Has anyone experienced this?

you know us BPD's

were all about unneccessary emotion...

But..

Have you guys ever had a time where you felt nothing?

Kind of surprised myself. I am down in Tenn chilling and regroup from many stressful events in Michigan where I live..

I was supposed to come back and finish couples counseling with the douchebag but when I think of him..nothings there..Im not angry..not sad..nothing..I have absolutely no feelings for him right now.. I didnt even think that was possible for me..

Just wondered if you guys felt the same

Yep! Typically if something pushes me too far I dissociate and will feel NOTHING. It's usually temporary, but when I do feel nothing it's kind of strange. It's an almost numb feeling, just blank.

No worries. You're normal

Yuuup. It's the greatest 'feeling' out there. So nice to have some peace and quiet.

so im dissociating? Maybe thats a good thing

It was much harder when I was living in the same house because he knew how to push my ######6 buttons..but here..I dont have to hear his stupid #######4 and I can just ignore his texts..

So used to constantly being keyed up..This is new to me

i know but that seems so strange to me..We have BPD, we feel all the time..I find it hard to believe we all of a sudden dont feel.

I think it's because we feel so much, we eventually become overstimulated and our bodies react by shutting down. For me anyways, I know that if there's too much triggers, I will eventually shut off. But it takes a lot to get there.

Thats kind of what it feels like..like someone turned off the faucet

more like at certain situation..

checked for feelings for douchebag..nope..not there

should be upset about the letter my bible thumping friend sent me..nope..dead...

meeting some nice people on the internet and having fun intelligent conversation..yup loving it'

Maybe the $#%^ just pushed the "###$ I do not give" button

I understand that feeling 100%. Personally, I started loving it. It helps to cope with things I can't stand. And how are you feeling today?

I don't remember having a completely non-emotional day, but I did have something even more interesting, last week. I had a normal day! Not normal for us, normal as in what we imagine non's live like! No negative thoughts, no little hints of suicide, no triggers, nadda. I could look myself in the mirror and smile (an extreme rarity) and everything. I was talking to Wineaux about it, and I said to her that I kept waiting for the world to turn to black and white, and Rod Serling to show up and start talking to a camera about how I'd just crossed over into the Twilight Zone!

All I could hear in my head all day long was Ice Cube's "Today Was A Good Day." http://youtu.be/QWfbGGZE07M

Angee, after having read your thread about douchebag, it's kind of funny that I probably have more emotions about him than you do. You sound like you couldn't care less about him right now; I, on the other hand, want to put a size 12 up his a** right now for how he's treating you!

I know, it's a guy thing; some of us get protective when we hear about women being mistreated. White knight syndrome, what can I say?
