Indifferent?

Does anyone feel this way?

I suppose some would describe it as cold or unfeeling?

I adore my children and feel genuine love for them but it stops at that. I might feel sorry for other people when things are hard but not as much as others seem to.

My boss even told me that I don't let anyone inConfused when we were chatting about a difficult situation I was going through.

I've felt indifferent about many aspects of life for quite a while and (can only say it here) if I found myself on my own and relationship ended I don't think I'd fall apart. I would be sad but it wouldn't be end of the world. Is that weird?

I've a lot on my plate right now, chronic health conditions, seriously ill parent, child with a never ending list of medical and school/behavioural issues that are yet to be resolved, stressful full time job.

Why do I feel so detached from everything? I feel a bit numb if that makes sense

Maybe it's subconscious self-preservation: it doesn't sound like you have the luxury of cracking up? As for letting people in, sometimes other people's emotions about our situation are an added burden we just don't need.

Yes I kinda do, I feel empty. But I'm thinking I'm starting the menopause and am quite possibly depressed.
