Q: Don't feel pain

Ive spent so long feeling pain that ive numbed to it. It seems that only when i really hurt i ever feeling anything. My grandmother is on her death bed and doesn't have much longer and i feel as though i need to do something to myself to feel anything. Everyone around me is feeling the pain of her loss and i dont feel anything. I dont feel human. I burnt myself with my cigarette to try and feel the pain but its not enough. I dont understand why i cant let my emotions go and just grieve like everyone else but i stay so bottled up, its torture. I want to just feel the pain and let it go. all i can think about it trying to force myself to feel the pain of those around me. I dont know what is wrong me me...

I'm sorry I just saw this post..Yes you know what is wrong..You are someone who self inflicts pain and right now you are in a different kind of pain and its like short circuiting you..This pain is new because it's dealing with a bigger emotion--your grandmother..

You need to be with your grandmother--you need to say all the things you want to so that those things can be let go..Whether it is before she passes or at the funeral talk so that you know you are releasing some of your pain..You need a councelor no doubt about that..I hate it that you hurt so bad--I hate it that you have to hurt yourself to feel..Please get counceling..kd
