I became so anxious that this happened...

...See more Hey. Last night was a rough night. A friend of mine was going through some seriously tough times. And that really upset me. So much so that I conducted another emotional breakdown. But it gets worse, because then as we were talking she shared an aggravatingly sad fact about herself. And that was just the tipping point for me. I got so anxious and so upset on her behalf that my brain shut down. In other words, I'm currently suffering from emotional numbness. She didn't mean to hurt me so bad. But it is what it is. She feels terrible about accidentally doing this to me. Which would normally make me feel bad. But as you guessed, nothing. I don't even feel love for my boyfriend. I still love him, but I don't feel the love. Anyway, I went through all of today feeling nothing. The emotions were there, but I just didn't feel them. Until me and her chatted tonight. And I already feel a very slight amount cured. I even smiled slightly a few times. I wish to know how long it will roughly take to be cured, given it's not PTSD induced numbness, merely anxiety induced, the fact that she was able to help me, and the fact that I'm trying to get exercise, sufficient sleep and avoid stressful situations. If you need more info before you can answer that however, I'll be happy to provide. Thanks for hearing me out.

...See more Hey. I'm kinda in a rough situation right now. I've had very strong empathy for as long as I can remember. And I met this friend in early 2019 that I talk to almost every day. And she has had the worst past. Almost every time we talked she would share a new sad story about her past, and she's far from done. Anyway, in the past few weeks I've been having a lot of trouble stomaching her new stories. Last night I cried for a long time, and I almost never cry. But tonight is when it started to get really bad. She told another story. And I started having trouble breathing and started shaking. And the pain... The emotional pain in my heart was unbearable. And it went on for a very long time. Much longer than I'm used to. I asked my friends for advice and they said lie down and breathe slowly. I did. But then the scary thing happened. I twitched really badly and at the exact same time I felt pain. Nothing but emotional pain. Not just in my heart but everywhere in my body. It engulfed me. I've never experienced this before. And there was no stimuli. For the first time I felt the pain for no reason. I wasn't thinking of her stories, I wasn't thinking of anything. Just all of a sudden, bam. Pain. I'm scared. Do any of you know what's wrong with me? And how to go about this? Any answers/advice would be greatly appreciated.

...See more TFW one of your best friends turns out to be a douche who hates you. It's a shame. I had fun RolePlaying and drawing with him. He was the only reason I kept my DeviantArt account. Guess I can get rid of that now.

...See more I can't even think straight right now. Pain is all there is. Years upon years of loss and I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm not suicidal, I'm too strong to do that. What I am though is concerned that my brain is undergoing physical damage right now because the pain is just so intense. There is nothing. All there is is pain.
