Have any of you got into an argument with someone and felt so numb at one point that anything they said or did couldn't hurt you... like you just wanted them to scream at you and yell at you just saying what they felt... I had a huge argument with my parents today. They were both yelling at me and my father was like 'is that good enough' and I was like NO just keeping going. Like I wanted it. But I had no feeling. It has never happened to me before and I am so confused as to what that means. I'm hurting now but at the point in the fight, I felt like I was ready to hear anything. like bring it on. I'm just really confused and I'm not sure if that is a good thing. I'm in so much pain right now and I just feel like I yell and no one hears me.

I think i use ED to numb me. I developed it during an abusive relationship and sometimes when he was yelling and pinning me down or pushing me or smacking me round the head i didn't feel upset, just disconnected and numb. If i try to i feel the pain of it all now, so i am numbing myself with ED again. I think it can be a vicious circle, we can use ED to numb us, but then it numbs us from everything, and we feel invincible, when of course we are far from it. xx

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
