No emotions no thoughts numb

[Honeycas]

Hello I need help I can’t feel my emotions nor hear my thoughts. It’s likme my mind is blank . It’s been like this for 4 years . The dr.s don’t know what I’m talking about . Before I went blank I was have bad anxiety and racing thoughts all the time . Want to know if any one experienced this or has experienced this .

I have felt like this before. It hasn’t lasted for years but weeks for sure. Seems like doing something physical helped me breakthrough. One time after 2 weeks of just yuck numb, I got a shiatsu massage and started crying at end. Another time, yoga helped me get out of it but it took a while. Interestingly therapy did not help when I felt like that.

Are you doing any regular exercise or other physical modality?

I can relate to your experience, although I can only speak for myself. After something disturbing happened to me, I went black, became numb and I had no thoughts or feelings, and an inability to communicate with others. I was listless and I kept telling people 'I can't talk ...I can't talk' and it was like a deadening experience. It lasted for almost a year and during that time I tried to commit suicide..but after that took place, months went by and I met someone who seemed to comprehend what I was going through. This sort of experience happened to me twice, both after having a traumatic experience occur. I hope that you can or will seek out a compassionate therapist, even if it takes checking out a lot of practitioners. You have to believe that there is always a way out, and nowhere to go but up. What I did in response to that pain was really a cry for help because I just couldn't keep on that way...but it is not the answer. It never is in any situation. There is always a way out and persevere; don't settle for less, if that makes sense.
