Shut down
Notifications OFF
So I'm 2 weeks in since the knock. I have obviously gone through a variety of emotions and my head has been all over the place. However, now, it is like my brain has just shut down. I feel nothing at all and I'm scared. Has this happened to anyone before? I just want to feel something.
My brain won't even let me think about the future or anything that is going on at home. I feel like I am crazy!

Hi
You have been through a lot over the last two weeks since the 'knock'. Its quite probable that you feel your brain has shutdown as a coping mechanism of the trauma you have experienced. Perhaps it would be good to speak to your GP (if you haven't already done so) or the Stop it Now helpline for support and for you to explain how you have been feeling.
Take one day at a time and take care of yourself

Hi LittleLostElla8, I am sorry that your post has been missed. I am sorry that you find yourself here. That feeling you have is down to the trauma. Your body is in shock. It took me months to get rid of that feeling, and I still now get a fuzzy brain when I am overwhelmed by thoughts of the situation. I found an online course helped me. Have a look at bloomforwomen.com. Healing trauma from sexual betrayal. I also found meditation and mindfulness good, to bring me to back to the here and now and relax me.
Take care, and come back with any questions. There are some amazing non judgmental people on here. xx

Also look at "Understanding why" section, there is a great post from rainbowgirl "advice for new members on surviving those early days". See your doctor, get as much help as you can. Hang in there, it does get more manageable in time. xxx
Hey hunny
It's perfectly normal... Its how our brain processes trauma sometimes. When we become overwhelmed by our emotions.. It only allows us to process so much at a time... I usually find when I have an emotionally outburst n get very tearful... I usually feel numb a few days afterwards.
We go through every stage of grief.. Maybe try writing down your thoughts and feelings or speak to the helpline. I use an app called mood diary... It helps you name your emotions and think about the positives and the negatives. You will still be in a great deal of shock hunny. In many ways I am almost 11 months on xx

Hi I think I am a few days behind you with the knock coming on 8th april
I needed some space from my husband and finally text him last night. I am so very emotional today. I Feel like I can't do anything without crying. I think any emotion is normal right now and our body's way of coping with what is probably the biggest shock we have ever had

I am so sorry that we are all here in this and thank you so much for your replies. My partner is moving out this week so that I can have some space.
I can't see a time where I am not going to feel this way. We were at the beginning of our journey. Been together just under 5 years. Just bought the dream house, ready to get married and on our journey (with help) to start our family. We had it all. Our own little part of the world.
I just can't believe that it can hurt this much.
