How do I stop feeling numb?
I have been struggling a lot this year. It felt like I was going through a constant battle where it was one thing after another. I wanted to really connect with my faith this year but I have been so numb I haven’t had it in me to pray at all. I feel so disconnected with everything. The problem is I shouldn’t feel this way. I got through everything life threw at me without falling into a dark hole. I tried to stay positive through everything. The past few weeks have been really good. I got a job and I am doing well in school. Nothing bad is happening so why do I feel so disconnected and numb? I don’t want to feel this way and nothing I do is helping me feel better.
@Icouldbebetter8923 nothing bad does not really mean all is well. you feel numb because you feel you are not you. to better explain it, you have not been doing things that define you in your head. lets have an example of an artist, if they do not make art and continuously do things that doesnt exactly fall into their criteria of work. mind you i do not mean doing work is bad. what i mean is, to stay sane and be human(not robot) one must do things that define themselves in thier mind.
@empathize oh this is such a good insight. Thanks for sharing.
@Icloudbebetter8923 I don't want to sound preachy and I'm only saying this because it worked for me I.e to pray. Even if you don't feel like, pray with a half motivation, it kind of propels you in a higher direction, gets you moving, stirs something within your heart, taking you out of your own self to the worship of divine where there is solace for all numbness, a trust that things are headed in a right way.
