I Feel Emotionally Detached and Empty Inside

I started feeling this way from the age of 13 onwards. A lot of bad things were happening and I had nobody to turn to. I self-harmed a lot and was eventually put on Prozac when I was 16. It helped me deal with things better I suppose...

I don't remember a time when I didn't know that I had a gift. I am so much more than just an empath, but I have built such a wall around myself that I not only keep other people out but I also keep myself within. I am so afraid to open...

This idiotic looking person, reflected in my mirror, who is it?
With your shield called logic, this jealousy in your lonely heart.
Yes, even if I am, always trying my best in this society
Everyone around me is an enemy, criticizing me...

My birthday is happening this week. Eversince I could remember, birthdays were very simple affairs for me. It would usually involve dinner with my family. I've got no complaints. My mom has pictures of huge birthdays parties when I was...

Seeing the state of the world, I feel very "sensitive" towards everything wrong (and right) with the world. I have come to realize not to make huge investments in anything, including family. Ironically, I am a soul who hates people but...

I have tried to be a good person, but my life has had so many obstacles . As a baby I was the 2Nd child born to a young mother who miscarried me at 24 weeks. The priest baptized me and gave me the blessing of the sick. My mom already...

I need insight..I don't want to shut down. I am going to sum it up by saying I lost both my parents when I was 11, and 12. Things were always rocky and I have gone through some abuse, though I can't make it out clearly. I am a college...

So I just came back from Bangkok a few days ago. The trip was a last minute getaway for me. Birthdays weren't really a big deal for me. Just dinner with family and that's about it. I don't have friends who would bring me out to have a...

Sometimes I wonder, when I am crying or hurting and can't see and end, if feeling nothing at all would be such a bad thing. I mean, all the hurt and sadness I feel would go away.................... But then I think of the occasional...

Im only 18 and im already tired of life. I know i shouldnt feel this way already but i do. I go to school everyday, which i absolutely hate, and deal with the same **** everyday. Im so tired of it. I only have 2 months until graduate...

I've never been very emotional, and it's never been a conscious decision.  I have watched loved ones die with few tears shed.  I have the "ability" to sever all emotional ties with someone in an instant, which is cool, I...

I just feel so.. Empty. Yeah, empty, that describes how I feel perfectly.
Even my best friend has mentioned I have acted weird lately..
It's just that, I feel so blank, like all of my emotions have run out, they are gone and aint coming...

I feel like I'm damaged and I don't know what to do anymore. I feel detached from everyone. I don't have friends. I don't feel anything for my boyfriend. I don't know. I am going crazy

This world is full of disappointments and overly dramatized happy endings; I know that now.
For a while I had been addicted to reading "Minutes in Heaven" quizzes on quizilla.com. It hurts too much to do that now. I read them now and my...

I think I may have gone crazy. But I suppose I've been crazy for quite some time now. I don’t even really remember the days when I was truly sane. I want to tell my mom how I feel, but she’ll probably not even care. I don’t think...

Atm I feel nothing
I had my heart broken and I went numb
There is no real pain
Just a dull ache in my chest
I don't feel it in my heart
I don't even know if its still there
I feel SOOO empty
I feel so numb
It will fade
And I...

Dammit , why did I see this group before signing off for the day ? Brain still works fine , check ; body functioning , check ; soul ... soul ? ( no response ) Awww , crap , where'd it go ? For months , years maybe , this has been the...

I feel out of place here. No one really understands me and doesn't bother to. I don't ask for much, or anything for that matter. Can I just be treated like a normal human being? I like being talked to and included in social things...
