My heads blank??

[Unsure12]

Right so I have no thoughts sometimes I just sit there and it’s like I can feel my heads working but I’m brain dead I have no thoughts.. then someone asks me what’s wrong and I just can’t even string a sentence together.. It’s like I havent been thinking at all and nothing’s on my mind but I can’t talk because of it. Because I literally have no thoughts. It only happened when people was Around me, but today I’ve found it hard being alone my minds blank and empty but I feel so sad and hurt I don’t understand

Hi I get this too and have had it for many years. Once during group counselling the counsellor asked me what colours I saw when I was musing and I said black. Nothing at all just a blank. My mind can be so empty sometimes it's scary but I am used to it now.

I have a theory that when you are depressed your mind can only handle so much and when it reaches its limit it automatically shuts off. Then when someone talks to you your brain has to reboot itself like a computer which is why rubbish comes out for a few seconds.

I don't have any answers for you but just wanted to let you know you aren't alone. x

Have you been diagnosed with any mental health conditions. If not you need to discuss your vacant feelings.

You need to know what has caused your problem ?

Sometimes people can get the vacant feeling if they feel overwhelmed in various types of situation. It may be you feel uncomfortable to people in a group, possibly you are self concience or similar. I used to have something same when I was at meetings or when I was an instructor or same. The Cat has got your toungh comes to mind
