hey belugaehale3! It must be really scary to face this situation,not knowing what to do and getting stuck. It is common for many people to feel numb due to the anxiety or the stress that they feel. It is the way sometimes our body reacts to the stressors. Maybe telling us to take a break. Mindful breathing techniques and muscle relaxation can help in relaxing or mind. Most importantly dealing with the problems in an effective way and not pushing it away helps. Talking to someone especially a qualified mental health professional might be really of great help. They can provide the best tools to effectively deal with the problems we face.
