Stress and Loss of Feeling or Emotional Deadness

Stress and Loss of Feeling or Emotional Deadness


Hi. I've been dating my girlfriend for 4 months and the past few weeks she has been really stressed. The combination of being a single mother of 3 and her new job as well as her ex creating drama and stress, she has had a couple rough weeks. In turn, she has become emotionally withdrawn from me in our relationship. She has said she is emotionally dead and unsure what she is going through. She has lost most of her appetite and is tired even when she gets sleep. Is this something you have dealt with and is there anything I should do differently
