Whenever I try to do anything that isn't fast paced or doesn't numb me out; for instance, eating and watching t.v. numbs me out...Whenever I try to do anything that takes remotely any amount of mental energy,
I struggle... I should be studying right now...but, I'm just staring into space...I have a job too...A job doesn't cause me to use up much of my mental energy though...so I can do that...it uses up a lot of my physical energy though... but, I don't know what a mental professional would call this but, I swear there's a definition for what I'm going through...
I feel like there is a lot of emotional/mental energy that is overwhelming and instead of sitting in it and experiencing all of it; Its as if I am sitting it aside in some part of my head, so I can go on with my life and return to it when I'm better equipped to deal with it....
The problem is: I feel I am on like sensory/thought overload, where my feelings and thoughts are overflowing and I don't have anywhere to place all of the uncomfortable feelings anymore...as a result, I'm staring in space and can't figure out how to just function..Does anybody know of a mental health definiton for this? I study psychology for fun and swear, this sounds familiar to me... as hard as it is to explain in words.....many people experience this....
