Is it better to feel nothing or too much

[trying ungracefully]

I feel too much and it causes a lot of suicidal thoughts. I also felt nothing a lot through out my life before the right medication but I don't remember if it felt better than this.i voted nothing though

Personally I would probably say nothing because when it's nothing I at least function and when it's too much I start SH myself.

There's no match, there is some peace of mind when you feel absolutely nothing.

The temptation is to think whatever you aren't currently going through is better.

Right now I'm more on the feeling "nothing side," so I almost said it's better to feel too much.

But if I'm being honest, that's not true. Feeling nothing is a struggle on its own but it's way better than experiencing the worst there is.

nothing but it might not even matter when both options bring the same result.

After feeling too much, feeling nothing is a relief.... for a while, but it comes with some crushing hollowness.

nothing. thats what a lot of drugs are designed to do.

In my case I'd rather feel nothing. Feeling nothing is awful too but I feel that it's easy to deal with. When I feel too much, doing the most basic things can feel super overwhelming.

At least when I felt too much I felt like I had reasons to live. Feeling nothing made me give up. Ive lost everything. Both suck.

nothing for me becuause i think if i feel too much i will get effected easily by very little and minor things

I feel like me starting Wellbutrin made my emotions worse. I've been terrible since I started and my anxiety is causing so many feelings. I want to just straight up ask my psychiatrist to numb me with the prescriptions lol.

True. I want to die but not really when I'm feeling too much because I want to stay and make memories.

As someone who largely feels nothing I would argue feeling too much is better. I feel a constant numbness that makes me question what the point of life is, I'm so bored of life most of the time that I think about suicide as a release from the nothingness.

Personally I'd rather feel something than nothing. Even when that something has the potential to hurt like hell, I think it's better than feeling like a robot. When I felt nothing for months on end I would end up self harming in order to feel something, anything. It made me desperate, even more so when the self harming didn't even help much. Too much makes me feel like I'm a dumb baby and that I'm not built to be around people, but I would really rather that than emotionally paused.
