i’m never excited about things anymore, enthusiastic, upset, interested, scared/

just blahhh.

i stare blankly at words in books and newspapers, not taking anything in, i stare at films and the television and can’t pay attention. i stare out my office window at the sky… but do not have any profound thoughts, or thoughts of any kind.

do not ever wish you could not feel. to feel is to be alive. to be numb and not feel is to be dead.

i had a period when i went through the same thing. i was really stupid! i did really stupid things to get a adrenaling rush. or did silly things to become upset on purpose. try amd do the same thing but instead dont be stupid like i was—i lost a lot of mates along the way.

i used to be like you… too many things on my mind to sleep even.

nothing has happened, which is the problem. life just turned out to be bland… daily routine of office work. no stimulation. sometimes i want to jump out of a plane or in icy water to remind myself i am still alive.

I’ve been dead inside for a year. Less than 4 hours of sleep per night… It’s brutal. I know how you feel.

Do something to remind yourself you’re alive then. Go on a random vacation, quit your job, be spontaneous. You ARE alive, you just have to remember to play the part. Act it and the feelings will follow

ok, I am dead inside for over 25 years. I learned to live with it, but I think you dont have to be like me. Did something happen to you few months back that may have caused you to feel the way you do now?

ok sorry about this but im yeh/me’s m8 and she was really stupid and forgott how to logg in and all of that. soo here is what she says.

“at first i spent loads of time doing things i would normaly regret, but for some reason i didn’t regret doing them. i then stopped doing this and learned to forget about it over time. i spent alot of time wth close mates and did silly daring things with out getting into to much trubble. after time i thought i was heartless and would be like this for ages. but then it came back. i dont know why and i dont know how. maybe it was looking at photos of the past–all the goood times, and sad which had lots of feelings behind them. maybe that triggered it”

i feel the same way, i try to do things spontaneous like moving to other countries and traveling but even that doesn’t do anything for me anymore.

Please read up on Kabbalah. www.ukabbalah.com has some free courses. I believe the information will resonate deep within you and answer the questions that have been causing so much pain.

Maybe you should pray. I felt like this for a long time, about three years. I eventually prayed that I could find myself again and it worked. Now I can live again. So learn from my example if you want to feel again.
