Why do I feel empty?

Question

Right now i just feel nothing. No sad or happy. Well most of the time I feel sad. I'm also just really confused. There's this girl that I had liked for a while and just today I realized that I don't like her anymore. But I'm not sure. I might still like her. But it's weird. I still want to like her. But I can't. Doesn't that mean I like her? I don't know. I'm not sure myself.

I don't even know who I am. I can't define myself with anything. I'm not good at anything. My grades suck. My family sucks right now, but I don't think it has to do with me being sad. Everyday I get up with nothing but disappointment to look forward to. There's nothing to live for really. There's nothing I'm looking forward to. I havent been thinking about suicide lately, but I have for the last couple weeks before.

I'm so empty. I want to feel sad. I want to feel something.

BTW: Please no answers telling me to find God. I'm an atheist

And don't tell me im going to hell if i kill myself because:

1. I'm an atheist, I dont beleive in hell.
2. Why would a loving god send someone to hell because they killed themselves because they have a mental condition?

Answer 1

Its a tough spot to be in, for sure.
I think most everyone has experienced that in life. That is exactly what drives many people to become alcoholics and drug addicts.
The good thing is that you are aware of your state of mind, rather than trying to numb yourself and ending of with more problems later.
Really, the best thing to do is find something with meaning to you.
Volunteer for something you feel strongly about, do some heavy duty thinking about where you want to be in five years and start taking some steps towards that, seek out like-minded people (whatever you are interested in) and engage your mind there.
If things don't improve in the next 3 months or so, head to your doc for an evaluation. You may have a chemical imbalance that leads to depression.

Hang in there, OK?

in your life your environment dictates the tools that you develop. your family, ideally, would be there to share in coaching you through and, of coarse, vise versa. this is the warmest common courtesy that a person can have with other people if your relationships are positive.

if you're looking for perfect people.......well the only perfect person i ever knew was a perfect a ss hole.

if you truly have heart and a good command of the power of your mind then you own the tools to develop a fabulous self discipline. focus and the dreams will unfold as they should. and don't forget what is valuable! many people know the price of everything but they don't know the value of anything.

i usually peddle a document that i found of some worth.....it's called "desiderata" and it's on the Internet. have a look and see if it offers you anything.

i wish you peace of mind and i only hope that you can reach out and attain it in your life. cheers!


p.s. there is a way that seems right to a man; that way leads to death and destruction.

that's in proverbs....in the holy bible.
