Why when I'm depressed do I always seem to feel the cold more? Does anyone else get this?
Also, I get these numb sensations around the back of my neck and around my rib cage? Does anyone else get this also or is it just me?
Just wondering.
Denise

Do you eat less. If you eat less you will feel colder.

Could you have blood sugar problems? Or thyroid issues?
Those two can lead to depression and changes in body temp.

it is common to get cold when you are depressed because when you are depressed (or at least me), we dont tend to move as much (i.e. laying in bed) and the blood doesnt flow as it usually does.
numb on back of neck? that is major pressure point for stress.
rib cage? dont know about that, but when someone gets really anxious, the anxiety can manifest itself in just about any body sensation.
however, if this continues over a loooong period of time, ask a doc. hope u feel betta

Can it also make you feel numb and not feel anything and not care? That's how I feel and I'm getting desperate. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi,
Well thanks for the response, I've had my thyroid checked though and it's ok 2.54 I think.
Even if I do move around a lot I still have this inner cold feeling.
I guess it is the depression though because I only feel the cold more when I'm depressed.
