Feeling numb

[Trustyourinnersatnav]

I've been very low recently. I'm prone to depression and anxiety. Circumstance has triggered this episode of depression. Last week I was looking at ways of committing suicide. Now I feel weirdly numb and calm, with bouts of dread. I'm concerned for myself feeling this way. I've got four children and need to keep my head above water. Feeling like this is unusual to me like the calm before the storm. I don't know what to do.

Have you spoken to anyone like your GP or a counsellor about how you're feeling? Dont just try to tread water. Ask for help.

My gp put me on citallopram 6 weeks ago. It has helped most of the time but my lows have been bad.perhaps the medication is causing the numbness. it has unnerved me, feeling like this. I will book another appointment

I've been feeling the same. I have post natal depression and anxiety and been on sertraline and feeling numb too. It's horrible isn't it. Here if you ever want to talk
