Does anyone get more apathetic or emotionless on their period?

I know there is increased irritation and sadness. But does emotional numbness get worse?

We used to have a great thread is support groups for these kinds of discussions until I messed it up but here is a link in case you'd like to get it going again.  http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=267621.0

A big YES!

Oh thank you! I thought I was crazy.

I have like zero emotions . so freaking weird been off 7 days

Im sorry Jeremyrocks. It really sucks

I become numb and for the lack of a better term .. a C-word.

i am just practicing lovw and tolerance. working on being nice to everyone regardless.

Currently going through this. For myself, it's like a horrific combination of severe anxiety/hyperawareness, all shrouded by DPDR and emotional numbness. So I can't even experience the pain enough to process it if that makes sense.

 

Then I just feel like staring at the wall because I can't feel anything, and frankly, it's worse than all the emotional pain in the world.

I was there myself. Weirdly not being able to process pain might have helped but the emotional numbness feels like your soul is dying. It is the worst symptom along with DPDR and depression. I was to the numbness protects us but honestly I could do without it.
