What does "Empty" feel like? BPD
I have been diagnosed with a borderline personality traits/ currently diagnosed with "history of borderline personality disorder".
In the past i have struggled with feelings of depression a lot and am diagnosed with "depressive episode unspecified" currently.
My psychiatrist has spoken about me as experiencing feelings of emptyness but i don't understand what this means... I don't think I feel a feeling that i would describe as "empty". The momments she would describe as me having an emptiness, i would describe as "sadness" and "feeling depressed". I have experienced feeling a heaviness in my chest.
I felt sad, felt sad, depressed, hopeless, alone etc. Why does she say "empty"? Is she describing an observation of an "emptyness" in my life that makes me feel depressed?
What does feeling empty actually feel like? am i just mislabeling my feelings of sadness?
What does feeling empty feel like?
