Is numbness normal?

Today I am feeling numb and wondering if others experienced the same. I feel nothing for my N today....no love, no hate, no cravings, no anger, no sickness, no interest! I couldn't even answer the forum question about the worst thing you ever witnessed your N do to someone....I drew a blank, couldn't think of anything for the longest time! I have been on the wildest rollercoaster of feelings and it had just suddenly stopped. I hate to feel numb....my N she told me she felt that way so many times and I always thought she was being terribly insensitive and cold. I don't want to be like that at all...so this feels a little scary to me.

Thanks for any input :)

I was totally numb for the first two months after he left - did not even start missing him or processing the loss until after 3 months apart.

ABC is right Kauaigirl

We go numb when some really powerful emotions are trying to surface, it's the body's way of protecting itself...numb for a time is okay, just don't get caught up in the cycle of suppression...let it out.. Hugs

Yes!

It's a good thing and won't last forever. I think it's a defense mechanism.

I was feeling really numb

I was feeling really numb after the roller-coaster ride was over and I don't think it's that much of a problem unless it goes on for a long time and turns into a depression. So I'd say it's pretty normal. I'm feeling indifferent to my ex-N today, mixed with a bit of anger and I am glad that I feel this way rather than the emotional roller coaster he had put me on. I remember feeling really EXHAUSTED when the ride was over. I am pretty sure, feelings will come back
