Why do I feel so empty?

Sometimes people or even you drain yourself. You have to take time to distance yourself and "refuel". It's normal for people to feel empty especially if they're depressed. In my experience struggling to recover can empty you of energy.

Hi. I don't know what emptiness you feel and what your case is exactly, but I can relate to some extent and maybe it will help. From time to time I come to realize that I feel empty inside or in other words ''dead'' inside, it's a strong word and I know many people have it worse, but it just seems to describe it, as everything feels pointless, I don't seem to be TRULY motivated for anything, eventually everything starts to seem sad and hopeless. Of course I do have interests and people I love and I find things to occupy/distract myself with whether it be dumb things like food, games and tv-shows or more fulfilling and meaningful things like reading, learning, creating something or communicating with good people. Now I am thankfully well and hope you are too. But sometimes I tend to get anxious and self-sabotage myself back to the states of rumination and intrusive thoughts that plagued my life for several years now. Sometimes I think that if I wouldn't feel pointless and would have a meaningful positive focus in my life, there wouldn't be place for scary made-up thoughts in my mind. Anyway, sorry for such a long story, here is an article I found alongside your question, by googling ''what to do if you feel empty inside'' )) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/margaret-paul-phd/inner-emptiness_b_869421.html# It seems to have some truth. Take care and speak to people!

you see the negative side of things. there are good things too. you can feel lost and empty but to be honest you are not. you do have friends and people there for you. even if they are only online. feelings come and go but you last forever in the harts of many.

I do not know the answer to this question, but I do know if you surround yourself with positive, open-minded people that empty feeling might go away. Get a pet if you like them, go out and explore the world, go hiking with a friend, go eat breakfast with a friend--surround yourself with positive people who make you feel good. This is important for anyone's well being.

Feeling empty means life has no meaning. And that you're missing , something inice of you is gone.

Empty or also known as blank. Well, in my point of view, people do feel empty in them because they can't find their purposes in life. They tend to let go off everything and wanting to be somewhere quiet and alone. People tend to feel this way because they don't see things are important anymore in their life. So they just feel really empty without love, kindness, care, devotion of other people to fill in the emptiness inside them. The emptiness eventually eating them alive internal and mentally gradually.

Emptiness is a feeling in which you don't find any reason to go on-Motivation. For that you need to have a teeny tiny more hope that tomorrow is better and one day you will not feel this way. Try to plan your day.EVEN IF IT FAILS. But planning your day will help you look up to the next day and help you find some motivation. And the plans will fail but don't lose hope. I know you are strong enough to carry on and one day you will fill your emptiness with awesome things :) All the best and I hope you don't feel this way.

Feeling empty sometimes comes when you are unable to fill a certain void within yourself, where you can feel motivated or inspired to do something, or just get out of bed in the morning. its sad to feel empty because its not very easy to find something that completes you.

Perhaps you subconsciously are trying to stop yourself from feeling because you've been hurt in the past.

Empty feelings can be caused by a variety of things, mostly by loneliness, depression or breakups..
