About 6 months ago, I started to change. I've been dealing with social anxiety for all my life, but it started to slowly dissappear, but that wasn't the only change that happened. As time passed, I started to become less sensible. It started with small things, like not empathising with people, and it eventually lead to a lack of empathy and very shallow emotions. Though this has made it very hard to keep relationships, I've learned how to live with it, and I strictly follow certain rules to avoid harming people that I care about/care about me. Last but not least, the scariest change I'm going through is depersonalization. I have very varied episodes, from feeling that everything is fake to thinking that I'm dead and being scared of finding my own corpse anywhere. They can happen anywhere, but they usually occur at night when I'm alone or if something triggers it (eg. certain types of music). I can cope fairly good with them, but they're still a pain in the ***. I think my brain uses depersonalization and apathy to cope with the anxiety, and though I'm very happy with my life right now as it's not that difficult for me to meet new people or to cope with depersonalization, the episodes are getting worse and I'm scared I'll become even more apathetic and feel nothing. Is there any way I can get my emotions back and 'teach' my brain to cope with anxiety differently? Thank you so much!
