You've probably fallen into the pits lately, you're lonely, tired, under-stimulated. You won't be stuck this way for long, just keep climbing and keep looking for answers.

Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? If not, then start reading the Bible...it will fill you from head to toe with the love He has for you. Rest in His loving arms.

It could be because you aren't doing something that you love, also it could be because of a recent breakup...but in most cases the best thing to do when feeling empty is to get yourself busy doing things that you enjoy.

I think that sometimes you can feel empty as a result of you or someone else repressing a part of you. But other times it's because of depression, which is something you can talk to different professionals about and they can give you the proper care. Remember to do the things you love or used to love. Stay active and still take care of yourself.

As I experienced, emptiness is the period which comes after being depressed or doing something regularly, so that we lose that joyful feeling when we do a thing or just finish it.

It could be caused by a number of things. A persons emotions are typically affected by their surroundings. Try to figure out your major stressors in life and address them somehow. Without speaking personally, I cannot give better advice to you. If your emptiness, or depression, worsens or is already unbearable, seek professional help immediately.

Sometimes there is not an actual reason for feeling empty. It's a way of coping with overwhelming feelings.
