[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 745882, member: 23349"] Don’t judge yourself Joy. What you are experiencing is burnout ... compassion fatigue...probably depression caused by everything he has put you through. When things are too much, we shut down. I have had periods when my emotions have shut down entirely. When C was in jail, and a bunch of other drama was going on at the same time, I just couldn’t feel. I thought something must seriously be wrong with me. I had no emotions at all. No joy. No sorrow. No curiosity. Just blank. I had shut down. I went through a similar period when N was in the hospital and my marriage was falling apart. Sometimes it’s all too much. We shut down as a defense mechanism. Meditation and mindfulness helped me find my feelings again. And my balance. Be gentle with yourself. [/QUOTE]
