Emotional numbing refers to limiting the emotional response to external and internal events. It can be a symptom of a health problem or a side effect of various medications.
First of all, it should be understood that not everyone experiences emotional numbness in the same way. But if you realized and did not want or react to the events or situations that you used to react to, then you are likely experiencing it. If you're in a situation of sadness or happiness, and you don't feel either, chances are you're emotionally numb.
Other distinctive signs are:
Persistently low energy and motivation
Indifference to things and people that previously interested you
A feeling that nothing is worth anything
Feeling disconnected from yourself and the things in your life
Lack of habits and facial expressions that show how you feel
People who have tried it explain the emotional numbness as a feeling of emptiness and lack of courage, while others say they feel isolated.
This syndrome is generally caused when the person is going through a stressful situation, it also occurs in those who have suffered a traumatic event.
It can be a side effect of certain medications and is felt in those individuals who have specific mental health problems.
You should note that this condition is generally temporary and may last a few days. To help yourself you can keep a balanced diet, try to sleep 7 or 8 hours and do physical activity, even if you can't help yourself you can be treated with therapists.
