I'm not hurting. I'm not crying. I'm just silent. I feel numb... I'm ghosting people... I'm not happy and I am not sad

it’s the shock of the sudden end. Spend time with friends and family for the next few weeks. your head and heart will eventually catch up.
thanks...
have you felt this kind of numbness before, or did it kinda hit you all at once after everything happened?
it hit me all at once
i try to do one tiny thing a day that reminds me i’m still here. even if it’s just leaving the house for five minutes or texting one safe person back.
what do you think is the reason of feeling that?
i had a breakup where i wasn’t crying either, just… nothing. i thought something was wrong with me, but i later realized that numbness was my body saying “i’m overwhelmed.” you’re not alone in this at all
I feel like I am slowly getting into being sad... I want to leave all social media... I feel like listening to slow songs
not alone
I hope you're here with me
it's ok to need time alone to process things, just don't completely isolate yourself from everyone else you love
have you ever been in this situation before? how did it feel? what does it mean?
@ChillPals137 yes I have. I think sometimes we go numb to cope with trauma and pain, until we feel completely ready to feel it. it's a coping mechanism. I personally have experienced it a few times and not just from heart break. I'd say don't force any emotions & try to be kind to yourself. You will feel what you need to feel when your mind is ready to process it all
I know it can be really hard, but don't isolate yourself, that just makes it worse, try to rely on friends and family
I want to be alone for some time.. I feel like looking for family and friends right now will make me pretend that I am ok while I am not... it's like it will make me happy in public and feel sad In private .. I want to be alone and deal with this first
