How many of you are in this phase right now?
Not severe depression, just a numbing sadness, but you can't pinpoint the reason why.
And if so, how are you coping during this phase?

Why am i feeling numb after my breakup?

does it feel more like something triggered it or did it just quietly settle in out of nowhere?
Honestly, I think it's a cumulative effect of sheer emotional exhaustion over these last 42 days since our fight and his text silent treatment. When I get worn out, my mood always dips.
honestly, i stopped trying to “figure it out” all the time and just let it exist for a bit. doing small normal things helped me more than forcing myself to feel better.
Right. That's what I did yesterday. I rested. Today, errands and hitting the pool. I'm trying to focus on me, not him or us.
hat weird in-between where nothing is fully falling apart but nothing feels right either. i remember just going through my days feeling kinda empty and not knowing what exactly i was even sad about.
Yep, that's exactly me!
Part of you still misses them or something that was part of you as a unit, that’s what makes you sad. You probably miss a feeling (usually the dopamine hit), but probably not them as a person. I usually try to focus on the negatives of why I shouldn’t go back and use those to convince myself that I shouldn’t be sad about no longer having those negatives in my life.
Absolutely. My head feels relief cuz I know it was a bad situation. But my heart still misses him mostly as a friend.
I just feel so empty.. :(
Me too, kinda, which means we both have to drop our phones, get out, and live our lives! I know it's hard, but we must push through and do it for ourselves.
