I feel emotionally numb to my partner, friends and situations. I don't feel happy or sad, just on a constant equal level. When good things happen I feel I am just playing the game of being excited whether it effects me or others. My partner has broken down in tears in front of me and I felt like a robot hugging him. I have completely lost the need or want for my partners touch. I have had a fair number of big life/personal events over the last 8 years, losing my sister due to cancer, double mastectomy for me, new baby, death of mother in law within 2 weeks of baby born and taking on younger sister in law with a multitude of mental illness and self harm problems to cope with just to name a few.
I am generally a very sociable person and do still see my friends and family but lack enjoyment.
Can anyone else relate? is it because my life is so much different as a mum now? What do you suggest I do to help myself "feel" again?
