The "Depression Numbness" Journal

Does Your Depression Ever Make You Feel Numb?

In early 2022, The Depression Project posed this question to our 2,000,000+ Instagram followers in one of our “stories”. Over 17,000 people responded, and would you like to know how many of them answered yes?

97%.

Consequently, because “depression numbness” is so, so common, we created this journal, in order to:

  • Help you feel like you’re not alone;
  • Help you better understand “depression numbness” – including the reasons why you may be experiencing it in the first place;
  • Help you break out of “depression numbness” - so that you can get back to experiencing joy and pleasure from the things that you usually like doing, be able to think clearer and function more effectively, and be in a better position to take the necessary steps to treat your depression.

Here’s A Breakdown Of Exactly What This Journal Will Cover

PART 1: Understanding "Depression Numbness"

In the first part of this journal, we’ll share with you a variety of quotes from members of The Depression Project’s community that describe what “depression numbness” is like - in order to help you feel like you’re not alone.

Additionally, we’ll also explain in detail the reasons why depression can make people feel numb. This is something we believe is extremely important, because:

  • “Why does depression make me feel numb?” is a question we’re often asked by members of our community;
  • Understanding the reasons why depression can make you feel numb is a necessary first step towards breaking out of numbness.

Furthermore, to accompany this section of the journal, we’ll also share with you a handful of guided journal prompts for you to think about and write out your response to - in order to help you reflect on and better understand your own experience of “depression numbness”, and the different factors that may be contributing to it.

PART 2: Breaking Out Of "Depression Numbness"

In the second part of this journal, we’re going to share with you a wide variety of tried, tested strategies to help you break out of “depression numbness”. In particular, these strategies will include:

  • Strategies shared with us by members of The Depression Project’s community that they use to break out of “depression numbness”;
  • Additional strategies to break out of “depression numbness” that are grounded in polyvagal theory and cognitive behavioural therapy (whether “traditional” CBT, or one of its specialised forms such as dialectical behavioural therapy, for example).

Additionally, we'll also share a variety of journal prompts for you to write out your response to - each of which are designed to help you implement the strategies that we'll share with you as effectively as possible.
