Feeling numb
I'm 16 and I used to get bullied during my childhood. I used to get really hurt by that but one day I just started feeling numb and I still feel that, a few years after. Most of the time i can tolerate it well because i can still feel emotions,just less. But a few months ago i started to get a wave that lasts few days, where I feel numb and empty inside, like I have no emotions and no matter what i do,it doesn't help. Only crying can help sometimes. I also feel like i'm craving love from others and i know that the right person will come at the right time but sometimes i just wish that i felt loved now. I am always there to comfort my friends but when I need them they don't really know what to say to comfort me and that sucks. Do you have any tips for dealing with that wave of numbness?

Hey Person,
I understand being bullied during your childhood and I know it's an awful experience. I understand feeling numb from all the hurt and pain that was cause during your childhood years. I understand being able to tolerate on some days and some days you feel more numb. I understand you're struggling with feeling numb for long periods of times. I understand wanting love from someone else like a significant other. I understand you wanting to be loved now in this moment in time. I understand always feeling like you have to comfort everyone else but when you need to talk or help they don't either want to listen to you or don't know how to respond. Unfortunately I don't have any tips with dealing with numbness as it's a current struggle for me right now. Some days I feel numb other I don't. I hope this message helps you feel less alone in your struggles. I'm sure many of us listeners and members can relate on 7 cups. Please know that your emotions and feelings are valid here. I hope this message finds you in a better place soon as well as safe and healthy!💜
