Loss of emotions

When my brain and feelings shut off to prevent any more stress, it plays with my head and makes me think I don't love my partner, I know it's normal for feelings to shut off temporarily but does anyone else here have this problem?

Hi Rose. I am currently experiencing the same thing. It happened gradually and day after I became more and more numb. As if my feelings are very very weakened. Before this I was struggling with extreme stress and axiety about my health problems and it made me so scared but as time went by I became numb and almost as if I stopped caring. I'll be seeing a psych soon. I don't know how or when it will go away but I think we have to go with the flow to see a change, instead of thinking more and extending the period of the numbness. It's been really hard. You're not alone.

I'm pretty much in the same situation. One day, I started to get more and more numb and now my emotions hardly last seconds and my empathy is completely gone.

Hey there,

I've been entirely numb for years now. Hard to say how it was like to have feelings. The missing empathy is a major handicap.. I wasn't able to maintain any social relationships anymore... Cause it just hurts people when you can't understand them.

At the beginning I tried to study people's emotion, gestures to act as if I could still feel but eventually that all fell apart and everyone saw me as fake who's been pretending to be someone he's not.

That's probably not helping.. I'd like to apology right away tho it's always wrong since I don't feel sorry at all.

I've exiled myself from society at this point. There's no meaning in hurting everyone around me needlessly. But I'd call this a last resort. I really don't recommend this.


However, I still have a little bit of hope and registered here today. Good sign that there are more of us.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mikage. Though empathising with others is difficult, strictly following my own rules to avoid harming people has helped me a lot. Good luck fam.
