First of all, yeah that's a strange thing to want but it's the not way I can genuinely live at this point. My emotions are internally driving me mad and I have no other choice but to try to numb all emotions as much as possible. I'm trying to make myself numb to extreme emotions like shock or fear and then just work at getting rid of them all together. Does anyone have any advice? I genuinely need to do this and any advice will help! Thank you

One of the most common effects of antidepressants is apathy. It's like things affect you less, I feel that way using my antidepressant, but don't think it helps much, your thoughts and difficulties stay with you. This effect of the most common antidepressants even has a name: emotional blunting

I don't recommend watching gore, though over time it made me feel more numb. This could make u feel worse.

there's a dangerous line on that, you can end up suppressing your emotions, and that never ends good

We all need some SOMA sometimes to help numb ourselves just enough to get through this shit. whatever helps you and does not make you "drunk" or intoxicated, but helps ease your suffering, so you can be the person you need to be.

As someone who has suppressed their emptions, it's not worth it. It is better to feel pain than nothing at all. I am suicidal because I can't feel. This is hell.
