We all experience a wide range of emotions throughout the day, we can be happy one minute and the next we can feel as though we are under siege as the depths of hell rain down on us as we lash out at others over the littlest things. One of the most over looked emotions is numbness, this is because no one ever really talks about it, nor exactly knows how to describe it to someone because everyone experiences it completely differently. But how does one treat emotional numbness?

AN APPOINTMENT WITH A PSYCHIATRIST

One of the best things to do is to make an appointment with a psychiatrist to determine what might be going on. The reason for this is because there is usually an underlying issue that needs to be worked on. And for the most part a psychiatrist can help you figure out what the underlying problem is and help you begin to heal.


GET YOUR BODY MOVING

Although it might be the last thing that you might want to be doing when you are feeling this way, but even doing a nice jog, a yoga session, or even kickboxing can help get rid of stress, anxiety, and help produce more endorphins in the process.


SNORE TIME

Getting plenty of sleep is hard sometimes due to the stressful demands of everyday life. And when someone doesn't get enough sleep emotional numbness tends to make its appearance taking over the entire body, mentally and physically.


MINIMIZE STRESS

It might be a ridiculous notion of getting rid of stress completely due to the things that happens throughout each day either in personal life or at work.


TRY OUT MINDFULNESS STRATEGIES

By adding breathing exercises into your life you are able to bring a little new perspective, as well as reducing the stress in your life.


GETTING THE SUPPORT YOU NEED

By surrounding yourself with a group of supportive people you will be able to be yourself completely without feeling judged or unwanted. A trusting supportive group is needed for everyone, it makes you feel needed and loved, and overall you don't feel alone in the world. Those who deal with emotional numbness can rely on their supportive group of family and friends can go on to live healthy and happy lives. When going through an emotional numbness episode it is best to ask for help.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
