I’m just tired of being emotionally numb ... I don’t understand why I feel this way ... when I think I’m getting better I get worse ...

Spirit19, holding you in my thoughts. It's going to be okay. It will

get better. It's okay to lean on the group. We all need that extra

support at times. We care xx

Anxiety is like putting pieces of a puzzle together. Little by little until you get a completed picture and your life is whole again. Don't be afraid. Breathe xx

Hi Spirit19, Those pieces of you are still there. Maybe buried deep within you but never lost. Feeling emotionally numb was how I felt at one time. Looking in the mirror I only saw a reflection of a shell of Agora. Being reassured by my therapist, that the strong Agora was still within reach made me reverse my way of thinking more positively. For me, the emotionally numb feeling was coming from my medications but I didn't know it at the time. So I spent many years in therapy as well as finding different modalities that I could turn to when overwhelmed. It wasn't until I came off my meds that the veil of emotional numbness disappeared little by little. I knew then I was going to be okay.

We all need medication at one time or another. Some for a longer period of time. Medication's job is to numb us from the reality around us overpowering our emotional senses. We have to accept that as part of the healing process. When it

becomes a hindrance rather than a benefit, then it's time to change our approach to anxiety through our doctor only.

Some things in our life Spirit are never going to change. It is what it is. So in order

to handle that we must learn to accept the things we can't change. If we don't we go in circles and get no where. We can wish that things would be better but wishing alone doesn't help. It takes moving forward with our life. Only that way we will have a life and not stay stuck. xx

I wish I could stop taking my medication , the emotional numbness is tiring

[IChoose in reply to Spirit19]

I understand. I went completely numb and neutered on Zoloft. Plus my guts felt like they were on fire. I took two dosages only. I am not on medication by my choice but I'm sure the right one, together with therapy, would help. If the meds are stopping major symptoms that you can't get rid of any other way ... Oh well, you hope they come up with something better in the future. So sorry about how you are feeling.

Spirit, you are still you! You may be going through a really rough patch right now, but you're all still there, complete. When I was feeling especially bad, a therapist told me to imagine a strong warrior woman. I pictured a woman in a sparkling red dress wearing gladiator sandals and some type of headpiece. In one hand she carried a shield and in another, she carried a spear. I can't tell you how many times over the years that I've summoned up that image. It's my own inner power - she just helped me visualize it in physical form. Maybe this would help you, too.

We all feel desperate and alone sometimes, but we're not. We've got each other. You were put on this earth for a purpose, and that purpose is good.
