Do you feel like emotionally numb to your boyfriend? Almost like you just don't know him or the relationship you used to have anymore. I can't explain how I feel but I just feel like my life before this was a blur

YES. Unfortunately, I feel like that with anyone right now pretty much, not just my boyfriend. Probably due to the depression I'm still experiencing. But the feelings with my boyfriend are the scariest, so he feels the most distant out of everyone, which is what hurts the most. I just have this emptiness for everyone and when I have a conversation with anyone, its like I do not care at all. This is so ridiculous but I'm just scared that I was never happy with him, or it was dwindling down and this was my breaking point. That just doesn't add up though, he made me so so happy and I could not have pictured my life without him. I feel SO weird with him right now and hate this. I just want my life back and to be happy again. I've been off of my bc a little over 2 weeks now.

I felt fine when first coming off the pill. It took about a month for me to start feeling like this and unfortunately I still have symptoms and it's been a little over 3 months I think. I heard 6 months is usually when everything gets better so I'm hoping I'll be okay because I really don't want this to ruin my relationship

I think the relationship anxiety is the scariest because we have complete control over our relationships so if we feel like this we are so quick to think to end it. Do you still feel "In love" or are those feelings gone?

I felt like this while on birth control so that's the main reason I got off thinking I would get better. I think I lost hope that I will ever feel like I used to feel but I'm hanging in there just hoping I'll feel okay soon.

I honestly don't feel anything with him and thinking about those thoughts constantly when I'm with him, doesn't help. Constantly assessing how I'm feeling when I'm with him will no doubtingly make me feel nothing with him though. I just don't know how to stop these thoughts. I'm also super depressed so I feel isolated with everyone. Are you sure you're not depressed?

I can also relate with feeling nothing with my boyfriend as well. I honestly feel like my life is a blur and I'm emotionally numb to this and him. I do believe coming off the pill caused some depression as well which is definitely not making anything better. Although I notice most of my negative effects are towards my boyfriend I do not enjoy other things that I used to love as well.

I feel very disconnected with him. Almost like I don't know who he is. This makes it almost impossible to feel like I love him because I feel so numb

Yea, I would guess that might be depressed too though. Especially since you do not like doing things like you used to. And you feel emotionally numb. That is a huge indicator. I would not overthink the fact that you think that you don't love your boyfriend anymore, I think you are latching on to anything in order to feel relief to your sadness? I still feel like this with my boyfriend and its really sad, but I know my brain isn't rational right now. I feel isolated and distant from everyone right now though, because of this depression I'm going through. But the way I feel with my boyfriend scares me the most, because that is the most important to me, so of course my brain is going into extreme anxiety and overdrive. I literally think when you are in a depressive episode like this, your mind is so good at tricking you. Is there anything else going on in your life that would trigger depression? (BTW, when I mean depression I mean an episode of it, depression DOES NOT last forever). Do you have fun with your friends or when you are away from your boyfriend?

I enjoy my time with my boyfriend but when I'm not with him or when I'm thinking about it is when it gets bad. Considering this is really always on my mind I don't really enjoy my time with friends that much. I'm going to Greece in a few days with my friend for a months and I'm nervous how I will feel but it will be good to get away for a little bit.

Well that's a great sign if you enjoy your time with him! I'm not even able to do that yet :( But like I said, I'm also depressed so I don't enjoy anything I used to at the moment. That's awesome you are going to Greece, that will be SO FUN! Yea, I bet you will miss him but thats good. You will be so excited to see him again!

Yes exactly I will miss him but it will be good to get away for a little bit and I will be excited to see him! You will gradually get better but i don't know how long it's going to take to fall in love again. Unfortunately I feel like it's never going to happen !!!
