That’s about how long my BPD emptiness feeling lasts. It’s a very weird feeling to not feel. Especially when (in my case) I’m a naturally emotional singlet.
Ive only experienced feeling nothing for short periods at a time due to depression, never for multiple days. Maybe you could try journaling about how your days have been to keep you occupied, or maybe order some yummy food or whatever you like
Hello everybody!! I hope u guys get better, we do also have our seasons of feeling low and empty/down, u guys do matter and are important for this community! Love u guys and care!
i think i know what you mean, its so weird and it feels like we cant emotionally react to anything really, theres just nothing, emptiness and we dont care about anything at all we hope you feel better by now♡
Hey lovelies we wanted to remind you of your own words, you are not alone 💕 we experience a similar thing, often for days at a time. Weve described it before as being like, if this life feels like a simulation it feels there is no point to do anything because it cant be real. Feels like ive paused the game or logged out of reality in the way that time and tasks stop mattering until i log back in. Like reality runs on game time and real life tasks mean just as much as videogame tasks, i.e. nothing, it doesnt matter in the big scheme of things if they get done. Time passes but nothing happens until I mentally 'log in' to reality time again and can start doing things. It sucks to experience it. We usually just watch a long series on youtube like a playthrough. Just keep playing it on our phone in the background to stare at until its time to attempt to sleep. Then we either do or dont sleep, either way we start a new playlist, usually comfort old playthroughs of games in the next morning until we can focus enough to feel again Glad to hear you feel better lately ❤ remember next time it happens, it will be ok and you arent alone with it, it will pass eventually 💕 -blue + kiara
I don’t have DID but I am constantly void of feeling and I have burn out about 2x a month. I slept all day today and I’m still tired. Sleep is my sweet escape. Also when I do tasks I never really feel any accomplishment or proud of myself after it’s finished. I am usually just happy it’s over. If you can call that happy. I too want to do nothing but don’t want to do nothing. I understand. It fucking sucks. My emotions have been sucked away too. And I know I need help. But no one will help me… so often I contemplate why am I here? I am not wanted by anyone. And it’s like I’m falling down a hole where there’s no bottom… and no one to catch me if there is one. Plus, frustration IS a feeling. So you’re not totally feeling nothing. Food for thought ♥️
Pre-diagnosis when overwhelmed we'd lie down and "pretend we didn't exist". Sounds to me like your "becoming part of the flow of time. Part of our journey to diagnosis involved finding triggers for feelings we hadn't felt for decades. Early in diagnosis there were those of us who had very little memory of experiencing emotions. Almost like someone demanded "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all". Grounding and anxiety control can suck in practice, but we are starting to find it helps. ~Foxhaven System
I felt the same in the past and it’s part of the dissociation. It is like feeling your self or soul disconnected from your body and the sur·round·ings. You are detached from everything and it seems you are scrutinizing yourself from outside
Hi Isa and everyone~ Thank you for pushing yourselves to make this video; I'm sure it will help others not feel alone. I've experienced this and you described it very well. I was worried when I was like this for 2 weeks... In my case, turned out it was a bad medication, so we changed it and phew, I came back to feeling. 💗💜💙
I know that feeling! I hate when im like that😔 im just lying on my bed and I cant manage to get up, not for anything! Nothing is fun or even ok. But IF I switch i can feel so lucky and I want to do what ever and it is fun.
I hope you guys feel better now so much love from us ❤️ Also if you are able to, can you make a system update cus a lot of things have happened. Take care ❤️
Yea absolutely, I have this also when I had a lon emotional day. Then I normally feel very drained and empty. Like there is nothing left. When I'm in this state I always have the thought that I just want to be mass flying around in the universe. I also am wery tired in this state and just lay there and do nothing. I can't nearly move at these days. Every move is just so drained and makes me feel like I just gonna pass out. I also make a lot of loud breathing sounds over these days. I just sit der being like "puuuuuuuuh" or "ahhh"
Hey everyone 🖤 we just wanted to let you know that this state has ended after lasting around 2-3 days! 🥺 - isa

Oh phew, what a good comment to read after watching. I'm glad it's passed - it's so vaguely disturbing!
Glad to hear it! :)

One minute at a time. Breathe, drink water, take your meds. That's how I survived my week. It's so hard, and I'm sorry you're going through this.

I feel the same think as you it’s 3 months now, emptiness is worst than sadness, you just feel nothing you are just a body without life
Oh man, 3 months is so long to exist like this! Sending a flood of warmth to you, from Oakland, California

It also can last multiple days.
