Is this because of my depression? BEST ANSWER!?
A month ago I was shocked to find some lump in me and I freaked out over nothing because I thought it was serious when it was very common. Since that incident, I haven't been feeling the same.. I was just so caught off guard and the shock was very uncalled for.
Like I said, I haven't been feeling the same. I was diagnosed as bipolar 2 when I went to the psychiatrist but she wasn't sure so lol...I didn't go back to her anymore but my depression symptoms were more dominant. It's gotten better now with the help of my Emotional Freedom Technique therapist but it still bothers me. It's like I'm half better because I'm not totally numb anymore unlike before when I would wallow in my numbness.. this time around, the depression is lifting a bit but it's not like I'm hopeless anymore.. at least I can feel some emotions.. but very faint.
My main problem is my boyfriend.. since that incident things haven't been feeling the same with us. It's as if I'm so disconnected with him and even my sister who I love so much. Not just with people, with the world as well... I feel as if I'm not ME anymore and I've become someone I'm not. I my interests and ambitions don't excite me anymore and I just felt empty and numb for a long period of time... This was after that incident.
So.. I was wondering if depression really does that to you. I thought I was falling out of love with my boyfriend and freaked out about that too because I know deep in my heart and soul that I love him with all that is me...I would be lying if I said I didn't love him but why can't I feel it? It's like my mind is so sure that I love him so much but my body and my feelings won't cooperate. And to think, I was the jealous, crazy obsessed girlfriend.. How could things suddenly turn 180 degrees on me just like that?
How could I suddenly not feel anything towards him? Or like.. how could I suddenly feel so distant and disconnected from him and my other loved ones like my family and friends? Does depression really cause this? Is my depression turning me into someone I'm not? Are my feelings lying to me about how I feel about these people?
I just really want to know. I haven't been able to be at ease because I've been worrying every waking moment that I might have fallen out of love with the most special man in my life. I love him so much but I just feel so disconnected and numb to him and the other special persons in my life. I also get so anxious about not feeling connected to my surroundings because I always feel like I'm in a dream... everything is so foggy and blurry to me all of a sudden after that incident.
Will this eventually go away? Will I become my normal, passionate, loving and driven self again after this passes? Will I be able to love like I used to?
I really want to know.. and maybe if you could share your experiences, please do so... I really just want to be who I was before this incident happened and I want to know if that's possible. I want to be me again!
Please help :'(

Also, how powerful are signs? Because I've beed read by a tarot reader who says that I will overcome this and my boyfriend and I will still be together in the future and we'll be happy. Also, for fun.. my boyfriend lost his 200 bucks (he thought he dropped it somewhere) and he said if he finds it within the day.. I'll get better. And in the most unexpected circumstance, he found it. I also dreamt that I could feel again... How meaningful are these signs?
