My friend is talking about how she wishes she could end it all, that she wishes she could down all the pills in the house....and as i saw these texts, i didnt feel anything...ik i care but i didnt feel it....does that make me a monster? Heartless?

No hun don’t feel bad. You are going through your own struggles. Sometimes emotion is lacking

I should feel i care

[SantoRyu]

You care. It just sometimes we feel numb due to our own mental health and battles. I get like that sometimes.

[Lindsey14 in reply to SantoRyu]

Its normal even now?

[SantoRyu in reply to Lindsey14]

Yes, in my experience. Honestly, I’ve had people tell me troubling things like this and there were times where I felt so numb. I had to force myself to respond. I had to push myself. It wasn’t because I didn’t care. I did. I just felt so dead inside. I can only speak for myself but I fight against my depression and anxiety daily. I’m tired. Of course we feel numb inside at times. We are too busy beating ourselves up. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

I relate a lot to what you said

I think it’s just part of being human. A person can only listen to so much before they grow desensitized to something. It’s a coping mechanism.
