Why do I feel so numb all the time?

Numbness. I'm unsure whether you can call it a feeling, or the lack thereof, but it was a struggle. Albeit one that is completely normal for those going through depression. When our world starts to implode, we often shut everything out, and that can include your own emotions. It's a survival strategy that we adopt just to get through each day, because otherwise it would be too painful to exist. We begin to wonder whether to numbness will go away, and in truth it will, but it just takes time. It all begins with a step to saying that emotions are okay to be felt and it's not a bad thing to feel sadness or anger. Emotions are a part of us, and the numbness will subside when we accept and move through them.

Sometimes we feel numb because we disconnect ourselves from our own bodies in order to be safe from bad things we experience in our lives.

i guess because of : 1- something you've been holding inside from long or short time (feelings about sth/regret/guilt ..) 2- daily routine, doing the same activities day after day can you numb or depressed . 3-inside-emptiness

the reason for you to feel numb might be the fact that you have ended overtinking about a certain thing and have ignored the importance of our present...

Perhaps you have forgotten to be grateful. Remember to be grateful. Try meditation and mindfulness. Do something that makes you feel alive. Be spontaneous.

you feel numb all the time because you are spending too much time holding on tight to the things that are causing you pain.. Learn to let go :)

Maybe because you've been trying to bottle up everything inside that it later causes you to feel that way.

for me it was either because an event that happened or an event that's not happening; - a lot of event when happen makes us feel numb. - procrastination was the thing that made me feel numb mostly

This isn't really a question I can give a specific answer to. I can really only guess. Maybe you feel so numb because you are not in touch with your feelings. Maybe you have not been able to distinguish your feelings from each other so you do not really know what you are feeling. Maybe you just had some major life experience and things just seem awful at the moment. All I can say is that things will get better, I promise you.

Find joy. Or something to feel angry or sad about. Look at beautiful things. Maybe you stopped seeing.
