Hey, I’ve been there too, and what you’re describing sounds a lot like emotional numbness. It usually happens when your brain’s dealing with too much at once, like big life changes, stress, or even grief. Instead of processing everything, your mind kind of ‘shuts off’ emotions to protect you from overload. It can also happen from burnout, suppressed emotions, or even lowkey depression.
To start feeling again, try not to force emotions, that can actually block them more. Let yourself feel nothing without guilt. Doing grounding things like walks, journaling, nostalgic music, or even talking to someone safe can help your emotions come back gradually. If it lasts too long or gets worse, therapy can really help make sense of it. You’re not broken, you’ve just been through a lot, and this is how your mind is coping. (I experienced exactly the same as u only not my cat getting lost)
