It's been awhile since I posted on here or even gone on this app. probably almost a week. Wednesday I haven't actually thought of him since I haven't been on here. although, while I'm not thinking of him I still feel very numb and emotionless. I guess I feel very lonely and isolated. Working from home doesn't help with this. I haven't been wanting to do the things that I usually enjoyed doing, I've been wanting to sleep a lot, watch TV a lot, and stuff my face with junk food. All things that I normally don't do and aren't me. I have tried to get out, but now that December is among us, it is quite cold and snowy here in northern Ohio. The lack of sun is getting to me and all of these happy lamps that I've bought don't seem to work. Anyone else feel like this? You have any tips for getting through this?

when you say you feel numb, is it like you can’t feel anything at all, or more like everything is muted and far away?
It feels like everything is muted and far away and it's so out of reach
not even something “healthy,” just something that broke the loop. sometimes it was just walking to get a coffee or calling a friend for five minutes. small feels pointless at first, but it kinda wakes you back up slowly.
when my last breakup hit me, i stopped being “me” too. i’d just sleep, binge shows, eat crap, and stare at the wall feeling nothing. winter made it ten times worse, like the cold swallowed my mood. you’re not weird for this. it’s literally how my body reacted when everything felt too heavy.
I love a happy lamp! what pushes me to get outside when the weather is crappy (visited my parents in MI and we got 9 inches of snow) is bundling up really well. I know it sounds basic but if you bundle up good and have some good boots then you can go outside and enjoy the weather
