I don’t cry at all anymore....I have all of these symptoms but I’m going through a divorce but this is brutal. I have been preconditioned for this. This marriage did this to me it was a control mechanism that he used. Now I’m trying to find me again
Points mentioned: 1. You've lost interest in things 2. You can't feel pleasure 3. Food doesn't taste as good 4. You don't want anything 5. You're really indecisive 6. You feel guilty all the time 7. You avoid loved ones 8. You feel attacked
I relate to literally all of these except 3 and 8. I still love food, and I blame myself for the way I'm feeling so don't really feel attacked by others. Just lonely and unmotivated.
I cried for the first time in a really long time yesterday night, and it was after reading “what makes you most happy in the whole world” and I couldn’t think of one single thing that I was genuinely happy about, except my cat, and then I just broke down, went out of my bed and laid on the floor next to my cat crying for half an hour. I don’t think anyone can understand how much of a relief it was to finally just let everything go.♡︎
I remember almost crying in over 2 to 3 years over a quiz asking me what my life goal was, honestly crying is such a nice feeling whenever u can't express yourself
And even when you do it just ends a few minutes later because your used to convincing yourself that it doesnt matter because it will all end soon anyway.

Can't sleep either. Even i'm trying to close my eyes. Something that i don't understand. No imaginations after i close my eyes.. It feels like very empty like i feel pain in my head.. And what really scare me what if i'm going to be crazy? My family doesn't know about my conditions. I don't know if anyone feels what my situation is now.. 😭 Please pray for me I really suffer from this since after giving birth 😭😭😭😭
Emotional numbness when you grow up emotionally numb: 1. no idea what to do in the future (no idea what to do in pretty much any situation) 2. no interest in food, friends, talking, expressing emotions, homework, or life in general 3. no interest in health at all 4. paranoia (idk, maybe that's just me)
@@proudally6662 Ye I'm fine. Why more do I need than my typical 0% grades, wierd personality, and wonderful friends? yUp, life's going pretty good rn :)
I had something in mind to get at this to-go restaurant, but then my boyfriend mentioned something else I have liked there. I was then sweating bullets trying to decide if I get what I thought of or the thing he mentioned. Just one example of not being able to make decisions! 😖 It freaks me out!
They just described the food with no taste part...that's why it's so hard for me. Food doesn't do much for me because the taste isn't all tat great. Everything is just "fine" or "good." Didn't expect to see the taste of food on here.
1 ) You 've lost interest in your daily lives . 2)you can't feel pleasure (anhedonia- inability to feel pleasure) 3) Food doesn't taste so good . 4) you don't want anything .Every activity feels like a chore 5) You are indecisive 6) You feel guitly all the time .you even feel guilty for feeling guilty 7) You avoid your loved ones. 8) You feel attacked , criticised everywhere you go TKCR Y 'ALL
and you think about when you felt actual emotions you could have a good time and feel happiness like everyone else is feeling and connect with them on a deeper level
Same,in school i always try to make friends to be percieved as "normal and approachable" by other students but by the time school ends for the day i'm both mentally abd physically exhausted,it has been happening for 3 years now
@@luisbernales6336 Relax...calm down. Its okay to be diffrent. I know how it feels but dont make the mistake in trying to be seen as great. Be great, set a goal and dominate friend. Start now, and remember that if uou have no friends, at least you aint tired so you can live your lifr. Pray to God, hes god ur back
Sometimes it feels like I understand on how others feel but... I tend not to care as I used to be... It feels like all of my emotions weren't even real, and after all these years of abandonment, betrayed, and being shunned by so many people.. Sure I ended up having friends again but... I feel like what really made me get costed to that.. Is losing all of my genuine feelings that I used to had in the past... All gone... And I feel like I only focus on myself more than I do with my family or friends needs.. I have grown to not seem to care about anything like I used to... I only have online friends, and at least two or four friends in person, and everyone in school is just so nice to me but... I feel like everything around me is all fake... Especially my feelings nowadays... And.. I just wish on how to feel again... And wishing to control myself too.. Considering I can only feel anger a lot more than my other emotions... It always made me feel as if I am a shitty person to begin with... And my family being right about me... That I haven't changed over the years of how I am... Like yeah I changed my actions and all but... It's the way on how I act and feel that hasn't changed..
i feel like no one really cares bout me u know, ive lost all my friends and i barely speak to my family anymore, i feel lazy and guilty because i dont do anything but at the same time i just dont care anymore, when someones come to ask if im ok i just froze and dont know what to say because i feel like what im feeling is not valid, i dont cry because i feel like i have no reasons to cry but i want to just let it go so badly, i started doing drugs recently and i fell shitty about it but i cant realy stop anymore, everything feels just fake and i feel like anything will make me happy anymore like i dont have a reason to live
@Lily Lake i don't mean to act like i know you but I've felt the same way ever since my dad died. (not to start a sob story for myself) Only i push all the "friends" away from me a long time ago and have been isolated ever since with only one i talk to on the phone every few weeks It didn't make me feel any less rage But it did help me see things more clear that fake friends should be cut loose and you should be self reliant in the world
I used to be so empathetic and emotionally available, now I just feel useless. I care but at the same time, I just don't. I can't help but feel guilty but at the same time, it all just seems pointless.
I used to have all these 8 signs not so long ago. But gladly, I finally found an amazing person who changed my life. Now I can finally experience things again and feel alive, it took time, but it was worth it. Whoever is going through this, I hope you're doing okay.
Family never understand and if you try to tell them how you feel they just find a way to be angry at you or make it about them. They always blame it on my laziness but laziness is a symptom not the cause.
They dont have to understand, no one really besides you have to understand it. Its a bit harsh and I dont know if it will help but it avoids some frustration.
unknown I’ve been emotionally numb for years already and yes I definitely agree with you. I don’t want to be hurt so I am quite happy with what I have rn but it’s not normal
@@happygal1974 I feel the same. I used to be a gamer, be excited about all the possible games I could play, but now I feel nothing when the Xbox turns on...
I miss crying and being sad all the time. Rather that then to not feel anything at all. I guess I've been depressed for so long that my body can't cope anymore and just shuts down instead.
I like that I don't cry anymore, that emotion annoyed me A LOT, because why should I careif someone makes my life hell, I mean it ain't gonna hurt like they want it to.

I don't even remember what my genuine laugh sounds like. I still "laugh", but it's always a bit forced and never feels natural. So sad to think about. I only get some sort of joy when I'm high, but even then, it's not enough sometimes.
@@gaynutbuster I think I’m just desensitized for some reason. People often tell me that I never smile. It’s like I always have a poker face or whatever. The truth is I’m not hiding any emotions. They just don’t exist. Honestly man it strips away what makes life worth living. I feel worthless.
me: no i’m not emotionally numb also me: avoids best friends and family for no reason even tho it would probably make me feel happy to spend time with them
Same! Although somewhere inside, I do know that I don't feel happy with being them. I have toxic family & friends. Yet, still, I feel much safer when I'm in my home. Idk what's wrong with meh (?)
Naw maybe you’re experiencing the need for some peace and time for yourself currently :) as a producer, this is common, you just take time to reflect and make change and wish for better and then you go from there 💕
It’s nice to know it’s not just me. I don’t understand it either except to say maybe I’m looking for peace. I have a mostly toxic family and 1 good friend left, out of a lot that I thought were my friends. I lost my sister 4 years ago to cancer, she was basically my other half. Since then I haven’t wanted to spend time with anyone or make any new friends. This might sound bad but my dog is my best friend, he’s always been there for me.
I’ve been avoiding my friend for days now and it’s not cause I don’t like her, she’s a really good friend it’s just I tend to ghost people when I’m feeling pressured or stressed and idk why I feel like a bad person
Hi, yes artists block is chronic. I did start to follow some advice recently, he suggested that we draw the same thing for 100 days, I’m nowhere near 100 days in, but, my trees have evolved...(out of sheer boredom probably), things are turning up in the trees...(more boredom, or maybe a little inspiration?)....and I got so sick of trees I started 100 days of something else at the other end of the book. I’ve had lapsed days, trying not to be hard on myself for those, but, other WIP’s are slowly advancing as well. I know, I sound like some kind of success story...lol, it’s 3:15 pm, I’m still in my jammies, and I’ve drawn...and rubbed out the whole of 5 charcoal lines so far today....and today’s tree....well, maybe later. After all....what’s the point? Oh....ART..!
1. you've gotten to that stage where you're asking if you should check into a mental hospital... seriously. don't let it go before its too late. or at least seek counseling if that's not enough ask them about further resources. best of luck xx
Don’t take going to a mental hospital lightly but if you’re no longer able to take care of yourself then certainly check in. You should look into assigning a power of attorney so that if you ever do enter into a state of psychosis someone other than yourself can get you out of the hospital. Without a power of attorney you may be stuck in the hospital for weeks. Also, being in a psychiatric ward may also cause more stress and trigger you in ways that make your situation worse. Just thought this might be useful.
ShxdowAxsthxtics i feel you,,,,watching tv and most activities i used to do for fun is now a thing on my to do list and i do just to feel little less disappointed in myself
I cannot cry, my life is automated. Everyday is the same with no differences, my decisions is the same, i can't control my time, I can't control myself, i want to go beyond this life, want to try new things, want to get out of this "normal" situation, I wanna feel satisfaction, doesn't have motivation. Sometimes I hope there something that is interesting, i want to punch people, i want to make new friends, i want to become a RUclipsr, i want to have a healthy lifestyle, i want to sleep properly, i don't want to seeing figure in the dark because of my brain, i want to learn new things. Sometimes I wanna feel pain. Maybe next time? Or tomorrow? Or next month? Or in the next second? I don't know anymore.
I wouldn't normally proselytize about this, but, I am from the empoverished periphery of Rio de Janeiro and I have been a NEET ever since 2012. I have autism (former "Asperger's", also pathological demand avoidance), ADHD (I used to have many anxiety attacks due to rejection sensitive dysphoria), very mild OCD and cyclothymia (both used to be worse), social anxiety (developed after I got fat), and I am recovering from anxiety, binge eating disorder, maladaptive daydreaming, and atypical light gender dysphoria (I am nonbinary). What helped me was studying more about myself and my own needs. There are tests for your personality that may indicate that. There is the Socionics test (which is more accurate at revealing your Myers-Briggs type than about all free Myers-Briggs tests; add /subtype to the page of your Sociotype at Sociotype dot com), there is Enneagram, there is Attitudinal Psyche, and then there is researching about your Homestuck types (mine are Pipia and Bard of Light). When you are more aware about what kind of person you are (and really, put some time into researching the truth these tests may offer, Google a lot until you are satisfied and you think you figured out what exactly you are, try to look other types if yours does not feel particularly revealing - and Myers-Briggs descriptions need to discuss Jungian cognitive functions such as Ne and Ti), it is time to make an astrological birth chart. Yes. Yes I realize this sounds absurd. But I was an atheist for 10 years (between ages 10 and 20), I knew all of the logical fallacies, I know how to filter obvious fake news and I always denounced pseudoscience. But, when I got deeper and deeper into astrology in order to try to disprove it to my mom and my friends, it ended up revealing its truth. I had to concede and accept that spirituality is real and maybe we live in a simulation. Other atheist friends tricked me into reading Jeffrey Dahmer's chart without knowing it was him, and I guessed his disorders more or less correctly (I saw autism, OCD and borderline - he had schizotypal, OCPD and borderline). What 99.95% of astrologers don't know and 99.9995% of people who believe in astrology don't know is that, 1. most people are not their Sun sign, but a different sign (which helps to explain why some people identify a lot with astrology and others not at all) and 2. the Hellenistic period, Medieval and Renaissance astrologers were right, and Saturn rules Aquarius, Jupiter rules Pisces and Mars rules Scorpio (you can use the new planets and the endless asteroids to try to think of potential problems and alterations to the planets within Saturn's orbit). When making a birth chart at sites like www dot astro dot com (requires login) or www dot astro-seek dot com (does not require login), look up your Ascendant. You need to know your birth time. You are the specific planet ruling the Ascendant. If you are Aries or Scorpio rising, you are your chart's Mars. Mars will indicate your body, and, since Hellenistic Greeks did not believe in mind-body dualism, it will also indicate your mind. The degree of the specific sign in which Mars is found, the aspects it makes to other planets, bodies and axes in the chart, the house it is found at, will talk a lot about who you are (I recommend researching Renaissance Astrology and Skyscript, among other sources, to try to figure out how Mars and the signs impact your body, and trying to look up relationship between parts of your body that may be compromised by a hurt Mars hurting a specific sign, and the mental problems it may be associated with - I do this for my friends all the time, and I often figure out signs of depression, psychosis, C-PTSD and autism; of course, I am not a therapist so I can't officially diagnose a thing, but I recommend them their own course of action and who and what to try to seek more expert help with). If you are Libra or Taurus rising, you are your chart's Venus. If you are Virgo or Gemini rising, you are your chart's Mercury. If you are Pisces or Sagittarius rising, you are your chart's Jupiter. If you are Aquarius or Capricorn rising, you are your chart's Saturn. If you are Leo rising, you are your chart's Sun, and if you are Cancer rising, you are your chart's Moon. Rising here is synonymous with Ascendant.
Once you figure out the degree of the RULER of the Ascendant (say, you have 11° Libra Mars, and 27° Scorpio rising - this makes you 11° Libra, or Libra 12 in a lot of these oracles), you should look these up (as well as other degrees that relate to your general planets and asteroids if you are curious): sabiansymbols.com/symbol-lookup/ www.jamesburgess.com/sabian-symbols.html www.mindfire.ca/An%20Astrological%20Mandala/An%20Astrological%20Mandala%20-%20Contents.htm www.astrotheme.com/the_360_symbolic_degrees.php www.cornerstone-astrology.com/kozminsky_symbols.php john-sandbach.blogspot.com/2010/02/94-omegachandra-symbols-aries-1-5.html These will take you on a journey about the nature of the Zodiac as a closed circle representing the cycle of life, which will allow you to get a deeper awareness of what it is all about. If you feel quite lost, I recommend these two introductions: www.astro.com/astrology/in_intro_e.htm johnsandbach.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Manual_of_Astrology_by_John-_Sandbach.pdf Here are some other astrology links that I consider interesting in your journey if you take it: straightwoo.com/2016/05/30/asteroids-pain-loss-abuse/ www.astrologyinstitute.com/articleprofile/articles/2016/liberating-uranus-and-aquarius-from-each-other www.astrologyinstitute.com/articleprofile/articles/2015/untangling-astrologys-symbols-part3 astrologyking.com/fixed-stars/ iordanus.com/2ndhouse/ www.sevenstarsastrology.com/twelve-easy-lessons-6-houses/ astrofix.net/ medium.com/@vedicsiddhanta/8th-house-house-of-transformation-death-mundane-obstacles-and-new-beginning-a-spiritual-9b69a28fa66c Important: in the Placidus housing system, a planet exactly 4°0'0" before a cusp of the next house or less than that is already counted as being in that house. Once you learn to consider this, there is no way that Placidus won't be the most attractive housing system for you.
Once you are better at figuring out how those archetypes relate to the structure of your life and of your mind, I recommend reading authors like Freud, Jung, Winnicott, Reich and Skinner. Remember, I am not a professional and I am not qualified to talk about this subject, but I have noticed a few patterns. You might be wondering why would I confuse disorders such as autism, ADHD and psychotic spectrum disorders at times. These often look very similar in astrology because they are related to Neptune, Lord of Entropy, causing a mess in your gut-immunity-brain axis, which can often be seen as afflictions to Moon or Mercury; afflictions of Neptune to the Sun, which represents the physical structure of the brain, tend to indicate a psychotic spectrum disorder, but you need to pay attention to other signs, such as Chiron opposite, square or conjunct Saturn, indicating low boundaries of the mind, often seen in the charts of people who have dissociative disorders, C-PTSD, borderline, substance abuse issues, gender dysphoria, chronic pain and chronic fatigue. Neptune is more tied to substance abuse per se - when making conjunction or harsh aspects to Saturn, particularly. You will often notice people who have Moon or Mercury conjunct, square or opposite Uranus, Neptune and Pluto often display signs of autism, ADHD and similar conditions such as learning and speech disorders. These planets are disruptors to the cycle of life, which ends at Saturn, the planet representing spacetime/material reality, hierarchy, boundaries, skin, hair, nails, teeth, bones, structure, cold, slowness, karma (here defined as "the tendency of things to continue in the path where they were already originally projected to be"), fear, lack or excess, social constructs, marriage, law, science, houses, civilization, oppression and death. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are "spiritual dimensions" that interfere with the order of things. Uranus interrupts things abruptly like a ray strike or a sudden combustion, it stimulates accelerationism, ivory towers, revolutions, inventions and odd or erratic behavior (if Saturn and the things it houses is a mountain, Uranus parts it in half), Neptune causes entropy through alienation, erosion, cults, escapism, artificiality, brainwashing, belief in utopias, confusion, propaganda, overwhelm, leakage, melting, rotting, fossil fuels/global warming (carbon once lost to the bowels of the Earth returning due to entropy and causing positive feedback loops of energy and release), parasitism, infections, all sorts of immunity problems and people and things just parting away, spreading themselves too thin over space and time (if Saturn is a mountain, Neptune is its erosion, mixing with the rests of other mountains and ultimately bringing it down to sealevel where there is nothing prominent or characteristic anymore), and Pluto is what happens when the entropy of Neptune has given rise to a parallel "underworld" structure unseen by the rest of the system metamorphosing and metastasizing into a myriad of unexpected things (if Uranus is just an odd rich person with no concern for society doing what they pelase and Neptune is opportunistic criminality, Pluto is a crime syndicate; Pluto is mutiny, cancer, nuclear energy and accidents, DNA mutations, viral hijacking of cells, extinction whether accidental or intentional, ideologies that call for the abuse of entire groups of people or living beings, panic, secrecy, mutedness, spying, archeology and uses of money to buy the forces of law). As such, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto can't represent living beings, for they are forces that disrupt the very self-contained structure which life depends on; they can't rule a sign that is a part of a normal cycle, either, as they represent abnormality. Chiron is a portal between different dimensions, and conjunctions and harsh aspects to it cause a planet to "bleed" its archetypal nature into your life in an overwhelming fashion (wounded healer). It represents trauma, including collective trauma, and the school experience. Since Saturn represents authority, repression, oppression, hierarchies, weight, burdens, fear, limitation and experiencing life as a bleak thing, the harsh aspects cause people who struggle with learning (they are more impulsive, compulsive, sensory-seeking) and with structures (for structures failed them and traumatized them). Any planet can cause havoc with Chiron, though, and a harsh aspect between Chiron and a trans-Saturnine that is connected with a harsh aspect of either or both to a softer inner planet such as Moon or Mercury causes similarly intense chaotic experiences, as you are constantly brought into this chaos. Ceres in particular, when combined with conjunction to MC, IC, ASC, DSC or conjunction and harsh aspects to the Sun and the Moon, can indicate overbearing parents, and the presence of Chiron in conjunction or harsh aspects to Saturn, or in conjunction/opposition or squares to the same Angles of the chart, can indicate the sort of trauma narcissistic parents cause. But I digress. I hope this inspires you to try to figure out your own personal history and how to best handle its unique path and needs!
dude fml once my mom asked me if i wanted to eat lunch and i said : "umm idk whatever u want" (cs i say it basically all the time) and she was like what??? i cant even make a normal decision 😞
Well do you know we are all actually not emotionally numb, were just overwhelmed by emotions our mind just choose to stop responding to it. If people are really emotionally numb that means people won't be capable of having breakdowns nor explode like a bomb, woosh me all you want but that's just the truth.
@@ivann9924 no no i wont whoosh you or anything i fully agree with what you said!! i cant speak for everyone but for me i just like to believe that im numb to anything that people say because i dont want to be hurt, but then it becomes kinda like a habit and it sucks really, I'd rather just cry than not giving a shit 😅
This video just made me realize how horribly suicidal and depressed I am. And just made all my guilts get a lot worse about my emotional state and personal mental health. Im going to do regrettable things now. Thank you.
@@remz8481 i think is wiser to post the link of this video on whatsapp/instagram stories or in some group where she is too. Maybe with a description: "I think it could help some". praying someone to stay with you is not wise. She can understand, but it's difficult she will come back to you. It's hard but: you have already passsed through 100% of your worst day. You can face this to ✌️
Please talk to some one my dear...im not saying you would but lately in my country alot of people been committing suicide...depression is a,silent killer Not only that but the feelings they bring can become a heavy load to carry by yourself Seek out someone who will have compassion so it will make it a lil easier for you to express your feelings❤
Same with me but the only thing I do is I try to act like I'm fine & I'm not depressed I try to fight it off but the whole time above my head is a gloomy cloud that will never go away because of my toxic mind & i know I'm going to get over this I have faith this is only to make me stronger & your not alone I'm here with you . Every one of us is going to get through this 💓
At this point, I have given up on school and trying to relate to other people. The idea of just dropping out and moving to the country on my own to escape society sure looks really sexy right now
Of all your videos so far, this is probably the one I relate to the most. I have a bit of positive mindset, but I feel relatively numb. Feels like I'm just a car set on neutral or autopilot.

Thanks. I don't think I was experiencing what they described, but my emotions did start feeling weaker a month ago. Like, I didn't feel strongly sad or happy or anything.
In short, we reach the point where we are ready to give up on everything. We feel too much till we can no longer feel and become disconnected from everything, including ourselves.
It's a self sabotage, , I know I feel that way too. It's like we dont actually allow ourselves to be happy, to stay in this mode -and no matter in which state we are, we are trying to get out of it . It's annoying and crazy trap, but its curable and its temporary, even of its "always" been this way.
NataMessi thank you, I’m trying to get out of it, I purposely don’t go places I will have fun at so I do not feel that way. I hope you and everyone else are okay and get better.

i had covid and everything tasted bland no flavor but after like a week everything had a bad taste and smell but it recovered like 2 weeks later back to normal
Often disappointment and pain are linked to Emotional Numbness. A person can be hurt to the point where they no longer feel anything. It's strange yet profound that you've got to allow yourself to feel the pain to be able to feel the pleasures of life. That's what makes us feel alive. The ups and downs, the roller coasters of life...

@@midnightsss_1989 I got a therapist about 5 weeks ago and it has helped a little bit. And oddly, things have slightly fell into place on their own. I had 3 people reach out to me who I hadn't talked to in years. One person who I hadn't seen in 6 or 7 years since gradeschool. Another who I played football with in highschool I haven't seen in 3. And another yet again I hadn't seen since gradeschool. And what's nuts to me is i reconnected with them all through what is to me very unlikely means- politics. And now they all want to go get beers soon. It's just strange to me the major coincidence of that. I still feel very bad most times but I'm starting to get help and it feels good to finally have a way out of the quick sand trap
@@aidand.7911 I am happy that your life is slowly getting in order. May your life the happiest life you ever dreamt of😊. And don't worry you will get over it fully.
Same, I know their trying now but its still hard to love them ya know I care for them and my whole family but love doesn't really feel really its just a word tossed around to " mend" everything. I hate how my family treats me and that I don't/ didn't stand up for myself and if I do /did it doesn't matter and I'll still be a push over again.I can't tell my parents anything or else I'll just get guilted for wanting to die, giving attitude when I'm mad or don't feel or see it that way.I didn't what help and thought I'd be crazy for wanting it. But when a recent family event happened I couldn't take it anymore and wanted it but I'm supposed to have answers to questions that I don't know how to feel about or can't explain to my parents too? But have to know it all and just talk to my parents??? They said if I wanted antidepressants I'd have to know the risks and could get hurt taking them but I just didn't want to feel suffocated in darkness and bad thoughts I don't wanna feel anything and get bad thoughts a few times a day to do something.I know better than to listen to those thoughts but still I just want out, to not feel useless to not feel so suffocated to feel wanted and noticed.I feel like I have to lie half the time and to fake being happy and think that it would've been better not to start caring about anyone ... Idk I feel so mad most days and can't stand to see my family at times, I want space and to get out but feel like I can't.Idk I'm just hoping if I stick out a while longer,till everything works out I can finally breathe and leave for a bit to clear my head some.
"Who to contact to express yourself" This is the weirdest statement. The problem is that I can't express myself, because there's nothing to express. Everything is inarticulate.
Yeah u actually put this really perfectly. I've found that keeping a journal and just trying to put words to my thoughts n feelings, has helped a lot. It'll help u by making you find words to describe ur feelings n thoughts. You might not do a good job articulating ur actual thought or feeling at first but it honestly just takes practice. Hence the journal!
I was feeling the same way. I was just so lost and couldn't express myself at all but I have actually found some REAL friends who've been listening to my thoughts(and since I'm an overthinker, they are a lot..let me tell you that) and have helped me a lot. At first, I was just ashamed to talk about anything concerning myself and I didn't even want to open up about anything(and I actually thought that that was part of my personality when it really wasn't) but then I realised it has helped me so much and I feel better
Right now when I'm watching this video, I feel absolutely nothing. I have no idea what I feel and I sure in heck don't want to get out of bed, I don't even want to listen to music. I feel like nothing but putting on a fake smile thatll make me exhausted
The same thing with music, it fucking sucks, I make music and it helps me get through my days, but I just feel detached, only helps me to listen to the words to fall asleep, Michael Jackson singing Ben as an adult is my favorite to fall asleep, good luck ❤️
Sometimes the pain and overwhelm is too much to bear, and people start to become emotionally numb. Internal suffering can be debilitating. We need to take our mental health seriously, because how we are feeling shapes our perception of our reality and depression often follows numbness. Sending out so much love ♥️
I felt all of these (plus sadness sometimes) and went to a psychologist. They told me I felt many emotions because I had nothing to do and was alone with my many many thoughts. You helped me adentify the symptoms and get help. Thank you! YOU ARE POGGERS!!
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
The Myth of Normal: Illness and Health in an Insane Culture, will be published in 2021(Dr Gabor Mate). Dr Mate has written a few books. He has some very interesting thoughts on mental illness, trauma and addiction. Just thought I would put this out for anyone that may be interested.
@@Hassonn88 everybody has a longings inside them, feelings of incompleteness and emptiness- I feel it to. We have longings to be loved, to be wanted, to be seen, to be known, to be understood, to be accepted... The only thing, the only one in the universe that can fill our soul’s deepest desperate longings is God. He came to me in my brokenness and forgave me from all my sins. And He is teaching me that He loves me with an unconditional love and forgives eternally. He has never left me lacking in my time of need. I am continuously learning that I can rely upon Him instead of everything that I turn to ease the emptiness inside- whether it be food, relationships, sexual gratification, or achievements in life, cause these things always leave me wanting more, they never fill me up completely or lastingly. But I have experienced God’s peace and felt His comforting presence. When I choose to turn to God, and pray to Him and share my feelings and struggles, He shows me His promises from the Bible that show me that He is loving, kind, forgiving, faithful and so much more. The fulfillment I receive when I turn to God can’t be rivaled by the temporary pleasure I receive from anything else I turn to. Dear friend, if you are still reading, I encourage you to do as Acts 3:19 says: “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” I don’t know what you believe about God or what may hold you back from turning to Him, or whether maybe you doubt if God even exists. But wherever you stand, I encourage you take a leap of faith and pray to Him. And I want you to know that He is faithful and loving and will forgive every sin if you admit that you have a need for forgiveness. I won’t tell you that entering a relationship with God means that it will all be good feelings and easy times, cause it won’t be. But I truly believe that God will never allow you to go through something that isn’t for your good, and that will cause you to grow. All this suffice to say, God has shown me that He is the answer- the only answer to our deepest longings, and He wants to have the opportunity to show you if you let Him. That ended up being longer than I initially intended, but I meant every word. I’m praying for peace for you who read this
My mom works as a therapist and she makes the cost cheap so that people can afford it cuz I needed one and we couldn’t, but after making is cheap ppl don’t come cuz they think she is ~ inexperienced ~but she literally read every book and every session that’s why it’s expensive so you know it’s worthy :))
It’s been so many years and I still feel the same. I’ve done many things to try heal but haven’t changed. Lost both my only siblings and a good friend now I’m about to lose my dog. I’ve only cried like twice within the span of 7 years. I feel so numb and I’m jealous everyone else in my family is so emotional and expresses themselves with ease while I’m just sitting here already dead. I have already died. My personality is gone and I can’t enjoy anything anymore, I’m constantly disassociated and can’t look people in the eyes. Nothing feels real and I don’t recognize myself in the mirror. This is hell and not worth living
Claire Vandersee last time I cried I was kinda forcing myself a little because my mom was crying and didn’t want to seem heartless and then just continued because I related it to all my problems. Hehe 🙃
My antidepressants filter out everything but loneliness, and I gotta say, still prefer that over everything but anger. I hate being angry, it's the worst :(
I've been numb for 4 years now. Now I look back and I can see that I used to pick pointless fights with my family probably just in order to feel something alive inside me, like the rage during an argument and the deep regret I felt afterwards.
I'm only 14 and I'm numb. But I take things differently... I'm not normal, I'm better than normal. I'm more disciplined, more accurate, and alert, and careful. But... I haven't had many friends, or any girfriends. I got in a bad group, was being more serious, (Lack of facial expressions, less emotions, a little paranoid, ect.) And eventually got in trouble. Momma was yelling at me and stuff, but I didn't cry or anything, I was just as I was. As always. But I'm not bad or anything, I don't need meds, no nothing. I just use it to my advantage. To be stronger, apparently, this made me better than normal.
I’m the type of person who bottles up feelings and hides them away pretending to be happy but it’s reached a point that I can’t feel emotion around people and lately my emotions have began to explode and show in front of people, all the sudden release has made me feel more numb than ever
Daaayum sun you gotta get in touch with the little kid version of you that’s living in that black hole and say, “I’m gonna get you out of this mess.” Cook healthy, clean up, sleep on time, do the right self care things and over time you’ll feel better.
quarantine changed me alot honestly. Ive lost a lot of my happines, distant to the people i love, mixed up emotions. It just makes me sad that throughout these 10 months, it changed me completely. I'd never get to see my joyous and happy side again. I dont even know if i recognize myself, to who i am now. Ive always been cheerful, happy, and adventurous. Now, its the exact opposite, i dont know if im sad or not, because my family tells me im just overreacting. I feel anxious and scared when im around people even to those im close to. Ive become more of a introvert person and scared to face reality. Im more insecure as the time pass, and overthink a lot. I use my idealism and make scenarios in my head to make me feel better. Its hard because no one hardly understands me. I feel like im in agony and despair. ive used all my time on social media and skip alot of my activities. I procrastinate more than i used to, ive been careless, and ignored everyone because i thought that would solve my problems. But no, it became more harder than i thought. I had this idea in my mind that, if i became more distant id make more time for myself, but it only gave me, anxiety and stress. Hello, it’s January 2022 now. I wrote that comment for nearly 2 years now, which was 2021. I’ve come across numerous things. I’ve realised and acknowledged many things along the way, and I grew as a person. Still, my mental health has worsened, and I’ve been feeling so numb. I can’t figure out what I’m feeling and I don’t know what to feel. I’ve met hundreds of people, and they were able to make me grow as a person. Though now I’ve grown distant to them. My memory has been awfully bad, I keep forgetting our discussions at school, and everything has been overwhelming me. I have tried committing sc for God knows how many times. I’ve been feeling depersonalisation, sleep paralysis, constant anxiety attacks, insomnia, and just feeling so weak. I feel like I’ve given up on my dreams completely, and I’ll have nowhere to go in life in the future. I hope that everyone who’s feeling this way will get eventually better and get the help they need. I don’t know to whom I should reach out to. Please take great care of yourselves, it’ll get better.
@@anuskamukherjee7887 I wish i can talk to you and comfort you that its gonna be fine. We all face different hardships in life, and its definitely not something easy to cope with. We react differently when facing our circumstamces. But hopefully, it will get better soon, i am sure that when time passes we'll get better and especially you. Please keep on moving because time will go on, and everything changes without even our notice. Hope you're okay, im here for you
@@anuskamukherjee7887 oh my good luck!! I'm sorry for replying late. I don't use RUclips that often, but I do it when I have something necessary to watch or when I'm bored. But it'll get better soon I promise! everything heals within time, and dont think of it much because it will only scare you. Good luck on your exam. I hope I could help you but I also have an exam this coming weekdays. Do great and don't forget to study, it'll help alot so you won't have to do any research on the meantime.
@@ashleythatsme6900 same...nothing...u know what? I have mastered how to be fake happy...sometimes even I trick myself...but when sometimes I just go from being all happy to sad...I know it that it's fake...i know I am not happy...I am lying to everyone even myself...I don't even know what emotions I feel anymore...there are alot of people to talk to but I don't think they will listen...cuz my problems are small and there are people out there who have bigger problems than me...this is what they told me
For those who don't have time or are rushing 1. You've lost interest 2. You can't feel pleasure 3. Food doesn't taste as good 4. You don't want anything 5. You're really indecisive 6. You feel guilty all the time 7. You avoid your loved ones 8. You feel attacked
most of the time i just feel anger, frustration or sadness...i used to say that my emotions are switched off and i don't know how to switch it on. I used to care about everything and everyone and now i just don't care...i concluded that i m being selfish but still have no intention of improving. I guess this explains why i m feeling like this
Hey beautiful human! 😇 Firstly I am so very sorry that you are going through this. You don't deserve to feel like this. No one deserves this. It's okay to take a break, your feelings are heard, they are valid it's so real what you are feeling, you are not pretending. Definately not. Lastly I want you to hold on just a little bit longer only for a little while. The storm passes away... trust me IT ALWAYS DOES.
I also resonate this to this song.. love and miss Chester so much.. that song is like an anthem for me. Stay strong, it is temporarily. Like everything!
I've felt like this for years now, but ever since I lost my mom in February in one of the most horrific ways possible by the hands of someone out there who still walks the streets, it's progressively gotten worse. I don't know what to do anymore, this feeling gets worse by the day
I'm sorry for you I hope things get better for you but I cant trust my family friends their not even my friends I want to isolate myself dont do what I did try to talk to someone about it
i dont know if i have the right to complain but i feel like ive had the same routine for the past year, im not sure if i got over it but when it was at its worst i couldnt find anyway out of it and it felt like exactly my type of hell. Nothing was interesting. No one made me laugh like they used to. And i have no idea how it happend it just sparked out of nowhere
With so much going on around the world at the moment, what are you currently emotionally numb about? Comment below.
Yes
Look I replied twice
Ik i dont have it
Nvm i do and 1st one and 3rd one are related to me
Basically my whole life
I constantly feel like crying but tears never come out
I hate to admit this but drugs and alcohol are the only way I feel most things anymore.
I don’t cry at all anymore....I have all of these symptoms but I’m going through a divorce but this is brutal. I have been preconditioned for this. This marriage did this to me it was a control mechanism that he used. Now I’m trying to find me again
Omg same
I don't want to cry, but my tears won't stop falling out.
Same condition
Dude at this point RUclips is trying to tell me something
That I need to stop it and get some help

For 1 week I feel like I m stressed I have anxiety
But right now I feel like nothing
I don't have any emotions anymore
I relate to literally all of these except 3 and 8. I still love food, and I blame myself for the way I'm feeling so don't really feel attacked by others. Just lonely and unmotivated.
6,7,and 8 is not the thing i have i just dont give a f about anything sometime and got bored realy fast
I was calling it being dead inside but this works too I guess.
Same 😆
Well...I would call that spiritual awakening. .but this works too I guess..
Yes because you feel lile dead in this moment, when this feelings are coming. But in real, it is depression and numbness and emptyness.
Same
that's right
Sometimes I feel emotionally numb but other times I feel TOO emotional. My emotions need to make up their mind
This right here is a big fat mood and I don't think that's a good thing- 👁️👄👁️
I feel you 😞
Relatable 😢
Yea feel the same way.
Yeah, me too
I'm so numb I don't care about consequences but feel the anxiety of time passing and neglecting my responsibilities
Omg so true ! That's it !
I feel exactly the same...
I feel the same way as well.
You put it in words.
mood
I cried for the first time in a really long time yesterday night, and it was after reading “what makes you most happy in the whole world” and I couldn’t think of one single thing that I was genuinely happy about, except my cat, and then I just broke down, went out of my bed and laid on the floor next to my cat crying for half an hour.
I don’t think anyone can understand how much of a relief it was to finally just let everything go.♡︎
i would love to read it ^^
is that a book?
Yeah I realize that my cat is my best friend and that makes me realize how pathetic my life is.
If only i could cry. You know it's bad when your hoping to cry.
I remember almost crying in over 2 to 3 years over a quiz asking me what my life goal was, honestly crying is such a nice feeling whenever u can't express yourself
I hate the feeling when u want to cry so bad but the tears never come out
That’s true I’m trying it’s not working
felt the same way when a loved one passed away, u feel sad but you cant cry
So true
This is true :(
And even when you do it just ends a few minutes later because your used to convincing yourself that it doesnt matter because it will all end soon anyway.
I dont like how comforting her voice is
It makes my loneliness more painful
I know right. It's kinda...I dunno, awkward. I think.
Yeah man I agree it makes me feel depressed more
It makes my arms weak and makes me feel worse
true
Gives me comfort I don’t get anywhere else
1. You've lost interest
2. You can't feel pleasure
3. Food doesn't taste as good
4. You don't want anything

I have all of these. Literally all of these
I attacked w i leave my room every one on my case with online school
All those describe me now
Can't sleep either. Even i'm trying to close my eyes. Something that i don't understand. No imaginations after i close my eyes.. It feels like very empty like i feel pain in my head.. And what really scare me what if i'm going to be crazy? My family doesn't know about my conditions. I don't know if anyone feels what my situation is now.. 😭 Please pray for me I really suffer from this since after giving birth 😭😭😭😭
Emotional numbness when you grow up emotionally numb:
1. no idea what to do in the future (no idea what to do in pretty much any situation)
2. no interest in food, friends, talking, expressing emotions, homework, or life in general
3. no interest in health at all
4. paranoia (idk, maybe that's just me)

cut to me, trying to decide whether I’m indecisive
Lol
Mood 😔✌
i’m so indecisive you can’t cuff me but i’m wifey
I had something in mind to get at this to-go restaurant, but then my boyfriend mentioned something else I have liked there. I was then sweating bullets trying to decide if I get what I thought of or the thing he mentioned. Just one example of not being able to make decisions! 😖 It freaks me out!
They just described the food with no taste part...that's why it's so hard for me. Food doesn't do much for me because the taste isn't all tat great. Everything is just "fine" or "good." Didn't expect to see the taste of food on here.
1 ) You 've lost interest in your daily lives .
2)you can't feel pleasure (anhedonia- inability to feel pleasure)
3) Food doesn't taste so good .
4) you don't want anything .Every activity feels like a chore
5) You are indecisive
6) You feel guitly all the time .you even feel guilty for feeling guilty
7) You avoid your loved ones.
8) You feel attacked , criticised everywhere you go

[9.] You feel that any list greater than 8 is a plot to send you to the 9th layer of Hell.
Welp.......
I find it physically exhausting when I hang out with people because I feel like I have to make myself have a good time
and you think about when you felt actual emotions you could have a good time and feel happiness like everyone else is feeling and connect with them on a deeper level
Same,in school i always try to make friends to be percieved as "normal and approachable" by other students but by the time school ends for the day i'm both mentally abd physically exhausted,it has been happening for 3 years now
@@luisbernales6336 Relax...calm down. Its okay to be diffrent. I know how it feels but dont make the mistake in trying to be seen as great. Be great, set a goal and dominate friend. Start now, and remember that if uou have no friends, at least you aint tired so you can live your lifr. Pray to God, hes god ur back
I literally avoid people because of this, I hate even setting foot outside my house because of this
This is so true
Sometimes it feels like I understand on how others feel but... I tend not to care as I used to be... It feels like all of my emotions weren't even real, and after all these years of abandonment, betrayed, and being shunned by so many people.. Sure I ended up having friends again but... I feel like what really made me get costed to that.. Is losing all of my genuine feelings that I used to had in the past... All gone... And I feel like I only focus on myself more than I do with my family or friends needs.. I have grown to not seem to care about anything like I used to... I only have online friends, and at least two or four friends in person, and everyone in school is just so nice to me but... I feel like everything around me is all fake... Especially my feelings nowadays... And.. I just wish on how to feel again... And wishing to control myself too.. Considering I can only feel anger a lot more than my other emotions... It always made me feel as if I am a shitty person to begin with... And my family being right about me... That I haven't changed over the years of how I am... Like yeah I changed my actions and all but... It's the way on how I act and feel that hasn't changed..
i feel like no one really cares bout me u know, ive lost all my friends and i barely speak to my family anymore, i feel lazy and guilty because i dont do anything but at the same time i just dont care anymore, when someones come to ask if im ok i just froze and dont know what to say because i feel like what im feeling is not valid, i dont cry because i feel like i have no reasons to cry but i want to just let it go so badly, i started doing drugs recently and i fell shitty about it but i cant realy stop anymore, everything feels just fake and i feel like anything will make me happy anymore like i dont have a reason to live
@@analycanabarro9660 I'm so sorry to hear that man.. That's how I feel somewhat..
@Lily Lake i don't mean to act like i know you but I've felt the same way ever since my dad died. (not to start a sob story for myself)
Only i push all the "friends" away from me a long time ago and have been isolated ever since with only one i talk to on the phone every few weeks
It didn't make me feel any less rage
But it did help me see things more clear that fake friends should be cut loose and you should be self reliant in the world

do you have any tips? (nice aiko pfp btw)
Me: tells my Family about my emotional numbness
My family: *"that's Because you're always on your phone"*
Family never understand and if you try to tell them how you feel they just find a way to be angry at you or make it about them. They always blame it on my laziness but laziness is a symptom not the cause.

I’ve been avoiding my friend for days now and it’s not cause I don’t like her, she’s a really good friend it’s just I tend to ghost people when I’m feeling pressured or stressed and idk why I feel like a bad person
"I'm so numb, I forgot what feeling feels like"
same here...

Same.
I can't even feel pain anymore
I didn't know this was a common issue among youtube users, there is a connection here...
I got diagnosed with depression after showing up with these symptoms to a therapist. My therapy has helped me to feel and live life again!
"Are you constantly unmotivated?"
Uh... yes. Especially with art.
artblock man
Too many super good artists so I feel redundant and not good enough.
Same man keep pushing
Hi, yes artists block is chronic. I did start to follow some advice recently, he suggested that we draw the same thing for 100 days, I’m nowhere near 100 days in, but, my trees have evolved...(out of sheer boredom probably), things are turning up in the trees...(more boredom, or maybe a little inspiration?)....and I got so sick of trees I started 100 days of something else at the other end of the book. I’ve had lapsed days, trying not to be hard on myself for those, but, other WIP’s are slowly advancing as well. I know, I sound like some kind of success story...lol, it’s 3:15 pm, I’m still in my jammies, and I’ve drawn...and rubbed out the whole of 5 charcoal lines so far today....and today’s tree....well, maybe later. After all....what’s the point? Oh....ART..!
Who asked
Can we get a “8 signs that you should check into a mental hospital” asking for a friend.
1. You're a risk to yourself or others
2. Delusions
3. If you can't control your disorder on your own
oh.
1. you've gotten to that stage where you're asking if you should check into a mental hospital... seriously. don't let it go before its too late. or at least seek counseling if that's not enough ask them about further resources. best of luck xx
Don’t take going to a mental hospital lightly but if you’re no longer able to take care of yourself then certainly check in. You should look into assigning a power of attorney so that if you ever do enter into a state of psychosis someone other than yourself can get you out of the hospital. Without a power of attorney you may be stuck in the hospital for weeks. Also, being in a psychiatric ward may also cause more stress and trigger you in ways that make your situation worse. Just thought this might be useful.

ShxdowAxsthxtics i feel you,,,,watching tv and most activities i used to do for fun is now a thing on my to do list and i do just to feel little less disappointed in myself
I cannot cry, my life is automated. Everyday is the same with no differences, my decisions is the same, i can't control my time, I can't control myself, i want to go beyond this life, want to try new things, want to get out of this "normal" situation, I wanna feel satisfaction, doesn't have motivation. Sometimes I hope there something that is interesting, i want to punch people, i want to make new friends, i want to become a RUclipsr, i want to have a healthy lifestyle, i want to sleep properly, i don't want to seeing figure in the dark because of my brain, i want to learn new things. Sometimes I wanna feel pain. Maybe next time? Or tomorrow? Or next month? Or in the next second? I don't know anymore.

I wouldn't normally proselytize about this, but, I am from the empoverished periphery of Rio de Janeiro and I have been a NEET ever since 2012. I have autism (former "Asperger's", also pathological demand avoidance), ADHD (I used to have many anxiety attacks due to rejection sensitive dysphoria), very mild OCD and cyclothymia (both used to be worse), social anxiety (developed after I got fat), and I am recovering from anxiety, binge eating disorder, maladaptive daydreaming, and atypical light gender dysphoria (I am nonbinary). What helped me was studying more about myself and my own needs.
There are tests for your personality that may indicate that. There is the Socionics test (which is more accurate at revealing your Myers-Briggs type than about all free Myers-Briggs tests; add /subtype to the page of your Sociotype at Sociotype dot com), there is Enneagram, there is Attitudinal Psyche, and then there is researching about your Homestuck types (mine are Pipia and Bard of Light).
When you are more aware about what kind of person you are (and really, put some time into researching the truth these tests may offer, Google a lot until you are satisfied and you think you figured out what exactly you are, try to look other types if yours does not feel particularly revealing - and Myers-Briggs descriptions need to discuss Jungian cognitive functions such as Ne and Ti), it is time to make an astrological birth chart. Yes. Yes I realize this sounds absurd. But I was an atheist for 10 years (between ages 10 and 20), I knew all of the logical fallacies, I know how to filter obvious fake news and I always denounced pseudoscience. But, when I got deeper and deeper into astrology in order to try to disprove it to my mom and my friends, it ended up revealing its truth. I had to concede and accept that spirituality is real and maybe we live in a simulation. Other atheist friends tricked me into reading Jeffrey Dahmer's chart without knowing it was him, and I guessed his disorders more or less correctly (I saw autism, OCD and borderline - he had schizotypal, OCPD and borderline).
What 99.95% of astrologers don't know and 99.9995% of people who believe in astrology don't know is that, 1. most people are not their Sun sign, but a different sign (which helps to explain why some people identify a lot with astrology and others not at all) and 2. the Hellenistic period, Medieval and Renaissance astrologers were right, and Saturn rules Aquarius, Jupiter rules Pisces and Mars rules Scorpio (you can use the new planets and the endless asteroids to try to think of potential problems and alterations to the planets within Saturn's orbit). When making a birth chart at sites like www dot astro dot com (requires login) or www dot astro-seek dot com (does not require login), look up your Ascendant. You need to know your birth time. You are the specific planet ruling the Ascendant.
If you are Aries or Scorpio rising, you are your chart's Mars. Mars will indicate your body, and, since Hellenistic Greeks did not believe in mind-body dualism, it will also indicate your mind. The degree of the specific sign in which Mars is found, the aspects it makes to other planets, bodies and axes in the chart, the house it is found at, will talk a lot about who you are (I recommend researching Renaissance Astrology and Skyscript, among other sources, to try to figure out how Mars and the signs impact your body, and trying to look up relationship between parts of your body that may be compromised by a hurt Mars hurting a specific sign, and the mental problems it may be associated with - I do this for my friends all the time, and I often figure out signs of depression, psychosis, C-PTSD and autism; of course, I am not a therapist so I can't officially diagnose a thing, but I recommend them their own course of action and who and what to try to seek more expert help with). If you are Libra or Taurus rising, you are your chart's Venus. If you are Virgo or Gemini rising, you are your chart's Mercury. If you are Pisces or Sagittarius rising, you are your chart's Jupiter. If you are Aquarius or Capricorn rising, you are your chart's Saturn. If you are Leo rising, you are your chart's Sun, and if you are Cancer rising, you are your chart's Moon. Rising here is synonymous with Ascendant.
Once you figure out the degree of the RULER of the Ascendant (say, you have 11° Libra Mars, and 27° Scorpio rising - this makes you 11° Libra, or Libra 12 in a lot of these oracles), you should look these up (as well as other degrees that relate to your general planets and asteroids if you are curious):

Important: in the Placidus housing system, a planet exactly 4°0'0" before a cusp of the next house or less than that is already counted as being in that house. Once you learn to consider this, there is no way that Placidus won't be the most attractive housing system for you.
Once you are better at figuring out how those archetypes relate to the structure of your life and of your mind, I recommend reading authors like Freud, Jung, Winnicott, Reich and Skinner.
Remember, I am not a professional and I am not qualified to talk about this subject, but I have noticed a few patterns. You might be wondering why would I confuse disorders such as autism, ADHD and psychotic spectrum disorders at times. These often look very similar in astrology because they are related to Neptune, Lord of Entropy, causing a mess in your gut-immunity-brain axis, which can often be seen as afflictions to Moon or Mercury; afflictions of Neptune to the Sun, which represents the physical structure of the brain, tend to indicate a psychotic spectrum disorder, but you need to pay attention to other signs, such as Chiron opposite, square or conjunct Saturn, indicating low boundaries of the mind, often seen in the charts of people who have dissociative disorders, C-PTSD, borderline, substance abuse issues, gender dysphoria, chronic pain and chronic fatigue. Neptune is more tied to substance abuse per se - when making conjunction or harsh aspects to Saturn, particularly. You will often notice people who have Moon or Mercury conjunct, square or opposite Uranus, Neptune and Pluto often display signs of autism, ADHD and similar conditions such as learning and speech disorders.
These planets are disruptors to the cycle of life, which ends at Saturn, the planet representing spacetime/material reality, hierarchy, boundaries, skin, hair, nails, teeth, bones, structure, cold, slowness, karma (here defined as "the tendency of things to continue in the path where they were already originally projected to be"), fear, lack or excess, social constructs, marriage, law, science, houses, civilization, oppression and death. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are "spiritual dimensions" that interfere with the order of things. Uranus interrupts things abruptly like a ray strike or a sudden combustion, it stimulates accelerationism, ivory towers, revolutions, inventions and odd or erratic behavior (if Saturn and the things it houses is a mountain, Uranus parts it in half), Neptune causes entropy through alienation, erosion, cults, escapism, artificiality, brainwashing, belief in utopias, confusion, propaganda, overwhelm, leakage, melting, rotting, fossil fuels/global warming (carbon once lost to the bowels of the Earth returning due to entropy and causing positive feedback loops of energy and release), parasitism, infections, all sorts of immunity problems and people and things just parting away, spreading themselves too thin over space and time (if Saturn is a mountain, Neptune is its erosion, mixing with the rests of other mountains and ultimately bringing it down to sealevel where there is nothing prominent or characteristic anymore), and Pluto is what happens when the entropy of Neptune has given rise to a parallel "underworld" structure unseen by the rest of the system metamorphosing and metastasizing into a myriad of unexpected things (if Uranus is just an odd rich person with no concern for society doing what they pelase and Neptune is opportunistic criminality, Pluto is a crime syndicate; Pluto is mutiny, cancer, nuclear energy and accidents, DNA mutations, viral hijacking of cells, extinction whether accidental or intentional, ideologies that call for the abuse of entire groups of people or living beings, panic, secrecy, mutedness, spying, archeology and uses of money to buy the forces of law).
As such, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto can't represent living beings, for they are forces that disrupt the very self-contained structure which life depends on; they can't rule a sign that is a part of a normal cycle, either, as they represent abnormality. Chiron is a portal between different dimensions, and conjunctions and harsh aspects to it cause a planet to "bleed" its archetypal nature into your life in an overwhelming fashion (wounded healer). It represents trauma, including collective trauma, and the school experience. Since Saturn represents authority, repression, oppression, hierarchies, weight, burdens, fear, limitation and experiencing life as a bleak thing, the harsh aspects cause people who struggle with learning (they are more impulsive, compulsive, sensory-seeking) and with structures (for structures failed them and traumatized them). Any planet can cause havoc with Chiron, though, and a harsh aspect between Chiron and a trans-Saturnine that is connected with a harsh aspect of either or both to a softer inner planet such as Moon or Mercury causes similarly intense chaotic experiences, as you are constantly brought into this chaos. Ceres in particular, when combined with conjunction to MC, IC, ASC, DSC or conjunction and harsh aspects to the Sun and the Moon, can indicate overbearing parents, and the presence of Chiron in conjunction or harsh aspects to Saturn, or in conjunction/opposition or squares to the same Angles of the chart, can indicate the sort of trauma narcissistic parents cause.
But I digress. I hope this inspires you to try to figure out your own personal history and how to best handle its unique path and needs!

Well do you know we are all actually not emotionally numb, were just overwhelmed by emotions our mind just choose to stop responding to it.

Please talk to some one my dear...im not saying you would
but lately in my country alot of people been committing suicide...depression is a,silent killer

How are you now?
Often disappointment and pain are linked to Emotional Numbness. A person can be hurt to the point where they no longer feel anything. It's strange yet profound that you've got to allow yourself to feel the pain to be able to feel the pleasures of life. That's what makes us feel alive. The ups and downs, the roller coasters of life...
I'm not disappointed or in pain tho

@@midnightsss_1989 I got a therapist about 5 weeks ago and it has helped a little bit. And oddly, things have slightly fell into place on their own. I had 3 people reach out to me who I hadn't talked to in years. One person who I hadn't seen in 6 or 7 years since gradeschool. Another who I played football with in highschool I haven't seen in 3. And another yet again I hadn't seen since gradeschool. And what's nuts to me is i reconnected with them all through what is to me very unlikely means- politics. And now they all want to go get beers soon. It's just strange to me the major coincidence of that. I still feel very bad most times but I'm starting to get help and it feels good to finally have a way out of the quick sand trap

Same, I know their trying now but its still hard to love them ya know I care for them and my whole family but love doesn't really feel really its just a word tossed around to " mend" everything. I hate how my family treats me and that I don't/ didn't stand up for myself and if I do /did it doesn't matter and I'll still be a push over again.I can't tell my parents anything or else I'll just get guilted for wanting to die, giving attitude when I'm mad or don't feel or see it that way.I didn't what help and thought I'd be crazy for wanting it. But when a recent family event happened I couldn't take it anymore and wanted it but I'm supposed to have answers to questions that I don't know how to feel about or can't explain to my parents too? But have to know it all and just talk to my parents???
They said if I wanted antidepressants I'd have to know the risks and could get hurt taking them but I just didn't want to feel suffocated in darkness and bad thoughts
I don't wanna feel anything and get bad thoughts a few times a day to do something.I know better than to listen to those thoughts but still I just want out, to not feel useless to not feel so suffocated to feel wanted and noticed.I feel like I have to lie half the time and to fake being happy and think that it would've been better not to start caring about anyone ...
Idk I feel so mad most days and can't stand to see my family at times, I want space and to get out but feel like I can't.Idk I'm just hoping if I stick out a while longer,till everything works out I can finally breathe and leave for a bit to clear my head some.
"Who to contact to express yourself" This is the weirdest statement. The problem is that I can't express myself, because there's nothing to express. Everything is inarticulate.
Despite your message, you expressed that thought very well. Good point.
Yeah u actually put this really perfectly. I've found that keeping a journal and just trying to put words to my thoughts n feelings, has helped a lot. It'll help u by making you find words to describe ur feelings n thoughts. You might not do a good job articulating ur actual thought or feeling at first but it honestly just takes practice. Hence the journal!
I was feeling the same way. I was just so lost and couldn't express myself at all but I have actually found some REAL friends who've been listening to my thoughts(and since I'm an overthinker, they are a lot..let me tell you that) and have helped me a lot. At first, I was just ashamed to talk about anything concerning myself and I didn't even want to open up about anything(and I actually thought that that was part of my personality when it really wasn't) but then I realised it has helped me so much and I feel better
Right now when I'm watching this video, I feel absolutely nothing. I have no idea what I feel and I sure in heck don't want to get out of bed, I don't even want to listen to music. I feel like nothing but putting on a fake smile thatll make me exhausted
The same thing with music, it fucking sucks, I make music and it helps me get through my days, but I just feel detached, only helps me to listen to the words to fall asleep, Michael Jackson singing Ben as an adult is my favorite to fall asleep, good luck ❤️
Sometimes the pain and overwhelm is too much to bear, and people start to become emotionally numb. Internal suffering can be debilitating. We need to take our mental health seriously, because how we are feeling shapes our perception of our reality and depression often follows numbness. Sending out so much love ♥️
It's not the pain for me tho
Your Fan Everyone is different, but the important thing is that if you are feeling numb you take it seriously ♥️

I felt all of these (plus sadness sometimes) and went to a psychologist. They told me I felt many emotions because I had nothing to do and was alone with my many many thoughts. You helped me adentify the symptoms and get help. Thank you! YOU ARE POGGERS!!
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.

The number of people that can identify with this is the most depressing part.
Yeah 😔
yeah. this scares me.
All I want to understand is the root cause for almost all of our cases.
The Myth of Normal: Illness and Health in an Insane Culture, will be published in 2021(Dr Gabor Mate).
Dr Mate has written a few books. He has some very interesting thoughts on mental illness, trauma and addiction.
Just thought I would put this out for anyone that may be interested.
@@Hassonn88 everybody has a longings inside them, feelings of incompleteness and emptiness- I feel it to. We have longings to be loved, to be wanted, to be seen, to be known, to be understood, to be accepted...
The only thing, the only one in the universe that can fill our soul’s deepest desperate longings is God. He came to me in my brokenness and forgave me from all my sins. And He is teaching me that He loves me with an unconditional love and forgives eternally. He has never left me lacking in my time of need. I am continuously learning that I can rely upon Him instead of everything that I turn to ease the emptiness inside- whether it be food, relationships, sexual gratification, or achievements in life, cause these things always leave me wanting more, they never fill me up completely or lastingly.
But I have experienced God’s peace and felt His comforting presence. When I choose to turn to God, and pray to Him and share my feelings and struggles, He shows me His promises from the Bible that show me that He is loving, kind, forgiving, faithful and so much more. The fulfillment I receive when I turn to God can’t be rivaled by the temporary pleasure I receive from anything else I turn to.
Dear friend, if you are still reading, I encourage you to do as Acts 3:19 says: “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”
I don’t know what you believe about God or what may hold you back from turning to Him, or whether maybe you doubt if God even exists. But wherever you stand, I encourage you take a leap of faith and pray to Him. And I want you to know that He is faithful and loving and will forgive every sin if you admit that you have a need for forgiveness.
I won’t tell you that entering a relationship with God means that it will all be good feelings and easy times, cause it won’t be. But I truly believe that God will never allow you to go through something that isn’t for your good, and that will cause you to grow.
All this suffice to say, God has shown me that He is the answer- the only answer to our deepest longings, and He wants to have the opportunity to show you if you let Him.
That ended up being longer than I initially intended, but I meant every word.
I’m praying for peace for you who read this
When you realize internet is taking more care of you than your litreal parnets
😂😂😂... Exactly
Lit real parnets ok
One week of my grandma being over and she has noticed more then my parents in 15 years
Truly. I've never had a *litreal parnets* . But I did have literal parents for sure :D XD
@@Blondiekuy Wow didn’t you tell your parents
Me: hey this sounds a lot like me!
*looks up therapy costs in America*
Me: this isn’t very cash money...
unfortunately it’s a lot of cash and a lot of money
It’s very cash money and that’s the problem..
My mom works as a therapist and she makes the cost cheap so that people can afford it cuz I needed one and we couldn’t, but after making is cheap ppl don’t come cuz they think she is ~ inexperienced ~but she literally read every book and every session that’s why it’s expensive so you know it’s worthy :))
@@nourhanahmed7894 Your mom's doing the lord's work my friend.
Not very cash money at all 😩😩
It’s been so many years and I still feel the same. I’ve done many things to try heal but haven’t changed. Lost both my only siblings and a good friend now I’m about to lose my dog. I’ve only cried like twice within the span of 7 years. I feel so numb and I’m jealous everyone else in my family is so emotional and expresses themselves with ease while I’m just sitting here already dead. I have already died. My personality is gone and I can’t enjoy anything anymore, I’m constantly disassociated and can’t look people in the eyes. Nothing feels real and I don’t recognize myself in the mirror. This is hell and not worth living
Not easy, what you have gone through, its bound to make a person numb
How I sum up my current state, "No Tears Left To Cry, No Emotions Left to Express"... I feel lost in this huge scary world...
Woah I'm emotionally numb but I don't think I would get to that point and i think you need help.
Amen
Me sad
i have to force myself to cry just so i can actually feel the pain 😔
i want to cry so bad but i just cant anymore, its annoying
Claire Vandersee last time I cried I was kinda forcing myself a little because my mom was crying and didn’t want to seem heartless and then just continued because I related it to all my problems. Hehe 🙃
Your not the only one
Wait you can make yourself cry? *teach me your secrets*
@49seffy same
“You’ve lost interest” as I was swiping out of the video ...
This video just described my life, literally every single one of them was the most relatable thing I've ever heard
I’ve been numb for like a year now and this isn’t fun I just want the fire back lol I literally only feel anything when I’m angry
My antidepressants filter out everything but loneliness, and I gotta say, still prefer that over everything but anger. I hate being angry, it's the worst :(
Facts I been feeling like this for awhile.
I've been numb for 4 years now. Now I look back and I can see that I used to pick pointless fights with my family probably just in order to feel something alive inside me, like the rage during an argument and the deep regret I felt afterwards.
I'm only 14 and I'm numb.
But I take things differently...
I'm not normal, I'm better than normal.
I'm more disciplined, more accurate, and alert, and careful.
But... I haven't had many friends, or any girfriends.
I got in a bad group, was being more serious, (Lack of facial expressions, less emotions, a little paranoid, ect.) And eventually got in trouble.
Momma was yelling at me and stuff, but I didn't cry or anything, I was just as I was. As always.
But I'm not bad or anything, I don't need meds, no nothing. I just use it to my advantage. To be stronger, apparently, this made me better than normal.
The only time I feel anything is when I'm angry or feeling pleasure when doing something that I shouldn't be doing.
I am at the point where it’s torture being near my parents it’s also to the point where it’s awkward
:( sending you virtual hugz.
:(
Just Found someone like me ..
Me too,it feels so awkward
Same, I hate speaking with them, it's just so weird.
I’m the type of person who bottles up feelings and hides them away pretending to be happy but it’s reached a point that I can’t feel emotion around people and lately my emotions have began to explode and show in front of people, all the sudden release has made me feel more numb than ever
Yeah i can relate to this, the only thing i feel is "numbness" it feels like a black hole on my chest.
Daaayum sun you gotta get in touch with the little kid version of you that’s living in that black hole and say, “I’m gonna get you out of this mess.” Cook healthy, clean up, sleep on time, do the right self care things and over time you’ll feel better.
*SAD* 🥀
Let me climb into it so I can fill it 🥺. Here, no need to help me get in.... I think I can fit!
@@gracechan3039 I can confirm that doing that helped me

quarantine changed me alot honestly. Ive lost a lot of my happines, distant to the people i love, mixed up emotions. It just makes me sad that throughout these 10 months, it changed me completely. I'd never get to see my joyous and happy side again. I dont even know if i recognize myself, to who i am now. Ive always been cheerful, happy, and adventurous. Now, its the exact opposite, i dont know if im sad or not, because my family tells me im just overreacting. I feel anxious and scared when im around people even to those im close to. Ive become more of a introvert person and scared to face reality. Im more insecure as the time pass, and overthink a lot. I use my idealism and make scenarios in my head to make me feel better. Its hard because no one hardly understands me. I feel like im in agony and despair.
ive used all my time on social media and skip alot of my activities. I procrastinate more than i used to, ive been careless, and ignored everyone because i thought that would solve my problems. But no, it became more harder than i thought. I had this idea in my mind that, if i became more distant id make more time for myself, but it only gave me, anxiety and stress.
Hello, it’s January 2022 now. I wrote that comment for nearly 2 years now, which was 2021. I’ve come across numerous things. I’ve realised and acknowledged many things along the way, and I grew as a person. Still, my mental health has worsened, and I’ve been feeling so numb. I can’t figure out what I’m feeling and I don’t know what to feel. I’ve met hundreds of people, and they were able to make me grow as a person. Though now I’ve grown distant to them. My memory has been awfully bad, I keep forgetting our discussions at school, and everything has been overwhelming me. I have tried committing sc for God knows how many times. I’ve been feeling depersonalisation, sleep paralysis, constant anxiety attacks, insomnia, and just feeling so weak. I feel like I’ve given up on my dreams completely, and I’ll have nowhere to go in life in the future. I hope that everyone who’s feeling this way will get eventually better and get the help they need. I don’t know to whom I should reach out to. Please take great care of yourselves, it’ll get better.
Same i can relate
@@anuskamukherjee7887 I wish i can talk to you and comfort you that its gonna be fine. We all face different hardships in life, and its definitely not something easy to cope with. We react differently when facing our circumstamces. But hopefully, it will get better soon, i am sure that when time passes we'll get better and especially you. Please keep on moving because time will go on, and everything changes without even our notice. Hope you're okay, im here for you
@@cchkminrvream5 😭😭 thank you but i still feel the same shit...😭 and on top of that i have exam
@@anuskamukherjee7887 oh my good luck!! I'm sorry for replying late. I don't use RUclips that often, but I do it when I have something necessary to watch or when I'm bored. But it'll get better soon I promise! everything heals within time, and dont think of it much because it will only scare you. Good luck on your exam. I hope I could help you but I also have an exam this coming weekdays. Do great and don't forget to study, it'll help alot so you won't have to do any research on the meantime.
are you my twin from another place or what ? I am experiencing each and every word and letter you said
"Do you feel empty?"
"No...I don't feel anything. I'd rather feel empty than whatever this is"
True
Same
I’ve felt empty before too I know what that feels like, now I just feel nothing nit even empty just nothing
Empty means nothing, so you are feeling empty, you just thought that feeling empty is a different thing.
@@ashleythatsme6900 same...nothing...u know what? I have mastered how to be fake happy...sometimes even I trick myself...but when sometimes I just go from being all happy to sad...I know it that it's fake...i know I am not happy...I am lying to everyone even myself...I don't even know what emotions I feel anymore...there are alot of people to talk to but I don't think they will listen...cuz my problems are small and there are people out there who have bigger problems than me...this is what they told me
For those who don't have time or are rushing
1. You've lost interest
2. You can't feel pleasure
3. Food doesn't taste as good
4. You don't want anything
5. You're really indecisive
6. You feel guilty all the time
7. You avoid your loved ones
8. You feel attacked
I have all of these and thought I was turning into a narcissist, idk what to do lol
Thank you for describing me in details. I still refuse to believe I'm emotionally numb, I feel attacked. Ooops.
We're glad this video helped :) How many signs did you relate to?
@@Psych2go All, I thought you were stalking me. 👀
being numb feels like someone else is controlling my body, like i’m a muppet
fucking exactly
Like a robot yes
Finally we got a definition
That's exactly what I feel 😓
it could be depersonalization
Lost interest: check
anhedonia: check
No motivation: check
Feeling guilty: check
Avoiding family: check
Zero confindence: check
Well, sh*t...
The food one: not check lol
Me too
sHiT
@Boring Channel true
most of the time i just feel anger, frustration or sadness...i used to say that my emotions are switched off and i don't know how to switch it on. I used to care about everything and everyone and now i just don't care...i concluded that i m being selfish but still have no intention of improving.
I guess this explains why i m feeling like this
''Feeling guilty for being guilty'' dang that's my whole life..
Same
Same here
Same. Feeling guilty for existing
Welcome to what I would call the cycle of “heck” I just want you to know it’s ok to feel : )
Daily dose of depression
Emotionally numb is a much nicer way to say "I am dead inside."
I wouldn't say that exactly.
Its saying it with a little pizzazz
i’m just now realizing i’ve never felt love for anyone. it even family. and i’ve never felt loved even when i’m told i am
Same and that's hard =,(
Hey beautiful human! 😇 Firstly I am so very sorry that you are going through this. You don't deserve to feel like this. No one deserves this. It's okay to take a break, your feelings are heard, they are valid it's so real what you are feeling, you are not pretending. Definately not. Lastly I want you to hold on just a little bit longer only for a little while. The storm passes away... trust me IT ALWAYS DOES.

Don't remind me this please- *cries for Chester* T_T

I also resonate this to this song.. love and miss Chester so much.. that song is like an anthem for me. Stay strong, it is temporarily. Like everything!
Weird how he ended up killing himself after he got everything he ever wanted. Life is fucked up that way
I've felt like this for years now, but ever since I lost my mom in February in one of the most horrific ways possible by the hands of someone out there who still walks the streets, it's progressively gotten worse. I don't know what to do anymore, this feeling gets worse by the day
i'm so sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for you I hope things get better for you but I cant trust my family friends their not even my friends I want to isolate myself dont do what I did try to talk to someone about it
I know what you're feeling/experiencing. I'm terribly sorry for your loss and I suggest you get professional help and it will get better
You can dm and tell me how are you feeling ,or everything you want,I'm here
Hold on honey
Not seeing any way out of your immense suffering is up there as one of the worst things ever to bear in this life.
Do you mind sharing what you went through? Perhaps, we can all heal together.
@Mitch Gill dude I'm sorry. I feel you. I have the same problems and my parents don't believe me. It's hard so I fight my battles by myself.
i dont know if i have the right to complain but i feel like ive had the same routine for the past year, im not sure if i got over it but when it was at its worst i couldnt find anyway out of it and it felt like exactly my type of hell. Nothing was interesting. No one made me laugh like they used to. And i have no idea how it happend it just sparked out of nowhere
@@juliajimenez917 That's very kind of you Julia. Thank you
@Mitch Gill omg bro same I was about to sucide today.
It's been 40 days since my father has passed away....I've become emotionally numb since he left and despite trying I still cant cry
