That's a tough one. I'm not sure if this would work for you, but I usually listen to really depressing music for an hour or two. Then I go on a chat site and chat for a bit. If that doesn't work, I force myself to go out with a friend who is cool with me being super depressing and I vent to them while we go shopping or walk around or just sit in a car. That's what I do anyway. Hopefully it works for you.

That awful. When I'm low I find that I need to surround myself with happy, kind, and funny people. It is therapeutic to be around them and the happiness is contagious. Also you might want to consider taking a day off to relax. Meditation is also nice to become in touch with the mind and body and relax.

Don't try to "numb the pain." Whatever you're dealing with is frustrating and difficult, but trust me when I say that it is so much better for you in the long run to acknowledge that pain as part of your life. Realize that, yes it hurts, but it is shaping the kind of person you will grow into, and if you try to ignore it or numb it, you won't be able to grow, and it won't make the problem go away.Treat yourself well, compliment yourself on the basic things like, "I did okay on this test," or "I picked a good outfit for today." Don't force yourself to go out if you don't want to unless you feel like it would help. Try dancing for an hour, try drawing, try poetry, whatever gets your feelings and thoughts out onto some kind of medium for you to examine and sort through.More than anything though, recognize that pain is part of being alive, and it means that you have this beautiful thing called a heartbeat.

smoke weed. just do it responsibly. it can awaken your senses in a better and more logical way of thinking if you do it in the right way.

Not sleeping, not eating, not talking are symptoms but also causes for feeling low. So gather yourself and break the cycle. Has there been other times when you felt like this and then it got better? what happened then? see what works for you right now. The pain you're feeling might seem real but it's not, it's just created by the sad thoughts that you keep having. those thoughts are not true, they are just thoughts..ideas or interpretations of reality. Choose one or two of those painful thoughts and write it down. Then write proofs(100% real facts that actually happened or exist) that confirm that thought. Then write as many proofs that deny the thought you wrote down or might show that your thought is not always true. this might help ease the pain. And remember, the sun is always shining behind these passing dark clouds :)

I agree with others that said the answer is to find a healthy way to release the pain as I think when you suppress it, it will find a way to bite you later if you never deal with it. I hope you find someone to talk to about it who can help.

"That's thing about pain, it demands to be felt." -John GreenThe best numbing solution is to let it out. If you don't know what it is, just do the things that made you happy before. It could be nothing, or it could be the other feelings that you suppressed, before, coming back.
