V, your insights are amazing. I've currently entered a "numb" phase...even my cheeks feel numb. I wonder what this is all about? I almost feel like I've just had so much to deal with that my body is protecting me from anymore trauma by numbing me, literally, to all that is going on.
Is this possible? If so, how long does such a state continue? I don't know if I should be worried or not.
I feel like my mind is solidly in place for a change, though. For a while, I was full of racing thoughts, panic, and outright fear. I'm thinking just fine, reflecting, and planning my next moves. I'm just so numb, though. It's almost like I'm outside myself while I'm doing what I have to do. It's the weirdest feeling.
