Hi all I'm 34 and I've had despression and psychosis for the last year or so and although I am better than I was a year ago I'm still really struggling. I've spent two months in a psychiatric unit and am now in the care of an early intervention team. There are really great and offer lots of help. I've been suicidal for a good while and my care worker has to supervise my meds in case I down then all. I feel very numb and emotionless but I do get very down especially of an evening. It's like nothing penetrates. Food is tasteless and I feel no enjoyment from anything and look forward to nothing. There is no joy in anything. I'm now on my third antidepressant which is venlafaxine and waiting for it to kick in. Most nights I pray that I won't wake up in the morning. Don't know why I'm telling you all this just needed to write something. Does anyone else feel this way? Thank you for reading this!

How are you feeling now? You have had some really positive replies and it sounds like you are a fighter and have the right attitude. What are some of the things that you did used to enjoy? I'm a big reader and at my lowest I stopped reading altogether. I have re-discovered my love of a good book now :-)
Also my therapist taught me some really effective self-soothing techniques which helped me to savour food again, enjoy music and immerse myself in experiencing the moment in whatever I did. Good luck my friend. Keep in touch :-)
