I feel like I have no personality anymore?

Postby Unknownfate » Fri Jul 28, 2017 8:42 pm

I feel blank all the time, I don't laugh at things, nothing interests me anymore and I'm finding it really difficult to pretend to laugh and enjoy things. It's hard to make friends when your mind is just blank all the time, I find it really difficult to concentrate on things like when people talk to me it's like I've lost focus on something and staring into a blank space.. I do this watching TV too. How can I get out of this :(

I've found that acceptance is an important thing to remember. When battling my own depression, feelings of blankness included, I've accepted that sometimes actually just accepting what's going on and letting it happen is a good thing. Fighting against these feelings is exhausting. Sometimes I think we need to feel our depression. I believe that when we really feel it, allow ourselves to not feel anything, and not follow our mind telling us to be better, to change - we feel life again quicker than if we try and force ourselves out of it.

I hope you are feeling a bit better.

And remember, your personality has not gone away. It is still there even if you can't feel it. Being absorbed in feeling sad and blank means that we can't feel much of anything else.

Old thread, I know. But I know what that feelings like. Right now I'm living through the motions. Can't even put together the pieces of my personality. It's hazy. All I know is that my name is Dan and I'm exhausted.
