When will I feel again? (Lengthy post)

    Lately I feel like I'm just emotionless. And it's all thanks to those people I call my "family."

    As TDG sings in one of their new songs I Am Machine:
    "Here's to being human
    All the pain and suffering
    There's beauty in the bleeding
    At least you feel something

    I wish I knew what it was like
    To care enough to carry on
    I wish I knew what it was like
    To find a place where I belong, but

    I am machine
    I never sleep
    I keep my eyes wide open
    I am machine
    A part of me
    Wishes I could just feel something
    I am machine
    I never sleep
    Until I fix what's broken
    I am machine
    A part of me
    Wishes I could just feel something

    Here's to being human
    Taking it for granted
    The highs and lows of living
    To getting second chances

    I wish I knew what it was like
    To care about what's right or wrong
    I wish someone could help me find
    Find a place where I belong, but

    I am machine
    I never sleep
    I keep my eyes wide open
    I am machine
    A part of me
    Wishes I could just feel something
    I am machine
    I never sleep
    Until I fix what's broken
    I am machine
    A part of me
    Wishes I could just feel something

    It wasn't supposed to be this way
    We were meant to feel the pain
    I don't like what I am becoming
    Wish I could just feel something

    I am machine
    I never sleep
    I keep my eyes wide open
    I am machine
    A part of me
    Wishes I could just feel something
    I am machine
    I never sleep
    Until I fix what's broken
    I am machine
    A part of me
    Wishes I could just feel something.
    "

    I feel like I'm a machine. I don't even know what happiness is anymore. One of the only times I don't feel like a robot is when I'm around my boyfriend.

    So my big question is, how can I be happy again?

    If I can do anything or if you want to talk let me know. I'm going to be a psychology major so I might could help :slight_smile:

    A question. Do you usually never let your guard down out of fear of being vulnerable? If you do, you might try letting go a bit, especially to yourself or people you trust.
    Maybe something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8UeeIAJ0a0

    If not, please describe what you're feeling, and it's easier to give you some advice.

    If that doesn't help yet, have a hug (*hug*) or two (*hug*) or three (*hug*).
    I'm here, we're here if you want to talk. (&&&) Take care of yourself! <3

    I actually really love that song. And my guard is always up. It's rarely ever down, especially because of my anxiety. But that's just it. I can't let go. It feels like I always have a weight on my shoulder.
