When Feeling Numb, Is It Common To Do Something Just To Feel Something?
When feeling numb, is it common to want to do something just to feel? Like drink, have sex or sometimes create physical pain to not feel the emotional pain?
I have been doing stupid stuff like piercing my own ears, since I was a teen. Had more relationships than I should. But once I got my first baby, I have been to scared to do the things I did out of fear of leaving my kids without a mother. So do I sometimes feel numb... Yes... But now I just sleep it off, listen to music or just let myself cry.
I know I have walked down a lot of self destructive paths in order to not feel something. Sometimes not even aware until it is brought to my attention. In my experience, the temporary distraction never lasts and usually end up making my situation worse. If I notice something is up or I am using poor coping skills I usually try to bring it up with my therapist to get some perspective or journal to see if I can find out the root of the problem. Its not fun, but it helps me. Hang in there, stay safe!

Was Wondering On Anyone's Bad Days Do They Ever Feel Numb Inside?
I Was Just Wondering If Anybody Else Has Anxiety Posting In Any Group Because I Feel What I Have To Say Sounds Stupid.
