Feel like death

[CrazyLady17]

Since I became depressed I have felt like complete death... I have felt like my whole world has fallen apart and feel like my body has gone to shut down mode and that I am dead and that I am a ghost and I already dead.

Is this even possible?
Am I already dead?

You are NOT dead...but depression makes us feel like we are just merely existing.....it IS an hour-by-hour struggle!

But WE can get thru this!!!

Thank you for the words of wisdom there

I am dead though? Half of the time I feel completely dead?

[CrazyLady17]

I'm a ghost wow!
I am so invisble to people and I am dead... Wait! What!!
When did this happen? Am I really dead?

Sounds a little like some of my experiences with
experimental substances in the 70's.

So now that your staying at the shelter at night,

and I hope your still helping during the day,

how many hours are you spending at the shelter per day?

And, are there any councilors on staff at the shelter?

[CrazyLady17]

Hmm.... How was that for you? If I may ask.

I feel like I'm already dead, and I have come back as a ghost!

[CrazyLady17]

I am indeed, and yes I am still helping sometimes during the day still don't worry! But am taking it easy because of my miscarriage and because I still feel so depressed and suicidal
Erm around 7-8hours per day now. Pft! Exhausting

Yes there are counsellors here.

I feel like a ghost, I feel like I'm already dead and I've come back I haunt you all...
I feel like I am dead, but still breathing? This isn't normal... Right? No of course it isn't. I feel like I'm going crazy, I don't belong on this planet.

Feel at deaths door, I don't feel alive anymore. Can this be real?

[windsong]

This can be a common feeling with depression. The thing to do is, find something that makes you feel alive. Look forward to it. Find a movie that makes you laugh and keep it close by for the times you feel like this.

Maybe smell some roses, or any type of flower.

Find something that you can taste, touch, something to give you sensory, so that when you feel this way you can reassure yourself that you are still here.

You're not a ghost and you aren't haunting us.

You can try the things I listed or when you see a therapist again, you can have how you are feeling wrote down, and ask them for recommendation.

I can say that this is a feeling I know very well, but it was one I was able to come back from. I can't go into how here, as it would get into religion and I can't sound preachy, so I'll just leave it at, I know that this feeling can get better.

Thank you
I will try the suggestions you've listed here, is difficult when I'm so trapped in this section unit and feel like I'm stuck in such a black hole?
But will try them, thank you again

I feel like I'm a ghost though? I dont feel alive at all? I actually look and feel dead?
