I’m so sorry to hear that you are experiencing this. It’s extremely difficult to navigate relationships with others and ourselves when we aren’t our usual selves. We often feel disconnected and misunderstood when they cannot recognize us or provide us with empathy in these difficult situations. But I can assure you that nothing is “wrong” with you.

The flat emotional responses you are experiencing are normal stress responses when our minds deal with many things simultaneously. Your brain is attempting to protect you from being overwhelmed by continuous emotional stimuli. It is taking time to process things and wants to create space to facilitate that without you being overwhelmed. This is a normal part of healing, though it’s not easy; you will get through it.

I recommend seeking support from those around you who you trust, whether family/friends or a therapist. (externalizing how you feel to others is extremely helpful!)Try finding ways to reflect on how you are doing, using things like writing, drawing, cooking, and listening to music to help you. Take the time to care for yourself and listen to what you need in the moment.
