Burn Out: Burn out from stress, fatigue, depression, work can lead to feeling "numb, detached or a sense of depersonalization (feeling you are watching yourself from a distance). This is a defense mechanism when the system feels emotionally overloaded. It is time to seek medical evaluation and consider speaking with your doctor or psychologist.
