- Are you emotionally numb? Do you feel depressed, empty, and lose interest in the things you used to enjoy? Emotional numbness is when you lose the ability to feel or express your emotions, which is also known as anhedonia. Anhedonia, is in fact, one of the many symptoms of depression. Numbness can grow and worsen over time, so here are eight signs that you are emotionally numb.

That's me right now
For 1 week I feel like I m stressed I have anxiety
But right now I feel like nothing
I don't have any emotions anymore
I relate to literally all of these except 3 and 8. I still love food, and I blame myself for the way I'm feeling so don't really feel attacked by others. Just lonely and unmotivated.
6,7,and 8 is not the thing i have i just dont give a f about anything sometime and got bored realy fast
I cried for the first time in a really long time yesterday night, and it was after reading “what makes you most happy in the whole world” and I couldn’t think of one single thing that I was genuinely happy about, except my cat, and then I just broke down, went out of my bed and laid on the floor next to my cat crying for half an hour.
I don’t think anyone can understand how much of a relief it was to finally just let everything go.♡︎
i would love to read it ^^
is that a book?
Yeah I realize that my cat is my best friend and that makes me realize how pathetic my life is.
If only i could cry. You know it's bad when your hoping to cry.
I remember almost crying in over 2 to 3 years over a quiz asking me what my life goal was, honestly crying is such a nice feeling whenever u can't express yourself
1 ) You 've lost interest in your daily lives .
2)you can't feel pleasure (anhedonia- inability to feel pleasure)
3) Food doesn't taste so good .
4) you don't want anything .Every activity feels like a chore
5) You are indecisive
6) You feel guitly all the time .you even feel guilty for feeling guilty
7) You avoid your loved ones.
8) You feel attacked , criticised everywhere you go

Emotional numbness when you grow up emotionally numb:
1. no idea what to do in the future (no idea what to do in pretty much any situation)
2. no interest in food, friends, talking, expressing emotions, homework, or life in general
3. no interest in health at all
4. paranoia (idk, maybe that's just me)

Ye I'm fine.
Why more do I need than my typical 0% grades, wierd personality, and wonderful friends?
yUp, life's going pretty good rn :)
@@theshinikurireaper1286 ah , great .
Same here
All of what I'm going through. Like somehow I'll embarrass myself just from trying to fit in. Makes me think I bother people just from being alive.
Sometimes it feels like I understand on how others feel but... I tend not to care as I used to be... It feels like all of my emotions weren't even real, and after all these years of abandonment, betrayed, and being shunned by so many people.. Sure I ended up having friends again but... I feel like what really made me get costed to that.. Is losing all of my genuine feelings that I used to had in the past... All gone... And I feel like I only focus on myself more than I do with my family or friends needs.. I have grown to not seem to care about anything like I used to... I only have online friends, and at least two or four friends in person, and everyone in school is just so nice to me but... I feel like everything around me is all fake... Especially my feelings nowadays... And.. I just wish on how to feel again... And wishing to control myself too.. Considering I can only feel anger a lot more than my other emotions... It always made me feel as if I am a shitty person to begin with... And my family being right about me... That I haven't changed over the years of how I am... Like yeah I changed my actions and all but... It's the way on how I act and feel that hasn't changed..
i feel like no one really cares bout me u know, ive lost all my friends and i barely speak to my family anymore, i feel lazy and guilty because i dont do anything but at the same time i just dont care anymore, when someones come to ask if im ok i just froze and dont know what to say because i feel like what im feeling is not valid, i dont cry because i feel like i have no reasons to cry but i want to just let it go so badly, i started doing drugs recently and i fell shitty about it but i cant realy stop anymore, everything feels just fake and i feel like anything will make me happy anymore like i dont have a reason to live
@@analycanabarro9660 I'm so sorry to hear that man.. That's how I feel somewhat..
@Lily Lake i don't mean to act like i know you but I've felt the same way ever since my dad died. (not to start a sob story for myself)
Only i push all the "friends" away from me a long time ago and have been isolated ever since with only one i talk to on the phone every few weeks
It didn't make me feel any less rage
But it did help me see things more clear that fake friends should be cut loose and you should be self reliant in the world
yea it feels like im an alien observing a humans actions its so numb
Same
I constantly feel like crying but tears never come out
Same but sometimes they come gushing out sometimes not at all
I hate to admit this but drugs and alcohol are the only way I feel most things anymore.
I don’t cry at all anymore....I have all of these symptoms but I’m going through a divorce but this is brutal. I have been preconditioned for this. This marriage did this to me it was a control mechanism that he used. Now I’m trying to find me again
Omg same
I don't want to cry, but my tears won't stop falling out.
1. You've lost interest
2. You can't feel pleasure
3. Food doesn't taste as good
4. You don't want anything
5. You're really indecisive
6. You feel guilty all the time
7. You avoid your loved ones
8. You feel attacked
@@balls8081 :))
I have all of these. Literally all of these
I attacked w i leave my room every one on my case with online school
All those describe me now
Can't sleep either. Even i'm trying to close my eyes. Something that i don't understand. No imaginations after i close my eyes.. It feels like very empty like i feel pain in my head.. And what really scare me what if i'm going to be crazy? My family doesn't know about my conditions. I don't know if anyone feels what my situation is now.. 😭 Please pray for me I really suffer from this since after giving birth 😭😭😭😭
the worst thing is, when I feel sad. I can’t cry, I don’t even look sad. So everybody thinks I’m happy - if I’m at a funeral or something. It’s terrible, it makes my feel like I’m also being pressured to cry.
I know how this feels
I used to have all these 8 signs not so long ago. But gladly, I finally found an amazing person who changed my life. Now I can finally experience things again and feel alive, it took time, but it was worth it. Whoever is going through this, I hope you're doing okay.
do you have any tips? (nice aiko pfp btw)
I was calling it being dead inside but this works too I guess.
Same 😆
Well...I would call that spiritual awakening. .but this works too I guess..
Yes because you feel lile dead in this moment, when this feelings are coming. But in real, it is depression and numbness and emptyness.
Same
that's right
Sometimes I feel emotionally numb but other times I feel TOO emotional. My emotions need to make up their mind
This right here is a big fat mood and I don't think that's a good thing- 👁️👄👁️
I feel you 😞
Relatable 😢
Yea feel the same way.
Yeah, me too
Anyone else losing their passion for anything at this point during the pandemic (assuming you are still stuck at home)?
me.... i dont know what my life is about? nothing seems to excite me...
@@happygal1974 I feel the same. I used to be a gamer, be excited about all the possible games I could play, but now I feel nothing when the Xbox turns on...
Want something cool? Work out.
I cannot cry, my life is automated. Everyday is the same with no differences, my decisions is the same, i can't control my time, I can't control myself, i want to go beyond this life, want to try new things, want to get out of this "normal" situation, I wanna feel satisfaction, doesn't have motivation. Sometimes I hope there something that is interesting, i want to punch people, i want to make new friends, i want to become a UA-camr, i want to have a healthy lifestyle, i want to sleep properly, i don't want to seeing figure in the dark because of my brain, i want to learn new things. Sometimes I wanna feel pain. Maybe next time? Or tomorrow? Or next month? Or in the next second? I don't know anymore.
Me: tells my Family about my emotional numbness
My family: *"that's Because you're always on your phone"*
Family never understand and if you try to tell them how you feel they just find a way to be angry at you or make it about them. They always blame it on my laziness but laziness is a symptom not the cause.
@@pearsemolloy9656 same. So frustrating
Wait... that's illegal
On the computer in my case, but same
They dont have to understand, no one really besides you have to understand it. Its a bit harsh and I dont know if it will help but it avoids some frustration.

...I'm dead inside. The love of my life turned out to be a Covert Narcissist and he destroyed me for the second time in this life, with years apart. But now, after this whole life of mine, it's like I am the Living Death... and quite frankly I don't even care anymore.
I don't even remember what my genuine laugh sounds like. I still "laugh", but it's always a bit forced and never feels natural.
So sad to think about. I only get some sort of joy when I'm high, but even then, it's not enough sometimes.
this honestly made me cry, it felt like someone finally understood me
❤️❤️❤️

Omg that's so me 😂
I hate the feeling when u want to cry so bad but the tears never come out
That’s true I’m trying it’s not working
felt the same way when a loved one passed away, u feel sad but you cant cry
So true
This is true :(
And even when you do it just ends a few minutes later because your used to convincing yourself that it doesnt matter because it will all end soon anyway.
Of all your videos so far, this is probably the one I relate to the most. I have a bit of positive mindset, but I feel relatively numb. Feels like I'm just a car set on neutral or autopilot.
It’s been so many years and I still feel the same. I’ve done many things to try heal but haven’t changed. Lost both my only siblings and a good friend now I’m about to lose my dog. I’ve only cried like twice within the span of 7 years. I feel so numb and I’m jealous everyone else in my family is so emotional and expresses themselves with ease while I’m just sitting here already dead. I have already died. My personality is gone and I can’t enjoy anything anymore, I’m constantly disassociated and can’t look people in the eyes. Nothing feels real and I don’t recognize myself in the mirror. This is hell and not worth living
Not easy, what you have gone through, its bound to make a person numb
*me, knowing i’m emotionally numb*
me: omg let me find out if i’m emotionally numb!
lil meow meow uwuuuu
😅
Lol same
Lmao same. xD
same
I'm so numb I don't care about consequences but feel the anxiety of time passing and neglecting my responsibilities
Omg so true ! That's it !
I feel exactly the same...
I feel the same way as well.
You put it in words.

This video just made me realize how horribly suicidal and depressed I am. And just made all my guilts get a lot worse about my emotional state and personal mental health. Im going to do regrettable things now. Thank you.
pls don’t
ARE YOU OKAY
Haha, funi thoughts. plz help °-°
this lady's voice sounds like a warm endearing hug i really wish i could feel
I dont like how comforting her voice is
It makes my loneliness more painful
I know right. It's kinda...I dunno, awkward. I think.
Yeah man I agree it makes me feel depressed more
It makes my arms weak and makes me feel worse
true
Gives me comfort I don’t get anywhere else
“you’re indecisive”
cut to me, trying to decide whether I’m indecisive
Lol
Mood 😔✌
i’m so indecisive you can’t cuff me but i’m wifey
I had something in mind to get at this to-go restaurant, but then my boyfriend mentioned something else I have liked there. I was then sweating bullets trying to decide if I get what I thought of or the thing he mentioned. Just one example of not being able to make decisions! 😖 It freaks me out!
They just described the food with no taste part...that's why it's so hard for me. Food doesn't do much for me because the taste isn't all tat great. Everything is just "fine" or "good." Didn't expect to see the taste of food on here.
A tear actually fell when I'm halfway the video. Thank you.
How are you now?
This video just described my life, literally every single one of them was the most relatable thing I've ever heard
“Seek help”
I’m poor and can’t afford a therapist so I’ll just cope with memes I guess.
Felt tht

I wouldn't normally proselytize about this, but, I am from the empoverished periphery of Rio de Janeiro and I have been a NEET ever since 2012. I have autism (former "Asperger's", also pathological demand avoidance), ADHD (I used to have many anxiety attacks due to rejection sensitive dysphoria), very mild OCD and cyclothymia (both used to be worse), social anxiety (developed after I got fat), and I am recovering from anxiety, binge eating disorder, maladaptive daydreaming, and atypical light gender dysphoria (I am nonbinary). What helped me was studying more about myself and my own needs.
There are tests for your personality that may indicate that. There is the Socionics test (which is more accurate at revealing your Myers-Briggs type than about all free Myers-Briggs tests; add /subtype to the page of your Sociotype at Sociotype dot com), there is Enneagram, there is Attitudinal Psyche, and then there is researching about your Homestuck types (mine are Pipia and Bard of Light).
When you are more aware about what kind of person you are (and really, put some time into researching the truth these tests may offer, Google a lot until you are satisfied and you think you figured out what exactly you are, try to look other types if yours does not feel particularly revealing - and Myers-Briggs descriptions need to discuss Jungian cognitive functions such as Ne and Ti), it is time to make an astrological birth chart. Yes. Yes I realize this sounds absurd. But I was an atheist for 10 years (between ages 10 and 20), I knew all of the logical fallacies, I know how to filter obvious fake news and I always denounced pseudoscience. But, when I got deeper and deeper into astrology in order to try to disprove it to my mom and my friends, it ended up revealing its truth. I had to concede and accept that spirituality is real and maybe we live in a simulation. Other atheist friends tricked me into reading Jeffrey Dahmer's chart without knowing it was him, and I guessed his disorders more or less correctly (I saw autism, OCD and borderline - he had schizotypal, OCPD and borderline).
What 99.95% of astrologers don't know and 99.9995% of people who believe in astrology don't know is that, 1. most people are not their Sun sign, but a different sign (which helps to explain why some people identify a lot with astrology and others not at all) and 2. the Hellenistic period, Medieval and Renaissance astrologers were right, and Saturn rules Aquarius, Jupiter rules Pisces and Mars rules Scorpio (you can use the new planets and the endless asteroids to try to think of potential problems and alterations to the planets within Saturn's orbit). When making a birth chart at sites like www dot astro dot com (requires login) or www dot astro-seek dot com (does not require login), look up your Ascendant. You need to know your birth time. You are the specific planet ruling the Ascendant.
If you are Aries or Scorpio rising, you are your chart's Mars. Mars will indicate your body, and, since Hellenistic Greeks did not believe in mind-body dualism, it will also indicate your mind. The degree of the specific sign in which Mars is found, the aspects it makes to other planets, bodies and axes in the chart, the house it is found at, will talk a lot about who you are (I recommend researching Renaissance Astrology and Skyscript, among other sources, to try to figure out how Mars and the signs impact your body, and trying to look up relationship between parts of your body that may be compromised by a hurt Mars hurting a specific sign, and the mental problems it may be associated with - I do this for my friends all the time, and I often figure out signs of depression, psychosis, C-PTSD and autism; of course, I am not a therapist so I can't officially diagnose a thing, but I recommend them their own course of action and who and what to try to seek more expert help with). If you are Libra or Taurus rising, you are your chart's Venus. If you are Virgo or Gemini rising, you are your chart's Mercury. If you are Pisces or Sagittarius rising, you are your chart's Jupiter. If you are Aquarius or Capricorn rising, you are your chart's Saturn. If you are Leo rising, you are your chart's Sun, and if you are Cancer rising, you are your chart's Moon. Rising here is synonymous with Ascendant.
Once you figure out the degree of the RULER of the Ascendant (say, you have 11° Libra Mars, and 27° Scorpio rising - this makes you 11° Libra, or Libra 12 in a lot of these oracles), you should look these up (as well as other degrees that relate to your general planets and asteroids if you are curious):

Important: in the Placidus housing system, a planet exactly 4°0'0" before a cusp of the next house or less than that is already counted as being in that house. Once you learn to consider this, there is no way that Placidus won't be the most attractive housing system for you.
Once you are better at figuring out how those archetypes relate to the structure of your life and of your mind, I recommend reading authors like Freud, Jung, Winnicott, Reich and Skinner.
Remember, I am not a professional and I am not qualified to talk about this subject, but I have noticed a few patterns. You might be wondering why would I confuse disorders such as autism, ADHD and psychotic spectrum disorders at times. These often look very similar in astrology because they are related to Neptune, Lord of Entropy, causing a mess in your gut-immunity-brain axis, which can often be seen as afflictions to Moon or Mercury; afflictions of Neptune to the Sun, which represents the physical structure of the brain, tend to indicate a psychotic spectrum disorder, but you need to pay attention to other signs, such as Chiron opposite, square or conjunct Saturn, indicating low boundaries of the mind, often seen in the charts of people who have dissociative disorders, C-PTSD, borderline, substance abuse issues, gender dysphoria, chronic pain and chronic fatigue. Neptune is more tied to substance abuse per se - when making conjunction or harsh aspects to Saturn, particularly. You will often notice people who have Moon or Mercury conjunct, square or opposite Uranus, Neptune and Pluto often display signs of autism, ADHD and similar conditions such as learning and speech disorders.
These planets are disruptors to the cycle of life, which ends at Saturn, the planet representing spacetime/material reality, hierarchy, boundaries, skin, hair, nails, teeth, bones, structure, cold, slowness, karma (here defined as "the tendency of things to continue in the path where they were already originally projected to be"), fear, lack or excess, social constructs, marriage, law, science, houses, civilization, oppression and death. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are "spiritual dimensions" that interfere with the order of things. Uranus interrupts things abruptly like a ray strike or a sudden combustion, it stimulates accelerationism, ivory towers, revolutions, inventions and odd or erratic behavior (if Saturn and the things it houses is a mountain, Uranus parts it in half), Neptune causes entropy through alienation, erosion, cults, escapism, artificiality, brainwashing, belief in utopias, confusion, propaganda, overwhelm, leakage, melting, rotting, fossil fuels/global warming (carbon once lost to the bowels of the Earth returning due to entropy and causing positive feedback loops of energy and release), parasitism, infections, all sorts of immunity problems and people and things just parting away, spreading themselves too thin over space and time (if Saturn is a mountain, Neptune is its erosion, mixing with the rests of other mountains and ultimately bringing it down to sealevel where there is nothing prominent or characteristic anymore), and Pluto is what happens when the entropy of Neptune has given rise to a parallel "underworld" structure unseen by the rest of the system metamorphosing and metastasizing into a myriad of unexpected things (if Uranus is just an odd rich person with no concern for society doing what they pelase and Neptune is opportunistic criminality, Pluto is a crime syndicate; Pluto is mutiny, cancer, nuclear energy and accidents, DNA mutations, viral hijacking of cells, extinction whether accidental or intentional, ideologies that call for the abuse of entire groups of people or living beings, panic, secrecy, mutedness, spying, archeology and uses of money to buy the forces of law).
As such, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto can't represent living beings, for they are forces that disrupt the very self-contained structure which life depends on; they can't rule a sign that is a part of a normal cycle, either, as they represent abnormality. Chiron is a portal between different dimensions, and conjunctions and harsh aspects to it cause a planet to "bleed" its archetypal nature into your life in an overwhelming fashion (wounded healer). It represents trauma, including collective trauma, and the school experience. Since Saturn represents authority, repression, oppression, hierarchies, weight, burdens, fear, limitation and experiencing life as a bleak thing, the harsh aspects cause people who struggle with learning (they are more impulsive, compulsive, sensory-seeking) and with structures (for structures failed them and traumatized them). Any planet can cause havoc with Chiron, though, and a harsh aspect between Chiron and a trans-Saturnine that is connected with a harsh aspect of either or both to a softer inner planet such as Moon or Mercury causes similarly intense chaotic experiences, as you are constantly brought into this chaos. Ceres in particular, when combined with conjunction to MC, IC, ASC, DSC or conjunction and harsh aspects to the Sun and the Moon, can indicate overbearing parents, and the presence of Chiron in conjunction or harsh aspects to Saturn, or in conjunction/opposition or squares to the same Angles of the chart, can indicate the sort of trauma narcissistic parents cause.
But I digress. I hope this inspires you to try to figure out your own personal history and how to best handle its unique path and needs!
I find it physically exhausting when I hang out with people because I feel like I have to make myself have a good time
and you think about when you felt actual emotions you could have a good time and feel happiness like everyone else is feeling and connect with them on a deeper level
Same,in school i always try to make friends to be percieved as "normal and approachable" by other students but by the time school ends for the day i'm both mentally abd physically exhausted,it has been happening for 3 years now
@@luisbernales6336 Relax...calm down. Its okay to be diffrent. I know how it feels but dont make the mistake in trying to be seen as great. Be great, set a goal and dominate friend. Start now, and remember that if uou have no friends, at least you aint tired so you can live your lifr. Pray to God, hes god ur back
I literally avoid people because of this, I hate even setting foot outside my house because of this
This is so true
I felt all of these (plus sadness sometimes) and went to a psychologist. They told me I felt many emotions because I had nothing to do and was alone with my many many thoughts. You helped me adentify the symptoms and get help. Thank you! YOU ARE POGGERS!!
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
The last one you mentioned !!! . I cried out loud and broke down 🥲💔 . Thank you . I kind of felt little bit of relieve . And doing my best 🙌🏼 .

Im ruthless not numb.
I’m so numb, my friends are leaving me, my parents won’t notice me unless I’m misbehaving, I’m not even living, I’m just functioning. I eat, sleep, breathe, there’s no joy or sadness, I’m just here.
You will overcome this soon 🤞💜✨
Okay ❤️
I feel you
Same
And mix in al lot of famy drama and being just the age to understand what is going on but can do enithing about
You have on life and there is nothing more important then having fun
Everything you do comes to you wanting to have fun
You go to school so you can work you work so you get money and with money you can pay your bills and by paying your bills you are comfortable
Even tho you think u dont want to go to work you still do you still dont want to be bored
Ive felt that
most of the time i just feel anger, frustration or sadness...i used to say that my emotions are switched off and i don't know how to switch it on. I used to care about everything and everyone and now i just don't care...i concluded that i m being selfish but still have no intention of improving.
I guess this explains why i m feeling like this
I listened to this entire video while writing down a list of what I've been dealing with and I've been experiencing emotional numbness for a few months now, I've had 7 out of the 8 signs of emotional numbness
I used to be so empathetic and emotionally available, now I just feel useless. I care but at the same time, I just don't. I can't help but feel guilty but at the same time, it all just seems pointless.
😔😔😔Same
Same
Same
Me too!
Same
“Food doesn’t taste as good” *Ok never mind I’m not emotionally numb*
I said the exact same lmao
ItzBen21 Lol 😂
😂😂😂😂
🤣
Same
For those who don't have time or are rushing
1. You've lost interest
2. You can't feel pleasure
3. Food doesn't taste as good
4. You don't want anything
5. You're really indecisive
6. You feel guilty all the time
7. You avoid your loved ones
8. You feel attacked
I have all of these and thought I was turning into a narcissist, idk what to do lol
I love that you have that service listed at the very end....it's the perfect synergy!

Try a book, they can still be helpful and way cheaper.

It is almost half a year ago when I sent this video to my friend, because I was feeling this way for so long, it was just getting worse and nothing seemed to help. After a month I found out I have an underactive thyroid. Surprisingly, since then things has got a lot better and I'm finally fine, even though I sometimes still struggle with some things, but it's okay. I wish to you all to find out YOUR reason why you're feeling this way and to feel better soon❤️
The fact I searched for this knowing really well why I feel like this truly says something about me 😔
Being sad is way better than being emotionally numb.
Ikr :/
Thanks for sharing! This is very true. Did you relate to the signs mentioned in the video?
yeah
I would rather be numb than sad
unknown I’ve been emotionally numb for years already and yes I definitely agree with you. I don’t want to be hurt so I am quite happy with what I have rn but it’s not normal
People: *insults me*
Me: you can't hurt me im emotionally numb
People: yes i can
Me: well yes you can
MEEEE
Haha
Chosen group of people can have more effect on me tho... Family and friends to be exact.. And it sucks
Well do you know we are all actually not emotionally numb, were just overwhelmed by emotions our mind just choose to stop responding to it. If people are really emotionally numb that means people won't be capable of having breakdowns nor explode like a bomb, woosh me all you want but that's just the truth.
@@ivann9924 no no i wont whoosh you or anything i fully agree with what you said!! i cant speak for everyone but for me i just like to believe that im numb to anything that people say because i dont want to be hurt, but then it becomes kinda like a habit and it sucks really, I'd rather just cry than not giving a shit 😅
I have had depression since I was 9 and I lost interest in the things I used to enjoy and my life, and it's very hard for me to make any kind of decisions, and I also have all the 8 signs shown in the video, I wish I had someone to talk to improve from depression to being a normal person in life.
I actually cried for the first time in months watching this video and it felt good
"I'm so numb, I forgot what feeling feels like"
same here...
@what. nbbaplease say that This isn’t some dumb ahh teen faking this cause I really wanna talk to someone pls you have Instagram
Same.
@@justahperson3427 I'm emotionally numb too
I can't even feel pain anymore
"Are you constantly unmotivated?"
Uh... yes. Especially with art.
artblock man
Too many super good artists so I feel redundant and not good enough.
Same man keep pushing
Hi, yes artists block is chronic. I did start to follow some advice recently, he suggested that we draw the same thing for 100 days, I’m nowhere near 100 days in, but, my trees have evolved...(out of sheer boredom probably), things are turning up in the trees...(more boredom, or maybe a little inspiration?)....and I got so sick of trees I started 100 days of something else at the other end of the book. I’ve had lapsed days, trying not to be hard on myself for those, but, other WIP’s are slowly advancing as well. I know, I sound like some kind of success story...lol, it’s 3:15 pm, I’m still in my jammies, and I’ve drawn...and rubbed out the whole of 5 charcoal lines so far today....and today’s tree....well, maybe later. After all....what’s the point? Oh....ART..!
Who asked
Is it just me or is this lady's voice rlly comforting.
I was mostly numb to sadness and happiness, but anger was always there. Then I got into a relationship with my girlfriend and I started to slowly feel sadness and happiness more, and now I am back to feeling stuff again. It’s amazing
so u telling me i should find a girlfriend to get over this
Can we get a “8 signs that you should check into a mental hospital” asking for a friend.
1. You're a risk to yourself or others
2. Delusions
3. If you can't control your disorder on your own
oh.
1. you've gotten to that stage where you're asking if you should check into a mental hospital... seriously. don't let it go before its too late. or at least seek counseling if that's not enough ask them about further resources. best of luck xx
Don’t take going to a mental hospital lightly but if you’re no longer able to take care of yourself then certainly check in. You should look into assigning a power of attorney so that if you ever do enter into a state of psychosis someone other than yourself can get you out of the hospital. Without a power of attorney you may be stuck in the hospital for weeks. Also, being in a psychiatric ward may also cause more stress and trigger you in ways that make your situation worse. Just thought this might be useful.
When you're a feminist
I can't cry no matter what... But I can feel emotions pretty well but I just can't cry no matter what.... I'm pretty ok
Same, and it's annoying
same i cant cry but the only emotions are: anger and sadness...
Same
SAMEEEE
Yeah that's my problem I get sad but I can't cry so my emotions stay inside of me until one day they just explode
I've been emotionally numb for years thanks to depression, which came onto me like a ton of bricks with no warning. I've started taking mindful meditation sessions and its been helping. Apparently I was even dissociating from myself and my body. It has been a struggle, but I refuse to give up. The symptoms described here is very much like it is. She hit the nail on each one.
You need to repent to god to take the numbness away sinning and not repenting causes your conscience to become seared thats the problem and it causes you to become emotionally numb the only cure is to accept jesus and cry out to god for mercy.
@@Macdonald-we4gx You and I don't believe in the same God.
@@chicodepuertorico1450 who you believe in?
@@chicodepuertorico1450 well thats the only real god and thats the only way to be healed from sin in life is by repenting ask him to reveal himself to you deeply and keep asking him all the time and maybe something amazing might happen for you.
@@Macdonald-we4gx Certainly not the White, Jewish god. This is immaterial and I don't understand why you're here.
I got diagnosed with depression after showing up with these symptoms to a therapist. My therapy has helped me to feel and live life again!
When you realize internet is taking more care of you than your litreal parnets
😂😂😂... Exactly
Lit real parnets ok
One week of my grandma being over and she has noticed more then my parents in 15 years
Truly. I've never had a *litreal parnets* . But I did have literal parents for sure :D XD
@@Blondiekuy Wow didn’t you tell your parents
I miss crying and being sad all the time. Rather that then to not feel anything at all. I guess I've been depressed for so long that my body can't cope anymore and just shuts down instead.
... Y'know this explains alot in my life-
Everything feels like such a fog now. I get it.
I like that I don't cry anymore, that emotion annoyed me A LOT, because why should I careif someone makes my life hell, I mean it ain't gonna hurt like they want it to.
care if*
this .
It's been 40 days since my father has passed away....I've become emotionally numb since he left and despite trying I still cant cry
Your voice is very soothing.I hope this will help
" does every activity feel like a chore?"
Me: *spits out my shot of apple juice again* All. The. Time.

me, and apathetic ~meh~
ShxdowAxsthxtics i feel you,,,,watching tv and most activities i used to do for fun is now a thing on my to do list and i do just to feel little less disappointed in myself
@@riaaaa4299 same
me: no i’m not emotionally numb
also me: avoids best friends and family for no reason even tho it would probably make me feel happy to spend time with them
Same! Although somewhere inside, I do know that I don't feel happy with being them. I have toxic family & friends. Yet, still, I feel much safer when I'm in my home. Idk what's wrong with meh (?)
Naw maybe you’re experiencing the need for some peace and time for yourself currently :) as a producer, this is common, you just take time to reflect and make change and wish for better and then you go from there 💕
It’s nice to know it’s not just me. I don’t understand it either except to say maybe I’m looking for peace. I have a mostly toxic family and 1 good friend left, out of a lot that I thought were my friends. I lost my sister 4 years ago to cancer, she was basically my other half. Since then I haven’t wanted
to spend time with anyone or make any new friends. This might sound bad but my dog is my best friend, he’s always been there for me.
omg same...
I’ve been avoiding my friend for days now and it’s not cause I don’t like her, she’s a really good friend it’s just I tend to ghost people when I’m feeling pressured or stressed and idk why I feel like a bad person
wow, that indecisive one hit so hard. i can never make strong decisions. whenever my parents ask me something i mumble because i dont want to be wrong or not say what they wanted to hear. thanks for letting me realise this!
I felt like I was about to cry at how close this video hit at home, but no tears came rolling down
“5. You’re really indecisive”
me, literally: y’know i’m really not sure about that one, i could be but i just don’t- wait a minute.
your comment makes me laugh thank you
Bruh😂😂 same
“Stop, wait a minute-“
Heheheh, ik that feeling
dude fml once my mom asked me if i wanted to eat lunch and i said : "umm idk whatever u want" (cs i say it basically all the time) and she was like what???
i cant even make a normal decision 😞
It’s just like there’s a cloud over my brain. Everything is clouded and diluted. I honestly just miss being emotional.
It's something I would say is like, Highly sensitive children who get emotionally insentive parents and family
could be brainfog too
@@gaynutbuster I think I’m just desensitized for some reason. People often tell me that I never smile. It’s like I always have a poker face or whatever. The truth is I’m not hiding any emotions. They just don’t exist. Honestly man it strips away what makes life worth living. I feel worthless.
@@Kazwire I feel you. I haven’t felt true excitement for anything in so long.
@@carsonbeckett5947 same here
Excitment feels like a distant memory
I feel this very strongly when family members say that they love me or care about me. I feel like I should feel the same, but I just feel empty and apathetic inside… which makes me feel guilty.
Omg same🤕
if you need help go talk to your friends, family and people you trust, life can be great and will get even better after the pandemic ends so do not waste it and life have a lot of good experiences and memories that are gonna make you think it was all worth it, a lot of people who tried to end their lives remember that they changed their mind and are happy to be alive, if necessary search for help in the internet and if you can afford it call a therapist "ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" also do not be shy to call for help.
Even i am emotionally numb now and looking for treatment but the voice in this video is ❤️. Whoever is the narrator, her voice is so soothing that video feels light.
Please narrate more videos.

@@oliviajade6499 When they say youre indecisive, but you juke em out because nothing matters and you dont care about either one.
Well, this is a good joke, but these 8 signs do not necessarily piggyback off each other. It’s more like you have a few of the signs, not all
@@jacer15923 exactly, and someone still tries to make you choose
Yeah, I would know, I'm apathetic.
damn I thought the title was *"8 signs that you are emotionally dumb"*
Lmaoooo xD
U just stole my comment idea jeeeeez
I can name a few people-
Even tho everything in this video applies to me this shit made laugh. Thanks
You have made me laugh. A rare treat. Good job, thank you.
I just want to burst in tears but I can't, no tears ever come out
i lost a man that was like a dad to me but i can’t cry.

@@IvanchuuuV ooh I also had covid ❤❤ hope you get better❤❤
i had covid and everything tasted bland no flavor but after like a week everything had a bad taste and smell but it recovered like 2 weeks later back to normal
" Its not fun because you expected the worst. "
That hurts.
Again, thank you for reminding me of the WORST moment in my life i want to forget! Anyway, i had number 1 for 1-2 days except the "not caring about your health part" and i had number 6 for an ENTIRE week, i cried myself to sleep every night, feeling guilty of being like how i am. I have recovered after that week and have almost, yes, almost all my emotions back, i only don't have fear back but i don't think i will ever get that back
The fact that everything said is how I feel it's like she was explaining me in couple minutes
In short, we reach the point where we are ready to give up on everything. We feel too much till we can no longer feel and become disconnected from everything, including ourselves.
It's sad honestly it really is, people faking it it makes me sick some people like us actually suffer

Pls help
i have to force myself to cry just so i can actually feel the pain 😔
i want to cry so bad but i just cant anymore, its annoying
Claire Vandersee last time I cried I was kinda forcing myself a little because my mom was crying and didn’t want to seem heartless and then just continued because I related it to all my problems. Hehe 🙃
@@clairevandersee7319 same whenever I watch anime I can't really feel what other s feel regardless of genre e.g if someone dies is said anime I would not even be affected or feel anything at same goes for real life I'm just not even human anymore...

Wait you can make yourself cry? *teach me your secrets*
More power to everyone who is suffering from this I hope you can cry again some day to let it all go and be normal and happy once again .
On an unrelated note, the voice actor's voice is so calm and soothing
I genuinely just don’t feel anything anymore now. I overthink, think I’m things that I’m not and just don’t understand why I’m like this man

I dont feel anything too. I lost my empathy, love to others and I just dont want anything. Thats bad

Feeling of uselessness made me emotionally numb. Shedding tears was easy than a smile. This was not a sudden change but a accumulated effect of life. Now when i self realised something wrong with me begin started to work on myself. Start by visiting new places continuously suprise yourself with something which you have not imagined before. Gain new experiences set your heart ablaze.
a few years back i was depressed i got help now i don’t feel much of anything anymore
Me: hey this sounds a lot like me!
*looks up therapy costs in America*
Me: this isn’t very cash money...
unfortunately it’s a lot of cash and a lot of money
It’s very cash money and that’s the problem..
My mom works as a therapist and she makes the cost cheap so that people can afford it cuz I needed one and we couldn’t, but after making is cheap ppl don’t come cuz they think she is ~ inexperienced ~but she literally read every book and every session that’s why it’s expensive so you know it’s worthy :))
@@nourhanahmed7894 Your mom's doing the lord's work my friend.
Not very cash money at all 😩😩
“You’ve lost interest” as I was swiping out of the video ...
So this is what I have. I've been like this for 2 in a half years and nothing hasn't changed at all man. I really hate being an emotionless coldhearted ass person, but can't do anything about it. This is just how I am, and some people say they wish they had no emotion, but they just don't know that this shit isn't pretty at all.
It’s been a while and I’ve been searching for what’s wrong with me, not anxiety, not depression, not any of the common disorders talked about. I feel numbness
For some reason when ever I experience genuine happiness like having fun, I get very very sad after and I don’t know why
Been feeling like that for 20 years 😞
same
It's a self sabotage, , I know I feel that way too. It's like we dont actually allow ourselves to be happy, to stay in this mode -and no matter in which state we are, we are trying to get out of it . It's annoying and crazy trap, but its curable and its temporary, even of its "always" been this way.
NataMessi thank you, I’m trying to get out of it, I purposely don’t go places I will have fun at so I do not feel that way. I hope you and everyone else are okay and get better.
@@sandhanitiz3r thank you! I know, this feels like trap, kinda self made .. really recommend the book "power of your subconscious mind " by J. Murphy. I'm on it, gives me some insights.
But As said, listening ear is over here, if you need. Take care of yourself, get better soon!
“It can be an early sign of depression”
Me being depressed for the last 5 years: well... true
same
Each time I see the word 'Depression' I reword it to: 'I pressed on'. It peps me up
8/8. I used to be such a kind and empathetic person, always giving to others. Now everything I do feels pointless and empty. I stopped drawing and painting, I lost motivation for soccer, I never play games, and I rarely even talk to my friends. Everything is just so pointless, I'm just going on auto pilot 24/7. I can never remember what I learn in school, or remember parts of my day or week. Its even effecting my dreams. I have nightmares frequently, yet all of my emotions feel so far away, so I'm not even scared during the nightmares. Just blank ◻
I feel the same but i think we should do something about that
I feel tht thank u for this helpful video u made amazing work 👍
Not only has it been confirmed that I'm emotionally numb but I'm secretly depressed too.. WOW!
Please talk to some one my dear...im not saying you would
but lately in my country alot of people been committing suicide...depression is a,silent killer
Not only that but the feelings they bring can become a heavy load to carry by yourself
Seek out someone who will have compassion so it will make it a lil easier for you to express your feelings❤
That makes two of us yeey!
That makes 3!
LMFAOO💀
Same with me but the only thing I do is I try to act like I'm fine & I'm not depressed I try to fight it off but the whole time above my head is a gloomy cloud that will never go away because of my toxic mind & i know I'm going to get over this I have faith this is only to make me stronger & your not alone I'm here with you . Every one of us is going to get through this 💓
