i feel so numb. So empty. Never been this way. I'm just stressed about tomorrow. It's really new and weird for me. Should I run to a shrink or something?
I\'m sorry you are feeling rubbish hon! The feeling you describe often happens after a traumatic period; I have this too although it\'s getting better now.
While you are in a traumatic situation, you \'can\'t afford to feel like this\' and you are on a high alert, adrenalin pumping. Now the stressor is gone and you are a bit exhausted. Just relax, pamper yourself, learn to love yourself, put yourself first!
Seeing a therapist who is familiar with abusive relationships is always helpful; if you want to have counselling, go and see a few therapists and chose the one who is well-qualified and you have best rapport with.
