Why the more it hurts... the more we "feel nothing"

Some are not "stronger."

But is "not feeling anything."

This is not cold.

But it's the mechanism of the brain.

That used to hurt... until having to close everything

The problem is...

It's not just the pain.

But it turns off "happiness."

If you feel that

Life is all dormant...

You may not be okay up.

You're just... tea.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์จริง หลายครั้งที่ผมเจอกับความเจ็บปวดทางอารมณ์ รู้สึกเหมือนตัวเองถูกปิดกั้น ไม่สามารถสัมผัสความรู้สึกได้เหมือนเดิม อาการนี้เรียกว่า "Emotional Numbing" หรือการปิดตัวทางอารมณ์ ซึ่งไม่ใช่ความเย็นชาหรือความไม่ใส่ใจ แต่เป็นกลไกป้องกันของสมองเมื่อต้องเจอกับความเจ็บปวดที่มากเกินไป สมองจะเข้าสู่โหมดที่เรียกว่า "Survival Mode" หรือโหมดเอาตัวรอด ซึ่งจะช่วยลดความเจ็บปวดทางจิตใจโดยการตัดการรับรู้ความรู้สึกต่าง ๆ ทั้งด้านลบและด้านบวกไปด้วย นี่จึงเป็นสาเหตุที่ทำให้เรารู้สึกว่า "ไม่รู้สึกอะไรเลย" ทั้งที่จริง ๆ แล้วความรู้สึกยังมีอยู่ เพียงแต่ถูกปิดบังไว้ชั่วคราว ภาวะนี้อาจทำให้หลายคนเข้าใจผิดว่าตัวเองแข็งแรงขึ้น แต่ที่จริงแล้ว สมองกำลังปกป้องตัวเองจากความเจ็บปวดอย่างมากจนไม่เปิดรับความรู้สึกใด ๆ ซึ่งหากปล่อยไว้โดยไม่ดูแล อาจส่งผลเสียต่อสุขภาพจิต ทำให้รู้สึกเฉื่อยชา เหมือนไม่อยากมีส่วนร่วมกับโลกภายนอก หรือแม้แต่ความสุขที่เคยสัมผัสได้ก็หายไป ในขั้นตอนฟื้นฟู เราควรเปิดโอกาสให้ตัวเองได้รับรู้และยอมรับความรู้สึกนั้น ๆ อย่างค่อยเป็นค่อยไป อาจใช้วิธีการพูดคุยกับคนที่ไว้ใจ หรือหาแนวทางช่วยเหลือจากผู้เชี่ยวชาญด้านสุขภาพจิต เพื่อเรียนรู้วิธีจัดการกับความเจ็บปวดโดยไม่ต้องปิดกั้นความรู้สึกทั้งหมด สุดท้ายนี้ อยากย้ำว่าการเผชิญหน้ากับความเจ็บปวดอย่างถูกวิธี คือก้าวแรกของการเยียวยาและพัฒนาตัวเองให้แข็งแรงขึ้นอย่างแท้จริง ไม่ใช่การปล่อยให้สมองปิดตายความรู้สึกจนกลายเป็น Emotional Disconnect ที่ทำให้เราหลงทางในความรู้สึกของตัวเอง

Ever hear these phrases and feel small?
I used to hear these “normal” phrases all the time and didn’t realize how much they were hurting me. 💔 Over time, I noticed I was doubting myself, hiding my feelings, and feeling guilty for simply being me. That’s when I knew: these words weren’t okay, and I deserved better. Healing means recogn

It hurts when people don’t show up for you. But sometimes, their absence has nothing to do with your value and everything to do with their own emotional limitations. Some hearts simply don’t know how to hold space yet, and that’s not yours to fix. This is your reminder: you are not hard to love.
