I am scared of how comfortable I have become with being numb

0 support0 reactions5 replies
I used to feel everything intensely. Now I move through days in a kind of grey autopilot, neither happy nor sad, just flat. It's almost peaceful, which is the scary part. I think I traded the highs and lows for a safe little numbness and called it being fine. I don't want to wake up at 50 having felt nothing. How do you start feeling again?

It is wild how universal this is and yet how alone it makes each of us feel. You are far more normal than your brain is telling you right now.

Honestly thank you for writing this out loud. So many of us feel it and never say it. You just made a bunch of strangers feel less alone tonight.

What you are feeling makes complete sense given everything you described. You are allowed to feel it without rushing to fix it or apologise for it.

I needed to read this more than you know. Bookmarking it for my own hard nights. Thank you for trusting this space with something so real.

You are carrying a lot. You are allowed to put some of it down here. We will help hold it for a bit.
