Numbness for a Long Time - Anyone Relate?

Not open for further replies.
I learned at an early age that being numb to emotions can prevent hurting. I have now learned because of PTSD that the numbness just covers up the emotional aspect, but brings out a physical pain that far exceeds the numbness I used to feel.
That may not make sense to anybody. My emotional pain has become a physical pain. I bury it all away...

It make perfect sense to me. My emtional pain seeps through me in physical pain, yet my brain is not ready to process it as emotional pain. The human body is going to bring the trauma to the surface in anyway it can.
