I know a woman who seems extremely depressed most of the time. I have always felt so fortunate that I don't suffer from numbness OR depression. Feeling our emotions, naming them and dealing with them is the best way to feeling happy and peaceful. If you tuck them under a rug they become Mount Vesuvius and therefore problematic. Getting professional help for troubling emotions is the proper way to handle them. If you feel angry or wronged ( I guess you did jujubee) Intentionally lashing out at others and creating stupid mind games is NOT the proper way of handling your emotions. Seek therapy if you have any residual issues over people who created turbulence in your life. Take your anti-depressants if necessary. Again, I am genetically lucky that I am inherently happy.
If all else fails, try and do nice things for others. Some times that helps!
