Has anybody ever gone numb emotionally?

I know this may sound like a silly question, but has anybody else gone numb for a short while emotionally. I don’t know why it gets to that point, but I think it probably has something to do with life in general and all life’s b.s that a person can literally run out of f**** to give. What do you guys think or have you ever felt like this or similar?

Level 9

After a very stressful period, both at work and in my first marriage, I suffered a bout with depression and had to take an antidepressant. Te antidepressant left me emotionally numb and that was worse than the depression and I stopped taking it.

Level 7

Yes, a couple of times. After the divorce from my first husband and after the death of my second. Both times lasted about 6 months.

It happens a lot with antidepressants for some people, though it doesn't sound like that's specifically what you mean. I've experienced it without them, though it's been some time. If you feel like talking might help, don't hesitate.

Level 4

I did at a time and then I realized I have control over all of my emotions and it's truly my choice on how long all that negative BS in this world affects me
