Okay, sorry, sorry, I know you are asking a serious question but sometimes it is just hard for me to suppress my humor.

Okay, serious now...

Personally I have never seen "nothing" when I look at myself. There have been periods of time when I was numb and devoid of feeling but honestly I think that was better than the pain I endured.

*TRIGGER*

I do recall in 2000 after I shot and killed my abusive boyfriend wondering what a person looked like after they killed another person and looked at myself a long time in the mirror. It was as though I expected a change in my eyes or something. That was a terrible time in my life.
