If I want to remember something or someone I have to make a conscious effort to think of them every day. My only way to "cope" is to forget.  |
I know exactly what you mean. I lack emotion and have recently returned to therapy to try to get it back. I can't cry, I don't miss people.........I just block everything out. It's my defense mechanism and when the "fight or flight" was activated in my brain, it never shut off. I continue to block everything out so I don't get hurt. I know it won't last forever but it will take a lot of work to get back to where I was. You'll get there too!
