Serious Emptiness

You know that feeling where you just feel empty inside? Where you feel somewhat numb to most emotions, where you can't find anything pushing you to do things, where you realise all this but know deep down that you can't change it, no matter how hard you try?

Sometimes, during random times I'll just think and realise that I can't find any goals driving me forward, and no motivation to start anything. For the past few weeks, maybe even the past few months, I've been distracting myself with mostly meaningless things - and yet with that hole inside that I just can't fill. I know deep inside that I should be doing productive things, that I NEED to be doing productive things, but I just can't find anything to get myself to start doing them. And as I continue distracting myself I keep falling deeper into this rabbit hole.

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get myself out. In fact, by posting this thread I'll be ignoring what I need to do even more than I already was. I understand that this kind of thinking isn't healthy but I can't stop myself from thinking these thoughts.

Maybe posting this will help, maybe it won't. I sure as hell know this is the first time I've ever gone public about these kinds of thoughts. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually tell myself this is a bad idea and delete it. Either way, this'll finally let me sleep without thinking about these kinds of things.

 

If you need anyone to talk to, we are here.
Whatever you need to do, myself and this community are all ears.

 

Distract yourself with positive tasks and encouraging people. Working out and exercising releases endorphins that improve mood and psyche. Even if athletics isn't your thing, everyone has an activity that they can somewhat enjoy. Whether its walking around playing Pokemon GO in the park or hanging out with friends, getting outside and out of solitude can really help your mood.

Learn as much as you can too. Find something interest and immerse yourself. Try Kurzgesagt. They always have something really interesting to offer and their animation turns their videos into eye candy.

Whatever adversity you face, however empty you feel inside, just work past it and create a goal and a life for yourself. Don't sit by and hope destiny will create it for you. Be the change you're desiring.

 

Start by making a schedule and sticking to it.
Wake up early and go for a jog or ride around the neighborhood with your favorite music playing.
Pick up some hobbies, it can be anything from cooking to knitting to playing sports.
Find a non toxic friend to share your feelings with and do activities with.
And if you ever need to talk, werew here for you
