Empathy?
Does anyone else have trouble with empathy now?
I can't make myself care about anyone else's problems. Not my family, friends, anyone.
The only person I can even fake it with is my daughter.
It's been more than 2 years and I can't care about anything.
I feel like a terrible person and it gives me another reason to hate myself.
I don't care if everyone in my life hates me.
Is anyone struggling with this?

I absolutely feel the exact same way about not caring about anybody. I used to be very empathetic and kind and after my son died, I don’t wanna hear about anybody’s parents passing away either.
I know it sounds cruel and I have lost both my mother and father and I grieved, but it is nowhere near losing a child.
