Girlfriend says she feels numb?

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend and I are going through a tough time. We are taking a break and she says she feels numb about everything, towards me, to herself, to everything. I am in love with her and she is confused, she says feeling anything is painful and she just wants to be dead inside for a while. She said she is done feeling for the time being? What is she even talking about? She sounds like someone who is in love but got hurt. But I never hurt her and I love her. What could she mean? Any ideas? She said being dead for a while will give her strength to make a decision later? I am so lost and hurt and worried for her...

Im not sure how old this post is but I've gone through the same thing. You may have done something, but it also may not be related to you at all. My girlfriend lived in California. One day she decided she was headed down hill there so she packed up and her and her son moved all the way across the country to live with her grandparents and to go to school. She left all her friends and family back in Cali. She quickly found out that it wasn't going to be as easy as she thought. We actually met at school. The first few months were great, but then reality set in about her move and things got rough. She became numb. She still hasn't completely adapted but she's trying. I suggest if you really care for her, you show her by continuing to support her and just be very understanding. there's gonna be times when she is going to need her space, give it to her. Dont lose hope. Dont try to fix her, just be there to listen when she starts to vent. If you can stick it out, then there is hope itll work out

She's going through her own shit there's nothing you can do, wait it out and if it doesn't get better it'll prolly be over I'm afraid.

Okay, you're going through a tough time but you never hurt her? I sincerely doubt that, no offence.

Chances are she is either having interpersonal issues, you had done something you didn't realize, etc. I say just try to talk to her and ask her what is triggering all of this and what she wants to do to fix it.

You doubt that? Who are you to think you know if he's ever hurt her or not. Whats wrong with people today!

She feels she has to put her heart in a locked cage in the closet, to gain perspective on the relationship mentally. Once all the "love" emotions are out of the picture, a person isn't blocked by trees but on the mountain looking down.

She's emotionally drained.

How so though? What do you mean?

[Prettygurl12]

She's spent all her emotional energy dealing with whatever it is between you two that caused this break. She's done. She's emotionally spent. She is void of feeling right now.

But what she has spent her energy on may not be you
