I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. Emotional numbness, persistent sadness, and exhaustion can be signs of depression, and the fact that suicidal thoughts are crossing your mind is a serious concern. You’re not alone in this, and you deserve support.
Please consider reaching out to a therapist or you can book an appointment with me
Health Tips
In the meantime, try to be kind to yourself. Instead of forcing emotions, focus on small actions—listening to music, writing down your thoughts, or even just sitting in the sun for a bit. These feelings don’t define you, and they will pass, even if they feel overwhelming right now.
If the suicidal thoughts become stronger, please don’t hesitate to reach out for immediate help. You matter, and you don’t have to go through this alone.

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
I hear that you’re feeling emotionally drained, disconnected, and struggling with guilt. Try small daily activities that once brought joy, even if they feel meaningless right now, break tasks into tiny steps and Prioritize sleep, nutrition, and movement—even a few minutes of stretching can help. Maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, going for walks, prioritize adequate sleep, engage in social activities and hobbies.
If you’re experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please don’t face them alone. Talk to someone you trust. Seek immediate professional help if these thoughts persist. Try journaling, expressive art and practice energizing breathing techniques like bhastrika pranayam, kapalbhati pranayam.
Next Steps
If these symtoms still persist, you can book an appointment with Rupali Mohbe/BIRDY ME at Practo
Health Tips
Daily do bhastrika pranayam and Kapal bhati, help in energizing your body.

Hi,
I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. Itâs concerning that youâre experiencing numbness and sadness, especially if these feelings are persistent and impacting your daily life and relationships. It's important to recognize that these emotions can be signs of deeper issues such as depression or anxiety, and acknowledging them is a crucial step toward healing.
Feeling detached from loved ones and having thoughts of self-harm can be extremely distressing, and it's vital to seek support. Talking to someone you trust, whether itâs a friend, family member, or mental health professional, can provide relief and help you understand what youâre going through. It's okay to reach out for help; it doesnât mean youâre weak, but rather that youâre taking proactive steps toward feeling better.
In the meantime, try to engage in small self-care activities, even if they feel challenging. Simple things like a short walk, listening to music, or journaling about your feelings can help. Remember, you donât need to go through this alone, and there are resources available to support you. If you ever feel overwhelmed or have thoughts of harming yourself, please reach out to a mental health professional or a crisis hotline immediately. Your well-being is important, and there is help available to guide you through this difficult time.

Hi... The numbness, guilt, and suicidal ideations- suggest a repressed issue primarily rooted in trauma or abuse of some kind. Sometimes repressed sexuality/orientation may also reflects in this form. All this might be triggered by your immediate environment (career, family, partner, etc.) but it is not caused by it. You need to address these underlying issues to address your presenting symptoms. A combination of psychotherapy and medications work best in this case. Please do not hesitate to seek professional help. Do involve your parents or adult siblings in your treatment process for medicolegal reasons and support.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist for Psychotherapy.
CBT along with Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling using Psychoanalytic Approach is required.
Consult a Psychiatrist for Medical Diagnosis and Medications, if required.
Involve your parents or adult siblings in your treatment process.

This helps shift your focus from distressing thoughts to the present moment:
1. 5 things you can see – Look around you and name five things you see. It could be a piece of furniture, a color, or even your own hands.
2. 4 things you can touch – Notice the feeling of your clothes, the floor beneath your feet, or the texture of an object nearby.
3. 3 things you can hear – Focus on sounds like a fan, traffic, or your breathing.
4. 2 things you can smell – If nothing is obvious, try noticing the air or your own skin.

You need to take assistance to diagnose, and to understand what is going on, without any delay. Any issues if dealt at an early stage would recover with short duration.
