Venting i want to be emotionally numb

[bunnyloop]

as someone with bpd my emotions are so intense it ruins every aspect of my life. idk if i want to go on antidepressants again idt they do much for me and i'd rather not deal with those sexual side effects when i'm already depressed. i've heard wellbutrin is a good choice but it's not smth i can get for depression in the uk. i once took the last 10 of my escitalopram because they weren't working so i wanted to force them to work and it made me so emotionally numb and when i tell you it was the best feeling ever. feeling nothing was an amazing feeling. during this time i was going through such a hard time in my life with my old fp so i wanted to do anyrhing to numb the pain. i was literally unable to cry that day after i did this. i can't remember how long the numbness lasted maybe a few days but it felt so good not being controlled by my emotions. i want to get that feeling back without having to do that again. i don't think taking only 10 causes serotonin syndrome i can't really remember if i had any of the symptoms i didn't really care enough about anything to check. there are some days when something bad happens to me and i'm surprised i'm not crying and i don't care and i just wish i could feel like that all the time. it can get boring after a while tho. i like crying as a stress reliever but having breakdowns is horrible. and i always cry after watching smth sad so if i don't then it just makes me think the show or movie i watched wasn't good enough if it didn't make me cry. i just wanna feel apathetic to heartbreak and people not liking me. i wish i had a strong sense of self so i just didn't care what others thought of me

I feel the same. Ativan numbs me so good. It's the perfect feeling of nothing and not caring about anything. But no one will prescribe it to me because it's a controlled substance, and I only have 7 left.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain having to deal with these terrible emotions. I wish you comfort.

i wish i could get access to benzos so bad. the only way i possibly could is to find a dealer that sells them but that would probably be dangerous

I don't know where you're located, but here emergency rooms hand out benzos like candy. I just told them I was having a panic attack and had suicidal thoughts, but no plan. That way they didn't involuntarily hold me, but it was urgent enough that they gave me the ativan. I don't know how many times I can go back though without them getting suspicious of me of drug seeking behavior.

It gets way beyond boring. I've been almost completely emotionally numb for around seven years. Just dead inside. Hopefully you'll be able to figure something out.

i'm in the uk and don't know how to get prescribed them. i once spoke to my old gp about it and she refused to even refer me to a psychiatrist
