After The Anxiety- A Feeling of Numbness

by Jacob

Hello, thank you for the website, and thank you for all the excellent advice.

Well after a few months of seeing a counselor and using the techniques here and from other places, (meditation, relaxation breathing, and hypnosis) I have managed to get my anxiety under control for the most part.

However, now I feel almost too even-keeled. I think a part of me is oddly enough, missing the rush of anxiety. (Im not sure of a better way of explaining it.) I feel almost numb. Like I'm not reacting to situations as strongly as I should. I don't miss the extremes of negative emotions, but I do miss the positive ones. Is this a temporary problem? Is there a way to improve it or will I just get used to it? Or is this just the way people without anxiety feel?
