I know the feeling of numbness a bit too well. I’ve suffered with depression multiple times during my life and with various reasons as a starting point. Like you, I ventured out to seek things I love doing. Like dancing, walking in nature, working in my garden, yoga, writing, creating… every next time I found something new to add to that bucket of things to pull myself out of it.
Last year it came under unknown for me form of anxiety and that was a new one to deal with. Needed new approaches too and over half year later I can say I found some ways to quiet the anxiety ball in my stomach, only to end up in the patch on numbness again. It’s a long, conscious and daily work to a full recovery for me this time and some days I just don’t have energy for it. But I try and try again ☺️💙
