Yes I have experienced this also and actually am experiencing it right now. I feel like I can’t feel any of the emotions I want to feel or cry when I feel like I want to break down and cry it just doesn’t come out

I too have been feeling numb. Don't care about much of anything. Can't seem to express feelings. Want to cry but cant or won't idk anymore. Be any ideas how to get back to normal?

I think mine is chemical imbalance. Have to use meds to get back to normal.

I have felt this. I think it is a natural coping mechanism that comes with being severely depressed for so long. Your mind is overwhelmed so it goes into this state of nothingness.

Yes, I'm also experiencing this as I work on the shamed self. There are a lot of suppressed emotions from childhood that we've numbed. Try be with the numbness, like any other emotion. I've exhausted myself as my mind has been overwhelmed trying to find answers. Thanks all for the info.

Yes I have this, I'm usually numb most of the time with the odd flash of anger or total depths of dispair. Can't see any hope or an end to it. Have promised some people I will go to the doctors again. But what's the point.

YES.

All. The. Time.

For extra fun, I’m very apathetic about my mortality. For instance, I got my yearly mammogram this week. My results came back and because I have dense breast tissue I’m supposed to make an appointment for a follow up exam. I chose to ignore the email because I really don’t care if I live or die. I have odd moles that would alarm most people. I know for sure I won’t take my own life but a lot of times I wish someone/something would.
