Why do I feel so numb all the time?

You feel numb because you simply cannot feel anything else. It's all crashing down on you, and suddenly you can't breathe, so you want to be able to choose that. You shut down so you don't have to feel, so you don't have expectations or emotional problems. Other times it isn't a choice; It just happens, because you're scared and alone and that hurts. Your mind says you don't want to feel, so you begin not to.

The answer is in you hun. You're expert on you, so inside you maybe there is something that's making you feel like that. What about if you look for it?

If you're feeling "numb", it could be a sign of depression. If this has persisted for a while now, I would suggest going to see a doctor to find out what's going on.

i am the same way......but its only because i dont know what i want to do with my life.....i started doing new things i usually dont do and i started writing all the things i need to improve now im back on the write track.....just try to push yourself away from what makes you sad or numb. right when you feel it so exercise or do some to distract yourself... you feel that what your doing is pointless probable or don't see a point to doing anything my advice is if you don't get any enjoyment out of doing the things you used to love then try doing something with a friend or family member that they love at least then you have a reason to do something that's not pointless

I believe the reason that you feel that way is because in your mind you are telling yourself you feel that way. Its like if I tell my self over and over and over that I am ugly, I will start to believe it, but If I tell my self that I am cute, repetitively and change my mind set I will start to believe I am cute. Its all about the mindset and mentality you have

It may because you do not know what to feel. You may be confused with your emotions that you don't have any at all.

Feeling numb when u feel like messed up...life seems narrow and dark but what you all have to do is ignore darkness...look for almighty in small things...be grateful to what u r left with..and miracles will happen

Sometimes we feel numb because it is our body or mind's way of protecting us. If we are in danger, our mind may "check out" so to speak...become foggy...make so that we don't feel every little thing around us. Helps us not remember small details as well. Unfortunately, sometimes our mind plays tricks on us and remembers feeling like we are in danger even if we are not. This may lead to us feeling numb even when it is not going to protect/help us.

Perhaps, like me, you were afraid to feel. It's tempting to want to feel numb when you're suffering every day. However, it's not worth forfeiting your joy-- happiness is a whole other spectrum of life that, if numb, one cannot experience.

A lot of things can lead to feeling emotionally numb Depression sometimes become so severe that you feel a complete absence of emotion in regards to everything. Frequently for myself, when I become over tired and over stressed for a long period of time I become numb because it is to exhausting to feel any emotion at that time. Something that helps me, is to sit down with my therapist or a friend and reflect on the day and really figure out how I feel about things that happened. It's kind of like forcing myself to feel in order to creak the cycle.
