Idk if this is weird but I'm currently going through it, whenever there's the possibility for me to feel bad my brain just shuts off emotions for a while. No sadness no happiness no energy. I guess it's like a survival mechanism to make me focused and rational in high-stakes scenarios but my brain considers experiencing a bit of anxiety to be high stakes enougj to just turn off the feelings. It's more just annoying and boring because it means that I don't enjoy anything that much.
Something will happen that would upset me, and I just go "Ah well". I can't cry anymore which bothers me also
This is really relatable. I've been trying to put my finger on what's going on with me and this is definitely part of it
