I always seem to feel numb, and it always stems from extreme negative emotions to the point where I just want to lay down and do nothing. It happens almost everyday. It gives me insecurities and it makes me even more self-critical.
I hate how because of this, I drive myself to isolation, ignoring all those who care about me. I end up hurting them, I fail to reach out to them because I am scared. I'm intimidated.
I wish I could go back to feeling fine. I find it difficult to talk about my problems because the thought of people being too close to me might result in me devastating them in some way.
I just needed to vent out. Advice on how to reach out would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi friend, I don't know if I give the best advice but reading/listening to your story. I feel in small ways I could relate. I often let others down each makes me feel horrible, which causes me to push others away isolating myself. Looking to my own life, I first try to find three things everyday I am thankful for. Doesn't matter how off the wall it sounds. The hotdog that you burnt in the microwave, which makes you laugh at yourself or maybe that's just me lol. the sunsets, clothes on your back etc. I find once you can enjoy these little moments in life, this allows you to share little moments with other people. For example, if you love sunsets, invite if only just one person to be there with you while you watch the sun go down. You don't even have to speak, just take baby steps. It's the little victories in life, or the burnt hotdogs you can laugh at:)
ReplyI honestly don't know what advice I can give you, because I am still waiting for a response on my own post...but I completely understand you. I am emotionally detached from everything I shouldn't be, and I can't talk to anyone because I am scared. I am scared I will hurt those I really want to be close to, if I try getting close to them. I used to be O.K. feeling numb like that too...it was normal and almost comfortable to me, but things have changed in my life that I don't know how to react to and I am stuck too. I'm sorry I can't help...but I want you to know that your not the only one who feels like this because, until I read your post, I thought that I was the only one with this problem.
