What is wrong with me?

[Lindsey14]

I feel so emotionally numb so much of the time and even question what it feels like to feel emotions sometimes. I have a more I know i care feeling than feel it. Sometimes i even question if i care or not. Will i ever feel again?

Is it mental issues or just me?

[Herababy]

Are you okay. Do u want to talk about it?

[Lindsey14 in reply to Herababy]

I'm just scared I won't feel my emotions again

[Herababy in reply to Lindsey14]

Sorry that u are scared. Why are u so scared. Is something about to happen, maybe like a big event or life changing thing. Being scared is normal but u have to learn to control how scared u get.

I'm sorry for what you're going through now, and what you've been through.

I believe you will feel again. You will come through this somehow. It may feel like it's never ending but please just hang on in there.

I recall a terrible time I went through when I was 19. I was off work on sick leave (can't remember how long, sorry). It was terrible, no one could help me. It took time. It was linked to my physical condition as I was anaemic and most likely exhausted physically and mentally. I'd been having early periods for a while, then had them after 2 & half weeks - then after 1 & half weeks.

I wasn't a big eater either. I eventually improved my diet. Was given pills to regulate the periods.

Have you been checked out by your doctor? Have you had any blood tests such as a Full Blood Count, Vitamin D levels, Vitamins B12 and B9 and Thyroid checks ? Any Antibodies tested ?

Thinking of you x

I havent had any tests like that nope

[Mary-intussuception in reply to Lindsey14]

I would ask the doctor.

Cannot understand a doctor prescribing medication without doing any investigations.

[Lindsey14 in reply to Mary-intussuception]

My new doctor didn't before my new meds

[Mary-intussuception in reply to Lindsey14]

Could you be experiencing side effects of the medication? Have you read through the patient information leaflet?

I would definitely arrange to see your doctor and talk through all your feelings.

Are you able to eat well?

Are you drinking plenty of water?

[Lindsey14 in reply to Mary-intussuception]

Maybe not enough water, i dunno ive been on the new meds a week

I can be very cold with people I suppose it is not just the medications it is how I was treated over the years I was able to attend a hospital ward where a person was on their way out and I was as cool as a cucumber. The same when someone, even family were dead it was all just a matter of fact. As long as I had helped the person and given comfort I was happy that I had done my best and there was nothing to approach myself with.

I looked at the principle the persons gone, good bye, move on. I was always given the job of being able to give succour I had nothing to approach myself with. I was the same at funerals.

No disrespect for the departed.

I put it down to my upbringing.

No, it’s probably something mentally going on with You. I was feeling like that sometimes. Seek counseling to help you figure what’s going on with You 🙏

[Lindsey14 in reply to Want2BHappy3]

That or therapy?

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Lindsey14]

Therapy
