anitaParticipantHey Confused:
As I read your recent post of only 20 minutes ago, this stood out the most: “because at some point in my life someone needed me too much and I resented that.”-
Someone who was supposed to be what you needed- needed you instead.
Makes me think of course, of my mother: how much, how desperately I needed her to be that person of calm, a person- a world I could rest in. But no rest for me.
“I perceive it as pressure and responsibility”- what was supposed to be love and calm was- not at all calm.
“Now I am mostly numb towards everything, even sadness is gone, fear too.”- that’s okay. Be numb as long as you need to be numb. You are a good person, I know it! You are allowed to take a break.

anitaParticipantGood morning, Confused:
I was confused yesterday but realize this morning that the questions I asked you yesterday require emotional access you don’t yet have because of your emotional shutdown.
At one point last evening (my last message to you), I thought you were avoiding my questions, not realizing you weren’t yet able to answer them.
I was trying to help you name what you feel, but it may have put you in a position where you feel that you must “perform clarity” for me.
Instead of asking you to define the pressure, fear, or responsibility (cognitively demanding questions given your emotional state), I better shift toward trying to help you notice rather than explain, asking questions that don’t require clarity — only observation. Here are two such questions:
1) When you think of being responsible for her feelings, what sensation comes up?
2) When you imagine her needing you, what’s the first thing you feel — even if it’s numbness?

anitaParticipantTalk to me, Zenith, anytime. It’s the old childhood wounds bleeding into adulthood; child Zenith finding herself a mother.
Don’t give up, Zenith; don’t give in. There’s hope, there’s a better way.
🤍✨️🌙 Anita
