Hello been a long time since I've been here.

Since I left my situation I have been so dead emotionally meaning I'm not sure how I'm coping. I have noticed in myself how I am not living life or enjoying myself. I want to go out more often but I stay home which is not me I don't feel excited doing things since all the abuse and lies really took a toll on me.

I wonder if it's due to not being in tune with my emotions? Trauma has drastically changed me. I've always been the type to want to do things something is really holding me back. Any suggestions? I'll be back later at work

You are in touch with your feelings. No worry.

Trauma can change how we feel. Feeling emotionally dead or numb is the mind and body's way of protecting itself.

Do you have a therapist?

Also surround yourself with friends and family who are supportive.

Not right now. I was seeing a 2nd therapist then she went to another clinic. My insurance covers for therapy might depends on how much I might have to pay the office visit. Then again I am not sure if I want to use that part of my insurance as I don't want to stay with my employer anymore
