Numb
I do t know if this is the place to post. Lately I have become numb to the world. I have no feelings or cares about anyone or anything around me. The only acception is my son. I care about him and what happens to him. I feel like I do t have any true friends because I don't care about anyone else. I see the verdict in the news and I had no emotional response to it. I don't know if I need help mentally and emotionally. I feel absolutely nothing. I know I am not allowed to ask advice on here as I was yelled at for doi g so before. So I am just going to leave it here for y'all to read and comment if you want to.
Dear Dude, I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles. I too have felt numb after traumatic experience. I have been in therapy and have learned it's a way for the mind to protect itself. It makes sense to me now but it's such a strange sensation, for me I felt like I was separate from my body almost floating . I knew I needed help so I reached out to professional help. Just sharing in hopes my experience might help in some small way. Best regards ABB
I have felt this way for a few years now. 2 or 3 years. I did try a therapist, it wasn't helping me at all. I really appreciate your replying.
Dude, Your welcome, I forgot to say I'm also on meds. it wasn't a choice I wanted but necessary to save my life. I have kids who need me and I wanted them to have a better mom than what I had. My sister had to be more of a mom to me under bad circumstances and I wanted better for them. I found it's not weak to ask for help, trust me I never ask for anything ever but I did ask for my kids sake. ABB💜
I am on so many meds it fills a giant ziplock bag (bigger than a gallon) several antidepressants and others for my health issues.
@TheDude0156- I just googled feeling numb. Once again after therapy and medication - guess what it suggests. Healthy diet and exercise. So to remind myself too- yep those things count. Hope you are eating well, getting some exercise and having enough sleep at night. Congratulations of doing the best for your son. May you notice something of pleasure today- and if not today- maybe tomorrow. Take care.
