I felt the same way years ago when my older sister passed away and it left me empty for over four years. (December 23 was the 10 year anniversary of her passing. ) I moved out on my own and spent much of my time concentrating on work and college. I did not want to be close to anyone for fear they would die and the empty feeling would continue. I had to get out of the environment that made me feel empty and replace bad things and people with good ones. I had and continue to have Friends that would not let me give up!!! Slowly, I began to get better.
The best advice I can offer is: Get to a new environment, one that is positive and nurturing - let time do it's thing - and rely on the people that mean the most you be it family or friends.
I had a lot of negative and scary thoughts in the beginning of my four year recovery, but I knew there were a lot of people counting on me.

Hunny, I know how you feel. I used to feel this way all the time. That's how I got hooked on drugs so bad, I just wanted something to take the pain away, even if it was only temporary relief. More than likely, you're suffering from depression ... it might just be situational depression. Lots of things can cause it ... crazy stuff going on in your life, the holidays, etc. Unfortunately, nothing can magically make the pain go away ... but there are some things that help.
1. Start going to counseling. Sometimes the best feeling in the world is to just have an objective individual to tell your troubles to.
2. Talk to your doctor about depression. Tell her/him how you've been feeling. You might need an anti-depressant to get through this rough time.
3. Start taking Vitamin B5. It helps to improve your mood. TRUST ME, IT WORKS.
4. Keep a journal of how you feel. I know you probably hurt alot, but generally there are triggers that bring it on. When you start to feel like you can't take it anymore ... document it in your journal. Write down everything that is happening at that moment, everything that you are thinking. It will help you to identify specifically what's making you feel so bad.
The thing that I always tell myself when I don't think I can keep going is that change is a part of nature. It is not in the natural order of the universe for things to stay the same. So that means that your present feelings can't possibly last forever. And if you already feel as miserable as you can possibly imagine, the only way they can change is for the better. You probably think that sounds cheesy but if you think about it, it makes alot of sense.
Good luck to you! I hope this helps you some in the long run.

from ashes comes a new day. i am aware that no quotes will help or even make sense right now because you're in the mist and grips of depression.it does come to pass , but you must remember thses few words"take care of yourself"i also know nothing interest you to keep yourself busy,but you must try to find a diversion to get your mind off of that which comsumes your thoughts now.that's part of "taking care of yourself",eat properly,rest ,don't isolate yourself if you can help it. some say professional help,i don't believe in it,noone knows you better than yourself, but it does help some.keep as clear a mind as possible drinking and drugs won't do anything but make things more confussing.answers will come slowly,you will find your way through the maze and when you do things will be clear and you will wonder why you were unable to break this cycle of depression before. you are your best friend right now just as you are your worse enemy.chose to be a friend to yourself.some call this depression but we all go thru it sooner or later,it's life and there's no getting around the up's and down's."taking care of your self " also means to be nice to yourself , you can start by being kind to you,the outside world will beat up on you enough,don't help it by doing the same. good luck and god bless

I have felt very empty inside and I do know how you feel. You need to find another way to deal with this if you can not cry. Take some walks and just take a time out and find out why you are feeling this way.
Then you should go talk to a councilor and find out where all these feelings are coming from.
Cause it sounds like you are trying to fight these feelings off and if they are not going away it may also be a chemical imbalance and you may need to try an antidepressant

Dang - that sounds like crappy way to be. Its time to get a grip on yourself. We are all destined to be dead - someday - in the meantime, you are special. Live, love and laugh - especially love. Volunteer helping those less fortunate than you or even at a pet shelter. Best of luck - and remember youre special.
