Why Do I Feel So Empty?

Question

Why Do I Feel So Empty?

I'd appreciate any help, i've been in a 21 month relationship with my gf, im 17 still with my parents, i go to school in year 12 at the moment, and i go out occasionally with mates... so why? why do i feel like nothin matters to me anymore, i feel like a shell, so empty.
Yet i have everything, i've tried filling my spare time with more things to do, but i seem to lose interest and that emptiness returns.

I dont know what to do anymore, it seems to get me depressed alot, and my girlfriend worries i might do sumthin stupid, she doesnt seem to understand how i feel.

Help?

Answer 1

why do you feel this way? it's a phase that you are going through. you are really just beginning to get started. and feel like you conquered it all but you haven't. sit back and write a to-do list for the next phase, and enjoy, build on what you have. good luck.

Answer 2

First of all, you need to realize that you have got a good life...you should appreciate it and love the people around you...

Your emptiness: there should be a reason for you to feel this way...think...what does your heart and mind say? What is it that you don't have in your life and is making you feel empty?

My suggestion: I wish i could help you more, because i don't really know what is causing you to feel this way...but i can suggest something...why don't you think of something that you would like to do that would give you a sense of accomplishment and a connection with the world? Like working with orphans, working with old people, raising awareness regarding environmental issues, something of that sort....
This way, you will feel a sense of accomplishment doing something selfless...and you would actually be helping the world around you!!!

Good luck!

Depression. It can happen for no reason. Try talking to your doctor. They might be able to give you something. If it's depression it might be a chemical imbalance that is causing it if you can't pinpoint the reason for it. your gf seems very supportive....I'm sure she can also help.
