Thank you for sharing! I hope all of the good things you’re doing for yourself start to make you feel a bit better soon. I’ve been fighting off a depressive episode myself for a couple weeks - I can feel myself being irritable with my boyfriend and not being able to connect emotionally in the same way. For me, it feels like an inch of bulletproof glass between me and my own feelings. I can see them, but not touch. I’m trying to make sure I feed myself, as food becomes hard during these times.
I hope we both feel better soon! Thanks for sharing! 💜
Allison, this post came into my inbox at the perfect time. I'm in the thick of a depressive episode, and really struggling with emotional blunting. I know I should be enjoying myself on vacation, but I don't care about anything! Reading you reassure yourself that it won't last forever, has reassured me too. I'm going to be proactive for future me, she deserves it. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you get back to yourself soon❤️ xx
Gosh I have actually been in a really similar place lately and I think because I have had much worse depressing episodes I haven't really been doing anything about it but I probably should!
Wow. This is exactly me 3 weeks of taking my Zoloft the right way. I missed Way too many doses and threw me into an episode. But I describe it as seeing glimpses of me too! Like all day today has been good mostly normal me day and then boom here is the dread and it is like this every time until one day the dread doesn’t come back.

Hi Christy, thank you so much for your message! We will get through this. The great thing about feeling is that they're always temporary 💕

Such a good point! It feels like "could be worse" but that doesn't mean it's not bad! xoxo A
