It happens to me sometimes, as you've probably read. And it always scares me because I feel like it's permanent. So far it hasn't been.
I know from my husband's experience that layoffs at work are very traumatic for everyone involved. I'm guessing that would be enough of a trigger to put you into a self protective mode. It hurts to see people you care about let go. It hurts to wonder if it will ever happen to you. Loss hurts. And one way to deal with loss is to cut yourself off from feeling.
Do you think it might help to encourage yourself to grieve over the losses? Or at least give yourself time to adjust to it, and realize you aren't going to be yourself for a while.

You are such a rock around here. Are you maybe trying to be a rock at work and home as well?
