That’s the worst feeling (well, unfeeling) in the world.
At the onset of my depression, I remember that I was constantly bombarded with feelings. Sadness, anger, shame, fear, confusion. Every minute of the day. I remember wishing desperately for some kind of respite— I would’ve given anything to feel numb.
When I finally got my wish, however, I quickly realized that numbness is the cruelest torture ever devised. There’s nothing at all like it. I’m so, so sorry that you have to go through it. No one deserves that.
Is really the worst feeling? I doubt this. Fear is the worst feeling. The problem with this feeling, numbness, is that it lasts more time. This feeling is a reaction to other feelings.

emptiness can be like breathing after being caught in a house fire.
