hi everybody,
I feel kind of bad today, because I barely got any sleep last night. I wonder if anyone here has any advice for me on how to deal with this. Last night I had a terrible fight with my boyfriend (together for a few years), during which I cried, but felt a strange numbness. It was almost as if I wasn't really there emotionally and the tears were purely physical. I felt like I was simply playing a part in a play or something... He seemed like a stranger and I didn't feel love for him. I still don't, although objectively I know I do love him.
I can't seem to connect with others when they are upset with me, I just feel as if it's all so surreal and I do and say what I know I ought to, but I'm drained from any emoition.
during our fight I actually envied him, because he was so upset and seemed to care so deeply about me, but I didn't. I just felt empty. He raised his voice, I was calm and quiet. I didn't care, although I felt like I should.
A similar thing happened a couple of other times as well, but less so. I should mention that we usually have a very happy and satisfying relationship and we rarely fight.
I'd really appreciate some advice... or just support
