Feeling Emotionally Numb or Empty? Here are some tips

Emotional numbness, believe it or not, actually boils down to our bodies’ three evolutionary stress responses: fight, flight, or freeze. When you go through any event in life that is extremely taxing in an emotional or physical way, your body’s survival mechanism is activated and causes your psyche to go into the “freeze” mode.

Sometimes when we feel we're looking for death, we're actually looking for love, mental stability and someone to fill the emptiness we feel inside.

Past is a "waste paper"
Present is a "newspaper"
Future is a "question paper"
So, read and write carefully otherwise life would be a "tissue paper"

I try these things whenever I feel emptiness and hopelessness.
- Crying ( to feel lighter )
- Force myself to think nothing ( because in this mood your mind will create only negative thoughts and that will make this feeling even worse )
- Remind myself "This too shall pass!"

I know in the moment it still feel terrible but hang in there buddy, you're not alone.

And when you cling to a person that was all for you and suddenly she is not anymore with you :'(

[miauchiha]

Honestly speaking, even when I feel empty or mentally disturbed, whenever I watch your videos, the adorable art, animation, soothing voice and uplifting message makes it all vanish away in a jiffy.

Thank you so much and keep up the great work!💓

I have lost my emotions and I don't know what I am doing. I just want to fell warm again and have a simple sleep, a dream that I never wake up from. I don't know if someone is there in future reading but if you are pls don't wake me up.

I love this art style so much! The lightly dulled color scheme, the casual, yet detailed and clear drawings, the cartoonish and exaggerated character, how well the emotions and feelings are captured, the references to everyday activities, and everything else! So great!
