Too numb to even cut

For as long as I can remember I've always hurt myself when I'd get upset. Anyway you could think of just short of breaking bones. About a year and a half ago I took cutting back up and I used to cut all the time. A lot. In fact the last time I did cut was only about two or three weeks ago, but now I feel nothing. Before, when I would cut, there would be such a build up of emotions and I would release them by cutting but now I'm so numb I don't know if I'd even feel anything and it's scary because I've always been an emotional person. I just don't know...

Here if you wanna talk. I know how scary it is to feel numb and no matter what you try that numbness remains. all i can say is that talking helped to get me to a slightly less numb place so i'm here to listen if you ever want to talk.

I just wish I was at a point where I could feel something. I'm so used to being emotional that this is sort of scary. Talking has helped a little I suppose but I've only just begun I guess, I mean it's only been about 4 or so days since I started confronting everything. I just want to know that I'll be better and I know that no one can give me a real definate answer... I'm trying though.

I feel really distant. Like I'm detatched from everything except my disgusting thoughts. I hope my meds help.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
