General Ptsd Sufferers Cant Feel The Love Emotion?

[naturebaby_85]

Sad but true. I quite often find myself feeling numb. Sometimes wonder if I love my partner. Sometimes wonder if I can ever love again. It is like a void of nothingness.

Anna, I really related to your message! I felt like you were in my head when I read that! I too envy those that can feel love, I wish I could remember how it felt! I grieve the old me that could feel love, that felt joy in the simplest of things.

We will eventually get there again, but I too really miss that feeling, the feeling of feeling POSITIVE feelings.. I'm pretty damn good at feeling the negative ones! gr.

I have trouble loving. Loving is a behavior that requires being vulnerable and letting go and trusing. I just dont feel capable right now. I know that I do love people but it has been flattened by the effects of ptsd. I dont receive love but understand as we reap what we sew.
