Does anyone know what it's called to not have a voice in your head?

5 Replies

Is there a name for it? Because I feel like I struggle with not being connected to my own thoughts and feelings. It is probably related to the meds I am taking. Because I used to have thoughts all the time. Is there anything I can do about it? I've started recording myself and listening to it and that helps some but I'm afraid if I do that around others I will seem extra weird. I am already weird. Growing up where I did, I felt very pressured to conform but I didn't. However, I think it helps me think and I can't just talk to someone whenever I have a feeling. Can I? I think I'm becoming more social. I'm still a bit nervous going out and being around people. I just feel like sharing. Thoughts?

Thanks

Yes emotional detachment. It comes about when we are never taught as children how to regulate our emotions, not being validated enough, and feeling certain emotions aren't allowed so you bury them instead. Sound like you?

It can be a symptom of childhood emotional neglect. Google it as I think you might find it interesting.
