Fenrir_devours_himself Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ever notice how you can be happy, sad, angry, scared, whatever, one minute, and shortly after you are still in that situation and just don't feel anything? I recognize this should annoy me (not feeling things) but currently it just doesn't. I want to feel, but many times I just don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenrir_devours_himself Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 This has been a relatively new thing for me even though the rest of my symptoms have been present throughout my life. Not really sure what to do with it. Makes me incredibly restless and disappointed in myself. I guess that's a good thing that I can feel disappointed in myself rather than nothing at all? I dunno.

Whistu Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I think the problem is we are feeling things, just not outwardly. Subconsciously it is affecting us and we are not dealing with it, just our brains are wired to "protect" us by numbing rather than dealing with the actual issues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lp44 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Don't know what happened there...my whole post is gone. Basically "I hear ya!" I don't really have fluctuating emotions. I just have one..numb...and that's not an emotion. I agree with Whistu..I think we "take it all in" I just don't think we deal with it the same.

SoulSurvivor Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm the opposite…If I didn't have to feel… I would probably feel just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure exactly anymore when it has come or gone but same happened to me when I lost my best friend's dad. I can see pros and cons to feelings, but the larger implications for becoming a type one civilization, etc I think calls for feelings. But I won't go into all that right now.

For her it usually helped to talk things out with people. Exactly who, is merely who you are more comfortable opening up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will59 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 My emotions are quite muted really. I do have very mild emotions but I don't really understand them and I often spot how I'm feeling physically rather than mentally if that makes sense.

bsquared2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 That's the reason I started to cut. I needed to feel something, and I wasn't able to cry. Still can't. I just feel numb... I'm either numb or sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
