i've hit that point of emotional distress where i'm wallowing in so much pain and sadness, that i'm numb. the world is just spinning around me and i don't even notice it because i can not feel anything, which is up there on the worst feelings ever list.

I feel detached, like I'm watching myself do things. Its like I can feel connected for a few minutes but if I get the least bit distracted by anything else, I'm gone again. I feel as if I'm waiting for the next bad thing to happen

Recently, I lost someone to suicide. I've been mourning his death, crying, screaming, blaming myself. But now I just feel numb. I feel empty. I don't know why but I just don't feel anything inside.

Going through all of those emotions is a part of the grieving process. Losing someone who takes their own life is a very difficult thing to handle. You have to remember that there was nothing you could have done to change what has been done or all the what if I did this what if I did that. You need to mourn and go through all the stages and remember the one you lost as they are in a better place and would want you to remember them in a positive way

I'm not sure. I feel lost. I feel broken. I feel numb. I need help. I want to be happy.

Emotional pain gone physical.

Self harm is a way of releasing that physical pain. I use to self harm you need to look deep down inside what is causing all of the emotional pain and then move forward how you can better cope and move forward to a positive lifestyle

I've been a lot better. I've had a rough time emotionally since school started back, but I'm trying to overcome that. This weekend was my new starting point. I am trying to get to a point where when I hear about a certain person..or something related to them that I'm not just overwhelmed with all those years of abuse and emotions all over again.

Like a pulsing throb in the head, a confused heart pulled by thread.

I feel...I actually don't know. I'm sad..angry...but I don't actually feel anything. I was doing so well for about a day and a half. I tried not letting all that bull**** get to me. I failed miserably. I wanna give up all over again. Would it really be so bad?

I honestly feel like I'm not truly living my days. What I mean is I'm just going through the motions of living: having to eat, go to class, sleep, etc. But I can't necessarily say I am feeling happy or content, or even sad. It's almost like a numbness I can't break out of.

Just make sure you don't stop going through the motions! Keep getting yourself out of bed and doing the things you have to do in life. Stopping makes it so much worse. Deep breath, you'll get there.

Anxious, stressed, depressed, self-loathing, and guilty. But no, I have to act like it's all fine. Yeah, I'm just peachy. ugh
