Is there something wrong with me?

Question

I'm so emotionally detached lately. I have to cut to feel anything. To even feel alive. Is this normal? How do others deal with this? Am I alone in feeling this way?

Answer

I thought I was the only one! You are not alone, you just have to keep going, one step at a time, and don't blame yourself if you falter, or show weakness. Be strong.

Answer

I deal with the same thing. I've finally found something though that can take my mind off of it.  I suggest you find something as well! If will possibly take some time but that's okay. I found that gardening really helps motivate me to get up everyday and get moving. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sorry you're dealing with this!✨

Answer

Im like this alot especially when depression gets worse but then even pain sensation is blunted.

I try to both accept that this is what my brain is gonna do for a while, and at the same time it usually means having to adjust meds and treatment (idk if you're on that, but it could help if it's depression)

What sometimes helps too in the moment is doing something I know is normally emotionally engaging for me (like listening to a particular song)  and being radically open to the possibility of feeling emotion. I tend to block feelings, even positive ones, if you do too, this xould help. You have to let yourself go. Warning though it can get very overwhelming so have some sort of self soothing plan or a friend to call or something in case that happens.
