8 Signs You're Emotionally Numb

Are you emotionally numb? Do you feel depressed, empty, and lose interest in the things you used to enjoy? Emotional numbness is when you lose the ability to feel or express your emotions, which is also known as anhedonia. Anhedonia, is in fact, one of the many symptoms of depression. Numbness can grow and worsen over time, so here are eight signs that you are emotionally numb.

Emotional numbness when you grow up emotionally numb: 1. no idea what to do in the future (no idea what to do in pretty much any situation) 2. no interest in food, friends, talking, expressing emotions, homework, or life in general 3. no interest in health at all 4. paranoia (idk, maybe that's just me)

Sometimes it feels like I understand on how others feel but... I tend not to care as I used to be... It feels like all of my emotions weren't even real, and after all these years of abandonment, betrayed, and being shunned by so many people.. Sure I ended up having friends again but... I feel like what really made me get costed to that.. Is losing all of my genuine feelings that I used to had in the past... All gone... And I feel like I only focus on myself more than I do with my family or friends needs.. I have grown to not seem to care about anything like I used to... I only have online friends, and at least two or four friends in person, and everyone in school is just so nice to me but... I feel like everything around me is all fake... Especially my feelings nowadays... And.. I just wish on how to feel again... And wishing to control myself too.. Considering I can only feel anger a lot more than my other emotions... It always made me feel as if I am a shitty person to begin with... And my family being right about me... That I haven't changed over the years of how I am... Like yeah I changed my actions and all but... It's the way on how I act and feel that hasn't changed..

[@analycanabarro9660]

i feel like no one really cares bout me u know, ive lost all my friends and i barely speak to my family anymore, i feel lazy and guilty because i dont do anything but at the same time i just dont care anymore, when someones come to ask if im ok i just froze and dont know what to say because i feel like what im feeling is not valid, i dont cry because i feel like i have no reasons to cry but i want to just let it go so badly, i started doing drugs recently and i fell shitty about it but i cant realy stop anymore, everything feels just fake and i feel like anything will make me happy anymore like i dont have a reason to live

[@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

I wouldn't normally proselytize about this, but, I am from the empoverished periphery of Rio de Janeiro and I have been a NEET ever since 2012. I have autism (former "Asperger's", also pathological demand avoidance), ADHD (I used to have many anxiety attacks due to rejection sensitive dysphoria), very mild OCD and cyclothymia (both used to be worse), social anxiety (developed after I got fat), and I am recovering from anxiety, binge eating disorder, maladaptive daydreaming, and atypical light gender dysphoria (I am nonbinary). What helped me was studying more about myself and my own needs. There are tests for your personality that may indicate that. There is the Socionics test (which is more accurate at revealing your Myers-Briggs type than about all free Myers-Briggs tests; add /subtype to the page of your Sociotype at Sociotype dot com), there is Enneagram, there is Attitudinal Psyche, and then there is researching about your Homestuck types (mine are Pipia and Bard of Light). When you are more aware about what kind of person you are (and really, put some time into researching the truth these tests may offer, Google a lot until you are satisfied and you think you figured out what exactly you are, try to look other types if yours does not feel particularly revealing - and Myers-Briggs descriptions need to discuss Jungian cognitive functions such as Ne and Ti), it is time to make an astrological birth chart. Yes. Yes I realize this sounds absurd. But I was an atheist for 10 years (between ages 10 and 20), I knew all of the logical fallacies, I know how to filter obvious fake news and I always denounced pseudoscience. But, when I got deeper and deeper into astrology in order to try to disprove it to my mom and my friends, it ended up revealing its truth. I had to concede and accept that spirituality is real and maybe we live in a simulation. Other atheist friends tricked me into reading Jeffrey Dahmer's chart without knowing it was him, and I guessed his disorders more or less correctly (I saw autism, OCD and borderline - he had schizotypal, OCPD and borderline). What 99.95% of astrologers don't know and 99.9995% of people who believe in astrology don't know is that, 1. most people are not their Sun sign, but a different sign (which helps to explain why some people identify a lot with astrology and others not at all) and 2. the Hellenistic period, Medieval and Renaissance astrologers were right, and Saturn rules Aquarius, Jupiter rules Pisces and Mars rules Scorpio (you can use the new planets and the endless asteroids to try to think of potential problems and alterations to the planets within Saturn's orbit). When making a birth chart at sites like www dot astro dot com (requires login) or www dot astro-seek dot com (does not require login), look up your Ascendant. You need to know your birth time. You are the specific planet ruling the Ascendant. If you are Aries or Scorpio rising, you are your chart's Mars. Mars will indicate your body, and, since Hellenistic Greeks did not believe in mind-body dualism, it will also indicate your mind. The degree of the specific sign in which Mars is found, the aspects it makes to other planets, bodies and axes in the chart, the house it is found at, will talk a lot about who you are (I recommend researching Renaissance Astrology and Skyscript, among other sources, to try to figure out how Mars and the signs impact your body, and trying to look up relationship between parts of your body that may be compromised by a hurt Mars hurting a specific sign, and the mental problems it may be associated with - I do this for my friends all the time, and I often figure out signs of depression, psychosis, C-PTSD and autism; of course, I am not a therapist so I can't officially diagnose a thing, but I recommend them their own course of action and who and what to try to seek more expert help with). If you are Libra or Taurus rising, you are your chart's Venus. If you are Virgo or Gemini rising, you are your chart's Mercury. If you are Pisces or Sagittarius rising, you are your chart's Jupiter. If you are Aquarius or Capricorn rising, you are your chart's Saturn. If you are Leo rising, you are your chart's Sun, and if you are Cancer rising, you are your chart's Moon. Rising here is synonymous with Ascendant.

Once you figure out the degree of the RULER of the Ascendant (say, you have 11° Libra Mars, and 27° Scorpio rising - this makes you 11° Libra, or Libra 12 in a lot of these oracles), you should look these up (as well as other degrees that relate to your general planets and asteroids if you are curious): sabiansymbols.com/symbol-lookup/ www.jamesburgess.com/sabian-symbols.html www.mindfire.ca/An%20Astrological%20Mandala/An%20Astrological%20Mandala%20-%20Contents.htm www.astrotheme.com/the_360_symbolic_degrees.php www.cornerstone-astrology.com/kozminsky_symbols.php john-sandbach.blogspot.com/2010/02/94-omegachandra-symbols-aries-1-5.html These will take you on a journey about the nature of the Zodiac as a closed circle representing the cycle of life, which will allow you to get a deeper awareness of what it is all about.

Once you are better at figuring out how those archetypes relate to the structure of your life and of your mind, I recommend reading authors like Freud, Jung, Winnicott, Reich and Skinner. Remember, I am not a professional and I am not qualified to talk about this subject, but I have noticed a few patterns. You might be wondering why would I confuse disorders such as autism, ADHD and psychotic spectrum disorders at times. These often look very similar in astrology because they are related to Neptune, Lord of Entropy, causing a mess in your gut-immunity-brain axis, which can often be seen as afflictions to Moon or Mercury; afflictions of Neptune to the Sun, which represents the physical structure of the brain, tend to indicate a psychotic spectrum disorder, but you need to pay attention to other signs, such as Chiron opposite, square or conjunct Saturn, indicating low boundaries of the mind, often seen in the charts of people who have dissociative disorders, C-PTSD, borderline, substance abuse issues, gender dysphoria, chronic pain and chronic fatigue. Neptune is more tied to substance abuse per se - when making conjunction or harsh aspects to Saturn, particularly. You will often notice people who have Moon or Mercury conjunct, square or opposite Uranus, Neptune and Pluto often display signs of autism, ADHD and similar conditions such as learning and speech disorders. These planets are disruptors to the cycle of life, which ends at Saturn, the planet representing spacetime/material reality, hierarchy, boundaries, skin, hair, nails, teeth, bones, structure, cold, slowness, karma (here defined as "the tendency of things to continue in the path where they were already originally projected to be"), fear, lack or excess, social constructs, marriage, law, science, houses, civilization, oppression and death. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are "spiritual dimensions" that interfere with the order of things. Uranus interrupts things abruptly like a ray strike or a sudden combustion, it stimulates accelerationism, ivory towers, revolutions, inventions and odd or erratic behavior (if Saturn and the things it houses is a mountain, Uranus parts it in half), Neptune causes entropy through alienation, erosion, cults, escapism, artificiality, brainwashing, belief in utopias, confusion, propaganda, overwhelm, leakage, melting, rotting, fossil fuels/global warming (carbon once lost to the bowels of the Earth returning due to entropy and causing positive feedback loops of energy and release), parasitism, infections, all sorts of immunity problems and people and things just parting away, spreading themselves too thin over space and time (if Saturn is a mountain, Neptune is its erosion, mixing with the rests of other mountains and ultimately bringing it down to sealevel where there is nothing prominent or characteristic anymore), and Pluto is what happens when the entropy of Neptune has given rise to a parallel "underworld" structure unseen by the rest of the system metamorphosing and metastasizing into a myriad of unexpected things (if Uranus is just an odd rich person with no concern for society doing what they pelase and Neptune is opportunistic criminality, Pluto is a crime syndicate; Pluto is mutiny, cancer, nuclear energy and accidents, DNA mutations, viral hijacking of cells, extinction whether accidental or intentional, ideologies that call for the abuse of entire groups of people or living beings, panic, secrecy, mutedness, spying, archeology and uses of money to buy the forces of law). As such, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto can't represent living beings, for they are forces that disrupt the very self-contained structure which life depends on; they can't rule a sign that is a part of a normal cycle, either, as they represent abnormality. Chiron is a portal between different dimensions, and conjunctions and harsh aspects to it cause a planet to "bleed" its archetypal nature into your life in an overwhelming fashion (wounded healer). It represents trauma, including collective trauma, and the school experience. Since Saturn represents authority, repression, oppression, hierarchies, weight, burdens, fear, limitation and experiencing life as a bleak thing, the harsh aspects cause people who struggle with learning (they are more impulsive, compulsive, sensory-seeking) and with structures (for structures failed them and traumatized them). Any planet can cause havoc with Chiron, though, and a harsh aspect between Chiron and a trans-Saturnine that is connected with a harsh aspect of either or both to a softer inner planet such as Moon or Mercury causes similarly intense chaotic experiences, as you are constantly brought into this chaos. Ceres in particular, when combined with conjunction to MC, IC, ASC, DSC or conjunction and harsh aspects to the Sun and the Moon, can indicate overbearing parents, and the presence of Chiron in conjunction or harsh aspects to Saturn, or in conjunction/opposition or squares to the same Angles of the chart, can indicate the sort of trauma narcissistic parents cause. But I digress. I hope this inspires you to try to figure out your own personal history and how to best handle its unique path and needs!

[@_Maya_Andrea]

Don’t take going to a mental hospital lightly but if you’re no longer able to take care of yourself then certainly check in. You should look into assigning a power of attorney so that if you ever do enter into a state of psychosis someone other than yourself can get you out of the hospital. Without a power of attorney you may be stuck in the hospital for weeks. Also, being in a psychiatric ward may also cause more stress and trigger you in ways that make your situation worse. Just thought this might be useful.

@@gaynutbuster I think I’m just desensitized for some reason. People often tell me that I never smile. It’s like I always have a poker face or whatever. The truth is I’m not hiding any emotions. They just don’t exist. Honestly man it strips away what makes life worth living. I feel worthless.

Even i am emotionally numb now and looking for treatment but the voice in this video is ❤️. Whoever is the narrator, her voice is so soothing that video feels light. Please narrate more videos.

[@leorichard7955]

if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help...

Often disappointment and pain are linked to Emotional Numbness. A person can be hurt to the point where they no longer feel anything. It's strange yet profound that you've got to allow yourself to feel the pain to be able to feel the pleasures of life. That's what makes us feel alive. The ups and downs, the roller coasters of life...

I'm not disappointed or in pain tho

Feeling of uselessness made me emotionally numb. Shedding tears was easy than a smile. This was not a sudden change but a accumulated effect of life. Now when i self realised something wrong with me begin started to work on myself. Start by visiting new places continuously suprise yourself with something which you have not imagined before. Gain new experiences set your heart ablaze.

The Myth of Normal: Illness and Health in an Insane Culture, will be published in 2021(Dr Gabor Mate). Dr Mate has written a few books. He has some very interesting thoughts on mental illness, trauma and addiction. Just thought I would put this out for anyone that may be interested.

[@burdenedwithgloriouspurpos851]

@@UknownAfrican everybody has a longings inside them, feelings of incompleteness and emptiness- I feel it to. We have longings to be loved, to be wanted, to be seen, to be known, to be understood, to be accepted... The only thing, the only one in the universe that can fill our soul’s deepest desperate longings is God. He came to me in my brokenness and forgave me from all my sins. And He is teaching me that He loves me with an unconditional love and forgives eternally. He has never left me lacking in my time of need. I am continuously learning that I can rely upon Him instead of everything that I turn to ease the emptiness inside- whether it be food, relationships, sexual gratification, or achievements in life, cause these things always leave me wanting more, they never fill me up completely or lastingly. But I have experienced God’s peace and felt His comforting presence. When I choose to turn to God, and pray to Him and share my feelings and struggles, He shows me His promises from the Bible that show me that He is loving, kind, forgiving, faithful and so much more. The fulfillment I receive when I turn to God can’t be rivaled by the temporary pleasure I receive from anything else I turn to. Dear friend, if you are still reading, I encourage you to do as Acts 3:19 says: “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” I don’t know what you believe about God or what may hold you back from turning to Him, or whether maybe you doubt if God even exists. But wherever you stand, I encourage you take a leap of faith and pray to Him. And I want you to know that He is faithful and loving and will forgive every sin if you admit that you have a need for forgiveness. I won’t tell you that entering a relationship with God means that it will all be good feelings and easy times, cause it won’t be. But I truly believe that God will never allow you to go through something that isn’t for your good, and that will cause you to grow. All this suffice to say, God has shown me that He is the answer- the only answer to our deepest longings, and He wants to have the opportunity to show you if you let Him. That ended up being longer than I initially intended, but I meant every word. I’m praying for peace for you who read this

A few days ago I stayed over my friend's house. It was quite peaceful there rather than my home (because it's not soundproof). Actually my friend talk a lot about her difficulties and I didn't talk about my problems much although I know it's important to share what bothers me nowadays (my numbness in emotion) but somehow I can learn a lot by listening to others because I can see a different perspective in life and share my own thoughts to her. It's important to speak to someone to find a way whether it's for ourselves or for others, when I did it opened the door of some light. Other than that, being in somebody's home made me inadvertently change my habits, just doing some chores I didn't care to do before, watching TVs together and laughing. It made me think "Whoa, I think it's because I've been alone all along. Because I don't have anymore people in my home that I feel close to share." To think that finally I found the core of my problems, I felt quite light. I know now, all I need to do right now is to do many activities with someone I feel close to, or at least if I found myself alone again I can do things I never did before.
