I’m not sure what went wrong but for the past few weeks I’ve had this awful numb feeling. It’s making my self harm urges much worse. I often wonder if I’m over medicated, if that’s the issue. Or if that’s not the case I just wish I knew where this nothing feeling is coming from.
Awww Hannah_Foxx I’m sorry you’re feeling numb. Please refrain from self harm. Maybe it’s just one of those down days. I hope you feel better soon. Please don’t hesitate to dial 911 if you feel you might really hurt yourself.

This is eating me alive, I need to feel something. I want to cry, I need to cry and I can’t.
Maybe you could try listening to some music? It seems to help me and a few others good people I’ve met here have also recommended that to me.

I was feeling numb and than after doin some excerise i got from a emotional regulation group, discovered it was actually loneliness… I couldnt express myself or understand that i was lonely because there was no base for me to feel lonely but once i went through outside reasons that might be why im numb i discovered i couldnt express emotions cause there was noone to understand…

I’ve had my headphones in since I left work at 7pm. Music is extremely helpful but for some reason it’s not helping tonight.

That’s an interesting realization, I wonder if loneliness could be part of what I’m feeling right now.
I recently was very numb and flat emotionally. I talked to my pdoc about it and she felt it could be the Latuda i’m taking because i’m on a high dose. So she reduced it from 140mg to 120mg and i feel a bit better now. I am able to feel and express things better. If this persists you should mention it to your pdoc.
Hey, Sorry you feel that wat. For me, lowering meds and being more active (socially active as well) helped a lot.

That’s brilliant! I’ve never thought of numbness as loneliness, but it makes a lot of sense. That’s way helpful! Thanks!
