Right now In my life I feel isolated I feel alone, nobody even wants to care my brothers and sisters will just use my problems against me I can't cry anymore the last time I did was like a couple days ago and it only lasted for like a couple minutes I'm tired of it and I can't just end it all because I'm not even living for me anymore I'm trapped. And sometimes I'll get angry and swear which I try not to do but it's when I'm really angry but everyone just laughs at me sometimes I wanna be violent the one thing I want right now is to just leave, get away from my family they overwhelm me and I hate it when they talk about and care bout other people's problems but won't notice mine, I can't even tell them because they'll shame me, they only want to be around my cousin and them they exclude my brother and I. Forgive me if it's a long comment I got nowhere else to vent to though I'm too ashamed to do it in person.

For #3 my food don't taste like carb board it's just like all the foods have the same taste. Also my emotional numbness came after I got over my depression. I had to fit in with different people so I to pretend to know what I like. Which this lead to me not knowing myself. Also people in the residential I went to would hurt/threatened me if I felt any emotional response to them or something they want to do. So I've became emotional numb. It's really hard to become emotional numb to this and you really don't want to do it because for me when I start to cry I don't know why I'm crying. I can only assume what happened. I don't know what emotions I'm feeling and it sucks. I loose interest in alot of things. Never try to make yourself emotional numb on purpose. You might think it's a good idea but in reality it's just going to damage you more.

Im so lost can someone please help me. My father is in the hospital right now with a life threatening condition and I dont seem to care at all. In fact I can picture him not being in my house anymore and I have no problem with it. I love my dad and I cant believe Im acting like this. Its like Ive already accepted life without him. Im going into college in 4 months and I dont even care, I dont look forward to anything, I dont feel any sort of emotion yet Im aware of all of it and have this feeling of okayness. in a sense. I just want to feel again what do I do I want to not just accept the worse, I want to be happy and excited or even sad,

At some point I just stopped being me, I used to be so happy and cheerful and funny and outgoing but I haven't been me in awhile. People ask what's wrong but I can never say what is wrong. It's a weird feeling, the feeling of reaching out for help but you can never get what you need. Like talking to people about my feelings, Iv never told anyone how I truly felt because if I do I'll get laughed at or mocked or looked at differently. I feel like a husk of what I once was or an empty shell of my former self and I just feel empty. Living is hard now.

I only feel the need to survive and the importance of not neglecting my existence, for it will lead to death. Therefore I do not neglect my physical existence; I work and eat to make my body prepared for adaptations it might need; the intelligence's existence, a human is born with intelligence, therefore neglecting the mind will lead to death, for the human will become like the beast and will only know how to eat and live, thus we must think. Feelings I seldom find, but instincts move me.

I used to be a happy and bubbly person. People enjoyed my company and my friends and I always had fun together. Than things started getting complicated and we started growing apart. I started overloading on homework and Ive been so stressed and after the worst stress of all everything just shut off. Now I cant feel anything. I dont care about life anymore. Nothing matters or affects me anymore. Someone says something mean? Oh well. Someone gives me a hug? Oh well whatever. I feel empty.
reply

I just cared so much about everything and was so hypersensitive to every feeling. It created so much drama and judgement from other people that I shut all my feelings off by force. I think it hurts a lot more this way but the pain is so bad Im just numb to it. It feels like Im imprisoned in my own chest and I cant get out. Like there are metals bars where there used to be water and clay. All the water has dried up. I dont know how to undo what Ive done. I dont know how to change it.
reply

I used to cry like so easily. I used to get bullied alot. I was super sad and insecure. Everyone kept telling me to just not cry and some people say that I am just being dramatic and I am trying to get attention from others. No one ever believed me.
Everyone kept forcing me to just not cry and now I only cry when something terrible heppens and thats very rarely. I feel like crying all the time but now. I feel like others think Im Weak when I cry so I just cant cry anymore.

reply

I wish I could feel sad. I've stopped feeling sad about anything since I got broken up with, I've only cried thinking about him, even when my uncle, who I was close with, passed, I didn't feel anything, I'm scared that if somebody really close to me passed away then I wouldn't feel anything at all, I hate it, I don't even feel sad about not being able to see my friends at school anymore because I graduated, I don't even feel HAPPY about graduating.
reply

Close Friend passed away when i heard the news i felt sadness, and shock a tear ran down, but thats because i forced myself to do it im afraid im not connected to my emotions, instead i get angry at things. I feel as though im heartless, though im sure im not do i just not care enough to feel? Am i selfish? I want to feel but i dont want to show. So i block myself from pain and keep composed and solid.
reply

I have been numb for over a year. I do not feel happy, sad, anxious, angry, joy or pleasure. I feel no motivation or warmth towards my family or friends. I do not care about anything and have lost all my interests and passions. I feel nothing and I would rather have my anxiety back. I used to feel very anxious but also happy at the same time. I didnt feel anxious all the time I felt joy a lot too.

Has anyone here got a solution to get out of this?
I used to be a music lover and loved to sing but from 2 months i am unable to feel anything, feeling very flat every moment.
I sing in tune but without feelings, hear soulful but soul left, i am here but feels like my body is empty.
Sometimes I try to cry a few drops without feeling anything and again flat life goes on.

reply

why aren't you sinking with me? how dare you not believe me? there IS no right answer. stop pretending, get real. depression is healthy. becoming depressed is opening your third eye and beginning to see things clearly for what they are. the inevitability can't be coped with. you can only succumb to its grasp. anything else is foolish and naive. open your eyes already!
reply

I used to have all these 8 signs not so long ago. But gladly, I finally found an amazing person who changed my life. Now I can finally experience things again and feel alive, it took time, but it was worth it. Whoever is going through this, I hope you're doing okay.
reply

so the thing is i can feel other people's emotions where deeply but i just can't feel mine idk why but it is so hard for me to understand my feelings or emotional. When i tell people that they are just like ohh no u are just pretending or something like that
reply

So I do cry atleast once in 3 days.
I do feel a steep pointed pain in chest for sometime.
I feel irritated if I hear someone shouting
I think abt death but then won't do it.
I m sorry if this irritates u I don't know but I thought I should write

reply

I dont even know how to fix it. Im not sure that I want to fix it. Its just easier existing than feeling. Its easy to get things done. I dont know. Ive lived like this for so long. How do I fix this? But Ill fix it after school. I cant feel right now.
reply

It seems like Nothing excits me. I just exist. I dont feel sad, happy or anything. I live the same life everyday. I make the same mistakes over and over. I dont know what i want in my life I daydream most of the time. I dont know what to do with my life
reply

I just recently started feeling like this, and I relate to every single one of these from where I am Christmas is only a few days away and normally Im really excited for Christmas but this year Im not excited for anything not even my birthday
reply

reply

reply

Guys I believe we are together in this and even with all these difficulties, we will make something good and meaningful out of our lives coz we have the power to do so.
Let's stick together until the day comes.

reply

the worst thing is, when I feel sad. I cant cry, I dont even look sad. So everybody thinks Im happy - if Im at a funeral or something. Its terrible, it makes my feel like Im also being pressured to cry.
reply

Right so what if I fit the bill for all 8 Ive felt this way for so long I dont know who I am anymore. I dont know what normal is. Everything just seems like a bad decision.
reply
