I hate it, but in some ways it's better than being tossed about by extreme emotions.

After my adult traumas I felt nothing, and I tried to act like I thought someone who'd been through that would act. I was only young -18 so I didn't understand what was happening. It makes me sad /embarrassed to think about it.

I sometimes wonder how much of it (numbness) is related to medication too.

Best, Zel.
It's hard to understand for sure. Maybe that's why we crave so much knowledge about it, trying to understand ourselves. I don't want to be emotionless or appear to others that I'm emotionless. Being numb void of emotions is wasting time, IMHO. We have lost that part of our life and I don't want to waste anymore time. But then I don't know the answer of getting back to some where close to who I was before. Sadly this has become too comfortable I think for most of us. Either we feel safe here or too tired to fight it anymore Take care and thanks for responding back.
