care about seeing them. no motivation to do anything, Talking to people is an inconvenience, never had a proper relationship or kids so don't know what real love feels like. food doesn't taste as good as it used to, I envy when people are in relationships and happy on the TV wish I could feel like that. It's like my life was in colour now it's black and white. I want to feel, it's like my feelings are trapped deep inside me and I can't get them out, Is this depression?

What doesn't help my situation is that I don't have a motherley influence in my life to confide in.

I'm not a mental health professional but yes, this sounds like depression. Go to your GP. Get a referral for counseling.

It does sound like depression, can you try and get an appointment with your GP?

I can get an appointment with a GP, hate the thought of having to take anti depressants they just hand them out like sweets.

In my experience anti-depressants helped me with the immediate issues I had ( mainly anxiety) but I was also offered CBT. Please go and at least have a chat with your GP, l

I would much prefer CBT than anti depressants personally, my family doesn't have a good history with them.

It's good that you have a clear idea of how you want to deal with this. That in itself is positive. You might have to go on a waiting list but you need to put the wheels in motion. You deserve to be happy you really do
