I wanted to feel like a desirable woman, and to feel the excitement and thrill from passionate love making.


I believe that most guys do not understand this at all. I hear woman using the terms like "Slowly dying inside" etc. Has anyone heard a man say this?

What is the equivalent for a man? Anything walk away men say that woman do not?

Before BD, I was heading that way too. I felt empty, robotic and hopeless that this is the life I would be doomed to live.

Maybe hopeless is the word we would use?

I believe this is a form of depression.

When people feel Dead Inside - they are looking for something external to break this depression.
So they have an affair, or some other destructive external behavior.
Liquor, drugs, pills, sex, all running away from their DEAD INSIDE feeling.

Unfortunately the running behavior does not solve this problem but just pushes it down the road.

At some point you must confront this inside yourself or you will just keep running until you collapse from exhaustion.

I must tell you I felt some similar feelings. During my ww period of time, coming home was just like getting into a prison. It was a downgrading spiral. A really unhealthy way of living.

This is so true. And sometimes you are surrounded by people that don’t help you getting out of that. They push you inside eventually. Welcome to the misty world of waywardness.
