why do i feel empty inside, have husband,kids, grandkids, good job, friends at work. yet i feel so alone?

Answer 1

Kitten, I am not gonna preach to you but you feel empty because you are looking to these people and your job to fulfill you. Whenever they don't we feel empty.

For me personally I have learnt to put my trust in God and develop and relationship with him. Then everything else will fall into place. Maybe God is trying to get your attention Kitten........Why don't you try him today?

Answer 2

you might want to spend more time everyday focusing on things that would make you happy, not thing that make the people in your life happy. think back to the end of high school. remember when they told you to figure out your career by figuring out what you would do with your free time if you had all the money in the world? take some time to reanswer that question, you may find that you want to spend time away from work as a musician or a writer. using your free time differently may make doing the everyday things seem less trivial and mundane. i know that i usually feel better if i read or write at the end of a day. then things that happen in the day don't seem as boring. they are more inspiring and i can turn a boring trip on the metro into an exciting adventure into the unknown. just use your imagination. it may even lead to a second job for fun, opening your own business on the side, or even just some artwork to post on the fridge next to that drawing from your grandkids.

Answer 3

I have had a life full of people too and it does not cure the emptiness. Its called depression Sweetie Try getting in a support group Go to Supportworks and you can find any support group you like Even though you have everything that a person could want only a higher power can make you happy and fill the void GOD can only give you true happiness all other is tempory. Get a counselor in your area as well to talk out these feelings because eventually this emptiness will grow to the surface and show its ugly head. Journaling would also be helpful to get out your emotions and finding something you like to do for yourself outside of work and family.

Answer 4

I'm not sure , but for me when i was feeling this way i turned to god and that was what i was missing the spiritual uplifting that only God can give know i feel wanted and loved and i never feel like I'm lonely. I know that feeling and it was making me sick until i found God so i hope you find what makes you happy and Give spirituality a try.

Answer 5

Maybe you are too busy looking for love outside yourself. It sounds like you need to learn to love yourself. Giving is good but after all those years have you given to yourself? You may be suffering from depression. I was told that depression is anger turned in on oneself; perhaps your problem lies there? If you continue to feel that way see if you can find counseling, it may be important.

Answer 6

It sounds like you lost yourself somewhere along the way. Rediscover your passion. Live in gratitude for what you have and focus on the good. Pursue the things that really interest YOU. Good luck and I hope for your happiness.
