sounds like a cool name for an emo metal band... anyways, i have a random question. do you think its possible to die emotionally? were told that time heals all wounds, but if you carry the wounds metaphor on, then are some wounds fatal? or is it a case that if you die emotionally, you die physically, like an 'as above so below' kinda thing?
well like, you could develop PTSD or depression... which I guess you could relate to "dying". You aren't the same after that... Having emotional problems lowers your immune system, so you would be more likely to die, but the actual kicker would be a physical thing.
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean physical death caused by emotions? Or emotional death as in total apathy?
I had fun delving into your question... So, pardon the long winded post... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder ___________________________________ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissocial_personality_disorder ICD-10 Criteria for Dissocial Personality Disorder More information... http://books.google.com/books?id=Kt...ts=lVx_gb_9mM&sig=U_bMqyc-KlzHKEvzXBdeZxplN2E These types of disorders are common among serial killers along with narcissistic personality disorder... I find stuff like this fascinating.
Yes, but I was replying to semi- serious five sentence question about a good name for a metal band with a lot of reading material.
alright, so if you think sociopathy (or something similar) is the closest scientificly named approximation of "emotional death" without dying, do you think its possible for people to come back from that state? on a side note, i find some of the descriptions of things beings labelled disorders by the WHO abhorrent, but unsurprising i suppose, that they bundle in failure to comply with social norms in with no empathy. i dunno, i asked because i feel like i have wounds that will never heal. but on the other side, it makes sense to me that to die emotionally would be to die physically, and that our hearts cannot beat without passion. but maybe "fatal wounds" take their time to snuff out that passion? bleh, i made it depressing again.
I believe that you can come back from anything emotionally if you've got the will to do it. The bolded part I'm not getting... Your emotional state can certainly affect your physical state... But, our hearts can beat without passion. One has nothing to do with the other. I do hope you'll find some healthy solace for your unhealed wounds. :grouphug:
