Why am i feeling numb after my breakup?

Author

Just feeling outta sorts today…numb feelings, kinda like “an emotional black out where you literally Dont feel any emotions, your just there. Wasn’t expecting her text and didnt feel any emotions….does anyone get me?

when those text pop-ups used to freeze me up like that, i found it helped to just close the app immediately and go wash my face with freezing cold water. it snaps your physical body back into the room so you aren't just floating in that blank space all day.

that exact numb feeling is so surreal when it hits. i remember getting a message from my ex months after he walked out and i just stared at my screen like a piece of wood, waiting for my heart to race or tears to come, but there was just nothing. it freaked me out at the time, but honestly it was just my brain putting up a shield because it was tired of burning through so much pain.

that’s a feeling I’d want to have

I totally get you sometimes our comping mechanism does this because of how deep we feel. But don’t suppress your emotions or you will wear yourself out. Experience all of your emotions to the fullest ♡♡
