I expect a roasting for this but be nice if you can find it in yourself...

Anyone else experiencing a completely numb/ don't care attitude towards those who are vulnerable, in immediate family and beyond who could get covid and die.

I don't cate about dying myself, it would be a bonus but it's odd how I can't feel anything.

Everyone I talk to (via phone obviously) expresses concern for their family whom they cannot visit or do stuff for. What ifs.... it's the last time they speak, what if they die, isn't it all awful. I feel nothing at all. It's weighing on my mind because while at a conscious level I'm not bothered i know that is really wrong.

Only exception are my kids but even then it's mild concern vs what I read most people thinking / doing

I have history of severe depression anxiety and trauma which comes with a side serving of dissociation but this is extra weird.

I feel not dissimilar. I put it down to the unreality of the situation. The fact you’re asking shows you care in some level! I think it’s just too much for your brain to process, especially if it’s already been affected by trauma

Actually, I hear you. I don’t wish badness on anyone but I’m pretty chilled about all this.
