Numb.

5 Replies

I just feel numb. Nothing makes me feel like it did. I think it's just stress but I feel like there's something wrong with me. I have a great life and shouldn't be feeling like this. I just want to have my emotions back. I've tried everything I can think of and nothing online has helped. Any advice???

Hi Woodworker5 and Welcome to our community of friends.

Sometimes, medications themselves can cause this numb feeling.

If not on anything, then it might be something deep down inside that

is missing in your life. Depression can also cause this feeling.

Have you seen anyone regarding this sensation? :) xx

I'm not on anything. I've not seen anyone but I feel pretty complete. Like I said, mostly stress.

I understand that stress in itself can cause this feeling. Even when you may feel

complete, something is causing that stress to consume you. Work, Finances,

Family, Relationships etc. We need to develop methods to reduce that stress in

our lives. Giving yourself some "me time" everyday in the form of meditation and

breathing can help. These breaks can rejuvenate your body and your mind.

It can take up to 30 days to see the difference but it does work. I've used Meditation

and Breathing exercises for years. Upon awakening, midafternoon and before bed

are good times to do this. You will feel better both emotionally and physically.

You will have a better quality of sleep, going into the relaxing REM sleep.

I hope you find ways in helping rid yourself of that "numb" feeling. Start fully

living again and not just existing. My best to you :) xx

I wish I had advice but unfortunately I’m right in that state and I as well don’t know what to do. I don’t want to talk to my friend or family because I don’t want them to worry , but with my current state, my life and my relationship I’ve lost all meaning and lost any resemblance of who I used to be. Maybe talking through it can help out but I don’t know. Peace
