Do you ever stop feeling pain?

[Wakawaka]

I've always thought that i was disassociated from my life/emotions but what do i honestly know. i remember crying alot, feeling overwhelmed, my anxiety was so bad, i contemplated suicide several times and even attempted once, then one week i could feel my emotions fading, it was scary, it was like things just stopped bothering me, i had to make myself feel bad about how awful my life was, and now, i cant say im happy but i just dont feel as extreme as i used to do, i still feel empty but i guess i dont cry over it anymore, or maybe i dont care

i started saying this was my new normal, is this normal?

It sounds better than being in pain. I don't know if it's normal but it's preferable.

I feel empty and cold most of the time. I don't know how normal this is but I much prefer this to always being sad or in pain.

For me just being alive is painful. I never stop feeling pain. Life is suffering and I want nothing to do with life. The pain will only end when I die.

There are short moments where I feel "normal" again. Like right now I'm kinda feeling that way. But it typically passes quickly and I'm back to dreading even being awake. At first when this would happen I would be hopeful that I could get better, but now I know I always ends. But maybe it'll be different for you. I'm glad the pain is gone for you at least, it could be a good step to recovery!

I don't know how functional you are, but I think this situation can be a beginning point for healing. I wish you the best.

All emotional states are just a product of our brain it is possible to shut them down. That is what meditation does.

Numbness. I've never personally experienced it, but I've heard of others feeling numb.

I wish I could just turn my shit off, honestly.

No.
I have ok moments but they never last longer than a few hours.

I don't know if I feel pain but there's just a icy yet burning constricting knot in my chest.
