Unfortunately I threw my heart to the dogs. Never mind. No one will notice how much is missing from the inside, will they?

"In that moment I knew the jury was mine but then, out of no where came this panic that something was terribly wrong. It's taken me nine months to understand what happened next."

The horrors persist but I'm too emotionally wrung out and numb to pay them any mind

Whumpee who's just. So numb. So totally incapable of doing... Anything. They have to be bathed, hand-fed, kept in a soft, quiet room with their caretaker. It's the only way they feel safe.

if you can't feel anything, it's okay too. don't push yourself, take care, take a huge breath and try to do whatever you can little by little. it's all fine. getting through a day is becoming really difficult lately, so be proud of yourself for doing so even if it meant closing off/disconnecting from yourself. feelings will come again the moment you'll feel ready to come back to yourself, to your core, and get in touch with yourself again.

About numbness. An excerpt from my little notebook.

[theresnosafeharbor4myships]

People often mistake numbness for nothingness, but numbness isn't the absence of feelings; it's a response to being overwhelmed by too many feelings.
