I've felt good until a lot of trauma happened in my life around age 9, and I experienced this strange numbness that almost felt like a whisper far away. I didn't understand what it was until just this year; I thought it was just part of growing up, but it has worsened over the years. I'm guessing it's burnout and emotional numbness, i kinda feel the emotions but they feel like they are under a curtain. When i cry my body stops me, BUT I don't know how to feel alive again or how to cope with it either. Any advice on how to overcome and manage experiences of burnout and emotional numbness?
