My life has yet to fully get started and Im struggling to find my way, causing intense worry and sadness.
I'm quite a sensitive person and the role I'm falling into is of a poor victim.

Does anybody else feel like they are completely numb inside most of the time and although you may laugh, talk seemingly as normal, inside is still numbness. The only feeling that 'I feel occasionally is Anger, other than when I am triggered by certain circumstances or nightmares
