The word alexithymia literally means “no words for emotion”, from the Greek a for “lack”, lexis for “word” and thymia for “emotion”. Alexithymia is a maladaptive psychological disorder characterized by the inability to identify and verbally describe emotions and feelings in oneself as well as in others.
Lately I have been feeling emotionally challenged. Not so much about how I feel, but more of like putting the words together to express how I feel.
I was opening my touchy-feely blog the other day: “Unbroken dreams”, and then I found out that I am numb. As in I really don’t feel any emotions within me, and if I did, would it be classified as emotions? Am I supposed to feel something? And if you go through my first blog post ever, and then compare it to my recent entries, it has evolved or something.
I have evolved perhaps? :/
My supply of melatonin always comes from the internet for the reason that I am a extremely busy person.
