emotionalnumbness

I'm almost 2 weeks in this state of emotional numbness . I don't care about anything ,things that make me happy before are not joyful and just an automatic task . I love music ,but now , I'm often annoyed and change the songs very often. I can still feel anger and even have tears or feel sad , but if something should make me happy .. I feel just nothing , but a hurt heart ,it's like with every emotion I feel a hurting ball were my heart is . Even worse today I saw something that make me normally very happy . I had the physical reaction ,but felt my heart squeezed very painfully and tears came into my eyes .

I want to feel love for life again . It's actually not new for me to walk like a zombie through life . With no feelings except pain ,anger and sadness, being empty inside. Faking smiles until it weighes you down . I had this for 18 years going ,no break . I came out of this . I really could enjoy things ,words had a positive feeling for me and I even felt a light within me when I sang songs . I had deep connections . It was getting better with my mental health . I want to get rid of this numbness . My whole mindset is like it's upside down . From trying to be positive and doing the best I can everyday to rock bottom hopelessness. It's like a spiral of negativity .
I'm still trying to do the things that got me out in the past . Like self-care , being good to yourself . I just always have problems with motivation due my conditions and now it's worse . Most of the time I don't want to move not even to the bathroom . I desperately want to feel something positive and joyful . #MentalHealth #emotionalnumbness #Depression #ChronicHeadaches #Fatigue

Do any of you experience emotional numbness, and have you found anything to help it not be so bad or last as long? #MentalHealth #emotionalnumbness #Anxiety

For awhile, about 97% of the time Im emotionally numb. My psychiatrist knows and we decreased my Pristiq to 50mg . I am also on 300mg of Wellbutrin and 30mg of Adderall. My psychiatrist hasn’t been very helpful since things have gotten bad and we are in the The process of looking for a new one. My psychologist is very concerned. I meet with her twice a week and we go over the passive self harm/ suicidal thoughts I’ve had . My PTSD has been acting up a lot lately and I’m just not sure if the numbness is a coping mechanism for that or if it’s medication related, Borderline Personality Disorder related , or depression related. I also have Hydrocephalus but I don’t think that’s a factor. The emotional numbness has put me more at risk of following through with the self harm thoughts ( which has happened). Any ideas, guidance, or firsthand experience would be much appreciated.

For the past few weeks, my girlfriend has been acting different. She started acting the same way she did before her and I had ended a previous attempt at dating, and in realizing that, it worried me. A few nights ago, I confronted her about it. She explained to me that she didn't know what was going on. That all she knew is that she felt numb. That she couldnt really connect emotions to anything. In hearing that, I researched and found it was actually a thing. But it's difficult and strange. I just want to know how best to help her, and if I should change how I interact with her or not.

Emotional numbness is common in #PTSD . I’ve cried and grieved so much, that it’s like I can’t do it anymore. I have a sense of emptiness, like I can’t cry anymore. I usually try to confront my feelings but now I barely feel them. I’ve cried so much over one of my abusers that the pain isn’t as overwhelming as before. The other abuser, still draws emotions but even with her I’ve grown tired of crying. I’m tired physically and emotionally. This is the first time I’ve experienced this. How have you coped with it? #emotionalnumbness #PTSD #tiredoffighting

I have been taking SSRI and SNRI for the last 4 years. During this period, I had faced the problem of emotional numbness especially (sexual desires and arousal), till today I feel emotionally numb. And the disappearance of ejaculation has worsened my condition.
I don't know what to do....

I recently discovered that emotional numbness is a real thing and not just me going crazy. This is not the first time I've experienced it, but it is the worst to date. However, this time is also made worse because I'm emotionally attached to someone. He is there for me through everything and is more than I could ever ask for. However, one day I woke up (the same day the emotional numbness began) and I didn't feel the same. There is a disconnect. It's like my brain knows I love him but I can't feel that love anymore. Did I lose feelings for him? Or is it just the emotional numbness?
