What does it mean when you don’t feel very much at all?

[Anonymous]

One day I was going to the mall when I spun out of control. I didn’t feel scared just… stressed for a few seconds. I felt a little bit disoriented before I realized I never hit anyone. I pulled over walked around my vehicle seen that I had no damage besides the fact that I hydroplaned because it was wet and took the turn too soon.

For most people after something like that happens is that they feel scared. They just want to go home they hyperventilate. Once I realized that I felt nothing…. I just went to the mall and shopped like nothing ever happened.

I used to think this was normal until realizing other peoples responses to things that to me would be nothing. But to them was very different

You realized that nobody was hurt. Your higher brain functions took over and you calmed down.

Maybe it’s normal I don’t know. I never felt scared just extremely stressed. But there was no real feeling of relief it was just… back to normal.

This is a good thing. Take the win.

Seek professional help to explore potential underlying emotional or psychological factors.

Overall I’m a happy person. I just feel very little shock or fear anymore. Maybe it was LEO experience. I don’t know…

It just sounds like a particularly bad day to me.
Inevitably, the following day could be a particularly good day, and so forth.

It was a very good day. Except that

As I mentioned, if first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Always try and deflect the stress of the day.
