I feel emptiness inside...?

Question

...I wish I could find a way to make me feel better...?

Answer 1

First off hunn, sitting on the proverbial "pity-pot" is not helping you. All you seem to be achieving a is a ring around your bum..I am a bit older and having had a few broken hearts before...

Your happiness should always come from within. If the relationship you were in defined your happiness and worth then you are learning a valuable lesson about life.

Forgiveness is part of the healing. Along with grieving comes closure. If you can forgive him and then yourself, you will feel alot better. Beleive me, my marriage of 17 years was destroyed and he left me as well. I thought I'd never fill the big "hole" left in my gut. BUT today I am a different person, and I thank god that thing's do pass. The way I felt then, is surely not the way I feel about how everything went down-today...

Ask yourself, how miserable do I want to feel? How much more blue can I get? You do understand that YOU are making yourself feel like crap right? If you own it, keep repeating it, keep wallowing in self-pity, the "whoa is me" syndrome, then your making yourself sicker..You project onto yourself and other's how you want to be perceived and accepted.

The key to getting over this? Getting on with yourself. Like someone here suggested, remember what your life was like before him? What things did you do that you enjoyed? Do them again. Treat yourself to dinner/lunch, go have a facial/spa/pedicure. In other words, did he define who you were before? NO. YOU DID...

Better yet, try volunteer work. Go work in a soup kitchen for a few hours, Volunteer at a school reading to children, offer your time and services to a non-profit organization such as bigbro/bigsis..In other words--get OUT of yourself, and get into something else. I guarantee you, you won't be thinking about how sad and blue you are, when helping someone else...Get out of the problem and immerse youself into the solution...

Usually emptiness means you don't know your self, something is missing in your life or something tragic happened in your life. Most likely if you think about it hard enough you'll know why you are feeling this way. Or you may know now. Don't ignore it; surely find some sort of help to fill this space.

Answer 3

why do you feel empty? there is usually a reason. even if you dont see it at first. the first step is to identify the cause. if you know what is causing this feeling of emptiness then you should be able to start on the road to recovery.

it would also be a good thing to have someone to talk to. it helps somtimes just to unload on someone.

Answer 4

UHOH, Im feeling it for ya. There is more "first expieriences" that come with going to a club for the first time, it leads to dancing, finding out what your missing out on and ultimately they decide whether the want the single life or committed, ive seen it go both ways. YOU have to be honest in your opinions, as much as they say other wise a women still likes it when we take control, I am glad you had fun but I do not like the idea of you dancing with other guys, you want to out again? then we go out as a couple, with other couples, not as singles!,,,then stick to it
