I just did CPR on my best friend! She is still alive,but I feel empty inside,I just don't feel anything and my best friend is like a little sister to me. Is this normal feelings or am I heartless?

I think this is normal when you save the life of someone your really close to then you feel weird or different, she might not treat you the same, just remember you did it because you love her.

I'm sorry that this happened to you. Honestly. you are probably experiencing a little denial. Your mind is trying to protect you. There is nothing wrong with you. You did what you had to do and you should be peaceful about our help in that awful situation. Don't think that youb are heartless, you are only trying to protect yourself.
Take one hour at a time. I wish only the best for you and hope your friend does well.

That sounds like a truly traumatic thing to go through.
We all learn CPR and pray we never have to do it - much less to a friend!!
Thank god you knew what to do. Anything you feel now is okay. You probably saved her life and that is a feeling very few people know about.
More power to you.

Something is not right here. I looked at your earlier questions especially the one you asked about CPR seven months ago. I think you are making this up.

its prob a side effect from an adrenniline rush. when things like that happen and u r forced to act quick and it is someone you care about, it does meke you feel akward. dont stress its a more common feeling than you think. it might hit you later after everything calms down. good luck always

It is a protective coating you are placing up to prevent yourself from becoming overwhelmed emotionally. You are numbing. It will go away once you are capable of handling the feelings. Best of luck.

Maybe you would feel something if she died, just be glad she did not.
Also be glad you know CPR.
What you should feel is thankful that you knew how to do CPR.

Slap Yourself
that should clear things up.
Works for me.
