what helps numb your feelings

[wildflowers1996]

I really, really just need to "turn off" for a while.
Dr prescribed me diazepam 2mg but it does nothing. I'm guessing because it's a really low dose. Thinking about getting a higher dose off the internet..
Alcohol doesn't seem to help much.

It's not an advice but 2mg sounds like a really low dose. You could try taking several 2mg pills at once, or ask your doc again? Won't they prescribe you a higher dose?

Nothing

not healthy, so not a suggestion. Loud music and cutting, when it gets really bad, lol.

ECT does it better than anything else, but imo the ways it impacts your daily life (can't drive, can't work, short term memory goes to shit) isn't worth it

besides crying heavily, then feeling slightly less for a few days afterwards? nothing else. it's a constantly cycle.
i need something to numb the pain. tried alcohol, but it physically triggered something in my body that hasn't in a long time. it only made me feel very uncomfortable.

thought about hitting myself to redirect my mind's pain, but i don't have the energy to even smack my leg hard. need drugs, but don't know where to get them and it will cost too much most likely.

Excessive crying

Weed oil does the trick for me. Not getting stoned from it. Just one drop and its like a layer of silk between me and the pain, if that makes sense.
But depending on your country it might be illegal.

Alcohol seems to work for me but, it makes me really tired too so, I can't have it if I need to function sensibly.

 

[sserafim]

I don't feel anything anymore

 

[Hollowman]

What feelings? I'm always numb. Chemically lobotimized by psychiatry.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

You could distracting yourself and pushing away your feelings using humour. That's what I do (and have been doing since childhood), though it's probably much healthier and better long-term to just confront them. I also SH sometimes in order to achieve that, but I don't recommend it.

Music and sleeping, mostly. Sports on TV and some series if I feel focused enough.

Nothing to be honest. I think if the weather was better today I would have gone to beachy head and jumped. Life just feels monotonous, I can't pick anything up to kill time.

In the last week I've taken to taking 8 tablets of Paracetamol daily in the evening, (acetaminophen). It just makes me sleepy for the night and when I wake up the mellowness just sticks through the day.

I wouldn't recommend it though, side effects vary from person to person also, it requires going out and buying the damn things. Not really worth it I just have a lot extra on hand.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Overeating, watching episodes from shows or movies I've already seen that I like, alcohol, playing certain games, masturbating, listening to music etc.

I'm glad they still work for me most of the time.

does it really make you more sleepy than you normally would be? and how many do you take at once?

Ect ruined my life and doctors lied and said memory issues were only temporary

 

[hematomatema]

What else other than alcohol lmao
