When You Feel Nothing: Understanding Dorsal Shutdown.

from 🫶🏼 Life And Bullshyt 🫶🏼 Hosted by Janine Schwartz

Ever have a day where you’re physically there…but mentally, you’ve completely checked out? In this episode, we’re talking about dorsal shutdown—that numb, disconnected, “I just can’t anymore” feeling that can happen when life becomes too overwhelming. What looks like laziness or withdrawal may actually be your body asking for a break. Let’s talk about what it feels like, how to recognize it, and why sometimes feeling nothing means you’ve been feeling too much for too long. #DorsalShutdown #NervousSystem #Overwhelmed #EmotionalExhaustion #MentalHealth #LifeAndBullshyt
