Thank you 💛 I went through many periods of numbness. Sadly it's quite normal reaction to abnormal events like trauma and abuse. these are periods, it's not how it will stay forever. I hope you have some professional help to learn some tools and practices that can help you with this
That's exactly what's been happening to be lately. I had started to finally feel everything again. The positive and the negative but at some point the negative got too overwhelming. Anger, shame, sadness. And I had a stressful month, so I felt like the only way to deal with life was numbing. But it made it worse, cause now I feel nothing and I don't feel any of that purpose which I felt some weeks ago. I feel lifeless. I'll try to be a distant observer of what I do again as well. Thank you for your content!
I did a 2 column table: Reasons to like me and reasons to not like me. Ever time the Critic would get started, I'd look at the table. Since there were about equal numbers of both, but the not like ones were a lot lamer, it helped a lot. I keep a journal. That hleps to get the feelings nailed down. I don't remember feelings. I can only remember descriptions of feelings. As an exercise, I made a list of 20 songs that make me cry, or did do so at least twice.
If I could feel this would make me cry. It resonates SO MUCH. I feel nothing! I have no desires, no energy, no memory… I feel like I don’t know who I am sometimes. Since the trauma I can’t remember anything. I used to be so smart and lively. This makes me feel unworthy of life. It feels like I dont care about anyone or anything anymore. Is the memoryloss part of it? I literally don’t even remember an hoir ago well
this is very common for trauma survivors, including the memory loss (but still good to see a doctor to make sure it's trauma related and not something else) even though I had a lot of head injuries (concussions), for me the memory issues have resolved over time as I healed and learnt to manage my emotions/nervous system...
I feel emotionally numb. First I was totally amazed, what is happening to me and I couldn't ever think in my wildest dreams that such a thing also exists. This is very difficult phase of life, I want it to end sooner so that I can be happy again. I'll try to do what you said maybe not on a spreadsheet but surely on page. Thanks for making a video on this topic.
@@alondraacosta-mora6504 o dear what happened with you ? Why you have been emotionally numb I am ask I am ill to I need just help some time I do feel I am feelings numb but some time I think it's alexithymia
yeah! you are taking action. I congratulate you! I love it. It's one thing listening to new idea and it is another thing to gentle push oneself and try it on a consistent basis :)
I have depersonalization and I feel numb but I sometimes feel again and I also have low sex drive. I even lost interest in sex. Nothing turns me on. I feel empty I hate this feeling
Thank you! It was not easy, but possible 🥰Don't let your past determine your future or don't let other people tell you what's possible for you. You alone are in charge of this
I have to say I want purpose but I don't want to feel anything .never want to hurt. Never want to show weakness. Never want to. It sucks to feel. And I can't just feel and be okay it puts me out all day but love that I'm not alone thank you for the vedio
Things changed overnight with me. It wasnt the best home but i was loved and happy. At 11 i was pulled away from my family and went to a very horrible place. And at the time the best thing i could do was not feel anthing. Im 21 now. In a better place and surrounded with people who love me. I can distract myself from thinking. Often when i do think i go numb. When it happens and i snap back its so scary to the point where i dont know what to do. I hope i can be at a point where be at a point where i can not be afraid of being alone and think
so glad you are now in a safe place surrounded with people who love you. in a nurturing environment is much better for healing. I met many people (including myself) who completely changed the way they see themselves, how they can function in stressful situations and manage their anxiety or any difficult emotion... it's possible for you too. I believe in you (back in early 2000s when I was diagnosed I was afraid of being alone too, my mind used to go crazy busy.... even if I sat at a beautiful beach watching a sunset... my mind would wander to dark places.... these days I get to enjoy being alone, I no longer have flashbacks etc... things get better
I feel so numb... No feelings for anyone.. Not able to love anybody..like a robot i feel..as i heal and work on myself ,will i be able to feel all the emotions like a normal human being? I feel so guilty for not able to feel love towards anybody right now
yes, feelings do come back. feeling numb at times is understandable given that our brain or amygdala is hyperactive constantly on the lookout for danger,... so it needs a little break at times... it's about accepting ourselves while we are numb, being kind and patient with ourselves and learning to be ok with internal sensations little by little...
Your feelings will return. I went through many periods where I lost all my feelings, some lasted weeks, others many month and even over a year... it's a phase. It's good ot have a therapist to help you. anything with emotions I found therapists trained in ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) most helpful, even though the name of this therapy approach did turn me off initially :)
I am 17 and suffering from emotional numbness I feel like my body is not mine anymore like it left me I can't go for therapy so I have to make myself better again even though I can't really feel anything I still have a very little hope somewhere that I'll get better one day so you can you please tell me how to start
first is always safety (e.g. your environment, where you live and feeling safe in your body), finding some practices that you find soothing and nurturing, and practicing accepting yourself however you are in this moment.
my spreadsheets aren't all that fancy :) you could also do one in a word document using the table... But it is a great suggestion, maybe I can make a pretty one and email it out to you all :)
Kind of I guess, but not always. Some times I continue to feel numb long after I had a freeze response. Yet other times I just need to feel slightly threatened and I go numb. I wonder if it is more part of dissociation?
Hi tanja please can you tell me I had brain surgery cyst hydrocephalus pressure hospital misdiagnosed me I had many neurological problem with pressure I had emergency brain surgery post surgery something gone better but still struggling neurological problem memory I don't feel emotions but I can't feel emotions feelings is not connecting with my thoughts emotions numbness problem with high pressure my pre surgery .now it's been 8 months.how can help me connect my emotions with my thoughts so I can feel my emotions.i do express but I can't feel them all as normal
There were times nothings seemed fun there was just emptiness.... but as I healed my feelings did come back. and yes I can have fun now... hang in there! trust that a better future is possible for you too :)
Hey, pardon my English I’m not really good at speaking English. I’m 15 and I don’t know if it’s numbness but I too can’t feel anything, for example I can love people but I can’t feel happiness, I can’t feel humour, or I can’t feel good moments, and all I can do is force a smile and I’m only 15 I’m not really good at this😭 and the people I’m around have to force the smile back, I’ve been numb from the start of 2020 and now I’m scared to meet people because I’m just so tired of faking the smiles😔I’m having so much trouble with feeling emotions I really want to heal and start being happy like I used to, I don’t understand what has caused me this but I’ve been dating someone and the only time I was hurt was by him always, and also my parents have kept me isolated for a long time, I saw my friends going out but I couldn’t join them, also my parents didn’t support my relationship with my bf and I’ve been in so much pressure but I still didn’t leave his side and maybe he was toxic but he accepted his mistake and apologised and now he’s changed so much but I’ve become so numb that I can’t feel happiness anymore, all I can feel is anger and pain, please tell me can I really heal? Can I be like the old me? And can my relationship be the cause of it? I want to be with him now cause he’s changed but sometimes I get flashbacks of the past pain I’ve felt and I start overthinking and I cry😭 I’d really appreciate it if you reply❤️
Yes, we can heal. I hope you find a therapist who can support you through this. There are also great books available, e.g. Pete Walker's "comples ptsd from surviving to thriving" explains our challenges and is packed with tips
Hi Tanja, thank you for your videos. I have a question it is off topic of this video. Have you heard of Alexithymia? Alexithymia, is a personality construct characterized by the subclinical inability to identify and describe emotions in the self. The core characteristics of alexithymia are marked dysfunction in emotional awareness, social attachment, and interpersonal relating. I can't find much on it, just wondering if you know anything about this.
this is quite common for people with complex PTSD. It took me many years before I could name the emotions that came up for me... differentiate them... if that makes sense. I had a lot of professional help there. mostly I read a lot of books and articles to see how people describe emotions and where in the body they feel them... so I kind of learnt on an intellectual level first and then tried to identify them within myself :) hope that helps
Is it a sign I might have CPTSD if I relate to most of these cptsd videos, and actually find it helpful to my problems? The thing is I don't feel like there was anything in my life that would be significant enough to cause cptsd. But when I was younger I had very intense feelings I could not handle to the point I turned it off. Maybe I just have some habits similar to someone with cptsd?
Have you read the book "running on empty" by JOnice Webb? maybe that has some answer for you, sometimes the absence of someone being in tune with your intense feelings in childhood can be traumatising enough...
Im not really godod for speaking english, but I will try to explain, and i hope that you could answer to my letter. Well I dont know actually is it numb or not, but it started when I accidentaly lost love andfeelings for my girlfriend, and to be honest its not really good thing. A little bit later I lost other emotions like Anger, sadness, happiness I just feel like empty place inside, just like I dont have a soul. But nevertheless I cant remember my moments of my life: Well I mean that when I try to remember my moments just spliting or interrupting, so thats why I feel so empty inside. My main questions are two: What should I do,?I tried to write but ahh it is so difficult, to explain something that I dont know. And secound: Will my love and feelings for my girlfriend come back? Cause before that happend I really loved her, but know it feels like she is a stranger or a wall. Thank you for your answers
i had a lot of professional help with this at the beginning of my healing journey. i had many period of numbness in my life and then the feelings come back again. for me it's focusing on grounding exercises, getting back into my body, any exercise that stimulates the vagus nerver (e.g. om chanting), feeling safe in my body...
do you mean the numbness lasting for one hour? My periods of numbness often lasted many months. I found it important to get some professional help to learn some practices and tools to help me get back in my body again or feeling again :)
I feel so like lost and empty nothin feels real too me I took my moms Hydroxyzine anxiety meds and overdosed and told her about it Bc I felt like I was about to die and now I’m jus not feeling anything especially to my gf I don’t feel nothing anymore everything feels like I’m gone and it hurts so bad Bc I love her so much and don’t wan let go of her everything jus hurts so bad and I’m only 14 years old
when we have such intense emotions and pain it's hard to stay with them, so our body naturally numbs our emotions to help us protect from that pain.It's only temporarily. Your emotions will come back when you feel safe again. Do you have any professional help? It's ok to reach out for help. I wish I had the courage to see a therapist much sooner. My heart goes out to you
yes they are different. but you can have alexithymia and feel numb. I did a video on alexithymia here's the link th-cam.com/video/m3yonwS7984/w-d-xo.html
Can we feel sensation less from within the body. Like I can't feel anything within my body from throat till chest since last 2 months. And even if I breathe long enough I can't feel the air moving through nose. But the oxygen did flowed thru nose. What might be the possibilities of such an situation
yes I had many periods where I couldn't feel my body. stress, new trauma memories, other illness that cause as stress, relationship break ups, moving, new jobs... anything overwhelming can trigger periods of numbness. it's always good to check in with your doctor when that happens
@@TanjaWindegger but all they say is nothing is there. I have seen a neurologist even he said it's all youtlr thinking. But we the sufferer actually feels it. 😭 I am very much depressed due to this. This feeling of sensation less is eating me up. What to do . Please help🙏
@@CAVikasWadhwani excellent that you got medical clearance. so what helped me is not to fight that numbness or try to get rid of it, stress or worry about, instead focus on finding ways to calm down our nervous system, activate that vagus nerve... as this is what will bring back your connection with our body sensations... Have you read the polyvagal theroy by Stephen Porgers? or perhaps check out some of his vidoes. it may explain what is going on for you.
my heart goes out to you. I went through many periods of not feeling anything. please know they are phases. I kept telling myself that this is what my body needs right now to heal in this phase....
I’m 13 and I don’t feel anything anymore. I try my hardest to feel something but I just can’t. Great video, thank you and your very pretty💗
