I just feel numb?

Hi,

I'm going to be honest I don't know how to go about this because I don't know whats wrong.

So i havnt felt right for a while, I've always been happy and smiley and everyone came to me to feel better but lately I don't feel anything. I don't want to see anyone, or even get out of bed. most days I don't even get out of my pj's.

I've never felt so off and I'm scared, even writing this all I want to do is cry because I don't know whats going on with me.

For the last three months I've been working from home because the company i work for got kicked out of their office. I was put under emmence pressure to get work done that was never used and they are behind on not only my pay but my super and my course fees (tafe course)

I think because I'm always at home it's putting stress on all of my relationships, especially my family.

All these things are building up and getting to me, I feel like i have no one in my life which is ridiculous because I know I do!

The idea of looking for a new job terrifies me! Ive managed to get a few resumes out but it gives me anxiety just thinking about it.

Look I don't really know what I'm hoping to get from posting this, I think I just needed to get it all off my chest and maybe I'll feel better? However if anyone has any ideas on how I can shake this feeling I would be very grateful because I hate this version of me....I want to be the other me...the happy me!

Thanks

Hi Red,

Welcome to the BB Forums. I am glad that you decided to post here. Reaching out is a great first step.

I am sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. Some of the things you are describing are signs of depression and you have mentioned you feel anxious. Have you had a look on the BB site under Depression? There's a lot of good info there but also a checklist you can do that might give you an indication.

The best thing to do now is to go to your GP and have a chat about how you're feeling. I couldn't get by without the help my GP has given me.

It sounds like you're very emotional right now too. I just want to add that if you end up crying at the drs don't feel embarrassed. You're not the first. I cried for about 10mins before I could talk in my first visit.

Keep posting and let me know how you're going. You are not alone in how you feel.

Kind thoughts,

Carol
