Is this what detachment will look like, feeling numb?


Detachment as I understand it is simply achieving enough personal growth that we give up the unhealthy attachments we have to our WAS so that it doesn't impact our mental state in a way that allows us to make desperate, unfruitful, or harmful decisions. It means accepting control of ourselves, and accepting that we can't control anything but our decisions and behaviors.

Just like in every area of life, if you're anything like me, your feelings will change a lot, but the goal is not to base your decisions solely on them or act obsessively/compulsively, but to do what is healthy, right, and what works.
