“for a couple of weeks now I have been having no thoughts, and no feelings at all.

Cause
Not stated in OP (Avoidant Personality forum). Peer replies frame as stress shutdown / possible depression-numbness; OP denies classic sad depression.
Duration
~a couple of weeks at first post; later outcome unknown (live page often times out; quote from search-index OP text).
Recovery notes
No recovery claimed. Asking what is going on; wants old personality back. No treatment outcome in available snippets.
