The term "dead inside"?!


Question: The term "dead inside".?
Can anyone relate to that.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Yes very much so. As I suffered from quite extreme depression and suicidal thoughts, the feeling of being 'dead inside' equates to some kind of spiritual loss. It's like my soul was dead and I was literally living in hell even though I was on Earth.
I'm a bit better now and I still like to try and figure out why it happened to me. In a way I think the severe depression was a self-protection mechanism as I was in a new country, away from family. It suppressed everything and I even felt like my intelligence or iq had gone down during this period. I was very unresponsive to things, it's like my sense weren't working a 100%. Feeling dead inside is really to me a loss in spirituality.Health Question & Answer

"Dead inside" refers to not feeling any emotions about typically emotional situations. For example, when my first wife left me unexpectedly, i felt neither happy or sad about it. I just moved on with my life. In this situation, i was "dead inside."

However, it is not an all or nothing phrase. We may not feel emotions on some occasions, but on others, we will. When my daughter was born, I felt overwhelmed with joy, even though I am typically empty on the inside. And with my current wife, every time I hear her voice or see her face, i fill so full of happiness that I feel like i'm going to burst!

Feeling dead inside is normal, but it doesn't have to be that way. Just because you are dead inside now, doesn't mean you will always be dead inside. And remember, most of the emotions we feel, we are choosing to feel them. We just wake up happy, we have to wake up and decide to be happy. Happiness, as well as most other emotions, is a choice.Health Question & Answer
