Feeling Emotionally Numb or Empty? Here are some tips
video description
Its like my emotions are inside of a cage and I dont have the key to unlock that cage
2. I feel guilty because we just lost my great grandma and I didnt know my great grandma but my mom and grandma are grieving so why cant I grief too
3. 3. 1. I dont enjoy the happy events
3. 2. I only really seem to feel anger when I feel something (luckily I know ways to contain said anger and it doesnt end up with what past me would have done (example: pushing a bookshelf onto somebody) and instead ends up with a few broken pencils that have to be pried out of the pencil sharpener)
3. 3. I am really into the series by Camila Cuevas called Glitchtale
3. 4. I have difficulty empathizing with others as shown by number 2
4. My baby brother is one of the things grounding me to this world
I have a chain of everything binding me to this world and he is the strongest link
5. One of the causes is I feel like I am on Autopilot all the time so a routine to follow every day is not gonna help me
6. Mindfulness probably could help me but almost all forms of motivation are already shattered and I have no motivation to try mindfulness
7. I tried something new and was told I was doing it wrong and now that dream is shattered and the motivation left with that
8. I dont want to get help because what if I just dont understand what Im feeling and then everybody I know thinks I have this mental health issue when I have no issues at all and then I have to explain that to them and that would make everybody involved either embarrassed, angry or both and I dont want to have to deal with that

I am in an extremely awful emotional numbness state and I am thankfully still alive. But I need to help myself more to get to know myself better or to recover my identity. I have let the emotional pain take me by storm and it has gotten worse and worse every day. Will I ever get out of this? I should be doing simple tasks but nothing seems interesting at the moment. I have been isolating myself from society including my family even and I have a therapist. I felt my brain acting in a not healthy manner. But I keep worrying and ruminating about the future and past and it is ruining my life and stopping me from making friends and finding a girl. Can an extremely dull brain I have now turn into a strong brain? I feel very lonely but at the same time I have social anxiety so I feel I am in prison. Please help me. I want to change my life. I have let myself down but I don't know if I can or how to trust myself. My brain has gone through too much mental and emotional trauma. Please help me. I have suffered from severe anxiety, severe depression, bipolar, and I feel totally lost. Like an alien in this world.

I feel like such a kid, even thoigh I kind of am since I'm fourteen. I feel so numb, I wish I'd have someone to love. I went trough a pretty though heartbreak(I've loved him for two years, and I felt terrible, but now I kind of miss the pain. I have a lot of plans for my future, but everyday, when I go to study, it's just a big Why am I doing this? To be smart? And then. I study with a friend to keep myself motivated, but I still wish to be more productive. I'm a teen with a really protective mother. I do think she's right though, and I'm so grateful she gave me such an education that doing something wrong doesn't even appeal me, but not being capable to go out as much as others do bothers me, Cause I spend all my day at home without any fresh air. This is killing me. I just want to love something and not give it up after two minutes.

Since my mother passed away she began to have suicidal thoughts and not only because of that but also because on the internet I have seen many idiotic people, from people who do not believe in life after death, from disrespectful and insensitive people (both me and to other people) and since the pandemic began I have become obsessive compulsive, those kinds of things already have me fed up and the truth is I try to be optimistic but those suicidal thoughts come back again and again and I even have those thoughts of wanting to hurt and hurt other people, I don't know if I need a psychologist or a psychiatrist, I know I have a family, I have my father, my aunts, my cousins and cousins, I have people who love me but it is not the same without my mother, since she passed away also a part of my life was turned off

During the pandemic a number of personal things happened and I went numb. I couldn't feel anything. I realized that my heart had been hit so hard that it was paralyzed. Being able to be mindful and grateful, thanking God every morning for waking up, appreciating that I have a home and noticing what was right in my life and appreciating the beauty of nature got me through that. I also did do things like collect healthy recipes to try something new that is positive.
Those techniques work. They work for us every day, not just in periods of extreme disorientation. And the best time to develop them is when we are not in crisis, if possible, so that if we are, we have the tools on hand.

I felt lonely and dead inside for many years but the recent death of my dog made things worse. The only reason I get out of bed is my job. Other than that I just sit at home and try to distract myself from those feelings but nothing is working. I tried to talk to my family but they dont understand how I feel. As long as I go to work and pay my bills they dont care about my mental situation. I mostly sit at home and drown in self doubt and self hate. I am not able to enjoy any of my hobbies because of this and I finally reached a point where I am seriously thinking about quitting. Its not going to get better so

I'm afraid I'm already too far from being recovered. There's no life awaiting for me, it feels like it's only a matter of time before I finally shut and go on autopilot. I really wished I could've been a better child for my parents but I don't even know what else could help with my situation. Asking for help is one thing, knowing what help to ask first is another. I don't know how I can be helped at this point. I'm sorry for being hopeless I just couldn't take it anymore. I hope all still goes well with you and your day. I wish you could've met me when I was okay. I bet we'd make good friends.

I got rid of everything I cared about and it works fine, no more relationships, no love, no family, no friends, I even got rid of my long time pets, pulled up all the plants growing in the yard because I was tired of seeing them, sent my old project muscle car and motorcycles that i was restoring to the salvage yard, i just don't care anymore, don't ever let your heart be involved with anything, it's not worth having, I had a very bad car accident in 2002 and wish I wouldn't have survived it because the world (all of it) stinks

I dont have a reason to stand up in the morning, i only do it becouse i need to go to school. I dont have much time to spend on fun things, becouse i need to study to get good grades, i dont even want to go to sleep anymore at night and i stay up the whole night becouse i just dont want to wake up again. I can only hope that i am doing alright, i keep being tired in school, i never feel ok. And at night i just feel empty. I dont know what to do with my life

I recently have been feeling this way after reading the book Hunger Games. Something about the book triggered something in me and I don't like it. It hurts really badly, and it got me thinking about the idea of survival and that the world can be a very dishonest and at times monsterous place. But I don't want to think about this stuff; I just want to feel ok!

I played a good game that has amazing story that is still ongoing. I finished it in the span of a few days so I guess feeling a bit empty is natural since I guess I have gotten attached to the characters and having to wait to watch their story is kinda a bit jarring. Since its been intergrated as part of my routine

I just can't tell what makes me keep going.

I don't have anyone I care about and I just don't feel loved.
I don't really have friends or family. I get up every mornign just because

I wonder whats the case whe you live life, but without literally either of positive or negative emotions. Living life with literally no feelings including the depressing numbness thats there after something tragic had happened.
Im a case of one and theres basically no answers for it anywhere for me

One of my best friends is suffering from emotional numbness and anger issues. She had traumatic experiences since she was a child and she always blames herself for her mental health, depression and anger issues. How can I help her as a friend? I want to apologize ahead if my usage of words is inappropriate.

What does it mean if I dont like the things I used to love, live for. I love music but whenever I listen to it now I feel nothing. Its been like this for the last 3 months. What do I do? Talk to a doctor? Take a break from music? Someone please respond? I feel helpless at this point?

I feel completely empty and devoid of any emotion. I cant feel happy, sad, excited, angry or anxious. Just completely dead inside. I hate this I used to feel things very strongly and had a rich emotional life. I used to laugh a lot, cry a lot and feel human

What makes you get out of bed?
Nothing
Just that little hope that one day I'll find someone or something to fill that shitty hole. But that'll probably never happen and idk what else to do so I just mask it and try to reach for the impossible.
