Has anyone suggested that some of these mental and/or emotional states could stem from physiological causes. Your bio stated that you were 19 years of age; it's entirely likely that your emotional state is in flux because literally everything else about you is in flux. You're still growing. You're mind questions things and that's healthy. At such a tender age you shouldn't expect to understand everything, even about yourself. As far as understanding things like "love" there are people that die of old age before understanding love.

What do I mean by all this? Simply, you need to relax and accept that there's a lot you don't understand and THAT'S O.K. You're gonna have an entire lifetime to figure it out.

Emotional numbness could be a sign of depression or emotional dissociation. Do you think you might be depressed? Also, if you have been through anything traumatic, emotional dissociation, the shutting off of all emotions both positive and negative, could be the brain's way of protecting itself from more painful emotions. In this case, it might be helpful to do some kind of therapy to help you process through the trauma. Hope you start to feel better soon and can know that there is, and will always be, love inside you.

The only trauma i can think of,is a dog attack when i was 8

[Lindsey14 in reply to mvillarreal]

Yep definitely have depression

[mvillarreal in reply to Lindsey14]

Do you take medication for it?

[Lindsey14 in reply to mvillarreal]

Yep don't think it helps

[mvillarreal in reply to Lindsey14]

Have you talked to your psychiatrist about that? If it doesn't work for you, he/she/they might be able to make a medication change that will suit you better. What are you taking right now?

[Lindsey14 in reply to mvillarreal]

Currently on citalopram

[mvillarreal in reply to Lindsey14]

And that doesn't seem to be working? I take sertraline, and that helps me a lot! Maybe you could talk with your doctor about trying a new medication?

I feel numb at times and don’t know what to do. But I’ve noticed it passes at times. And when I start doing other things my feelings start to connect like dots . Like reading a book, listening to a podcast, going for a walk, organizing your closet/bedroom or painting, making a list of your strengths and personality traits you like about yourself. I google list or go on Pinterest for words, journal, gratitude list, etc...Hope that helps
