I know I've posted a lot lately, but i need to get this off my chest as well. Im really scared ive lost my feelings. I keep thinking what if I dont care about anyone or thing? What if its just Me and not the mental issues I have? I even question what even are emotions? (Sounds crazy) I feel like i could be emotionally shut down to from obsessing over stupid stuff and racing thoughts.
Again im sorry for posting sooo much on this, but im honestly scared
Hey there! Try not to worry too much. It’s just anxiety making you think all these things. You haven’t lost your feelings. They are still there, just buried beneath the symptoms of anxiety and will return to the surface when you give up the fight and accept how you are currently thinking and feeling.
Hey, hope you're well. Yeah I get weird stuff like this with emotions too, especially when they change so rapidly from one week to the next. When I comes to mental illness, I'd say to never underestimate it, it can do all of the things you're talking about and more. Of course, having shifts in emotion like this can be normal, but it all depends if it affects how you function.
Yeah burnout and numbness are very real, so that's possible cause for sure. There's too many logical and simple that everyone experiences, so there's definitely nothing wrong with you. I'd try to explore the thoughts more to get a grip on what the consequences are that you're fearing, but also give you're brain a break too and leave this thought train only for a few days, see if that helps. Best of luck.
Hey, I completely understand how you feel. I felt the same way for a long time. My sister felt the same and still struggles to regain her emotions. It's not that you don't have them, it likely is due to you feeling numb. If you would like, I would be more than happy to talk with you about this via message. I will send you a message now. If you ever feel like reaching out, you are more than welcome to write me anytime. I really won't mind.
Hi there. It sounds like you have racing thoughts, and I know they can be so pervasive, so unsettling, so exhausting. When I experienced racing thoughts in the past, I was so anxious that I felt numb. At the time I welcomed it, because for me somehow the anxiety got better when I was so numb I couldn't feel. What I needed was rest, and a reprieve. What helped me was medication (not sure if you are taking meds, or if they're an option for you). Since I'm having an anxiety flare up right now, i've been taking Klonopin to sleep at night. Small dose, 0.5mg, but it calms me down enough to sleep, and stay asleep for 6 hours or more. You need some relief, friend. I'm sorry, I'm new here, and haven't read any of your other posts, so if you've mentioned meds I wouldn't know. What you are experiencing is not going to be there forever. There's a way to improve this significantly, and I'm confident you can find it if you keep trying things until you find what works. It's a process, but you'll get there. Medication, talk therapy, meditation, acupuncture, herbal supplements (clear them with a doctor!!), aromatherapy, exercise (yoga?)... All of these things and a gazillion more.
Here to talk if you want.
Thank you so so much
