Does anyone ever feel a sudden emptiness?

There are times where i kinda just look outside and ponder, but not really about anything, as if something is missing. I never seem to have any idea what though, and it usually needs a good sleep to get rid of. Am i a nutcase or does someone out there have an idea of what im on about?

Whenever I feel like that (usually almost every night) I figure it's because I need to get laid... or have ice cream...

I get that sometimes too... I don't know why. I was feeling that way yesterday, kinda depressed and empty feeling thinking about life, so I got on my bike and rode around really fast for a while... Not only did I solve my empty feeling, I also discovered how out of shape I am 😊

I feel empty almost all the time. I'm a depressed peson.
..and DR, yeah, tell me about shape...I am the most unathletic (is that a word?) person in the world..

Glad it aint just me. Usually a good sleep and mine is gone.

I've been feeling like that all summer, which is kinda weird for me cuz I'm usually a really happy peson, but it kinda hit me that I'm graduatin in a year and my life will no longer be predictable, I usually love change but this is a big one and everyday that passes it gets closer and closer, and also there's this lurking feeling in the back of my head, well a few feelings, first, we have no money for my college education, second my parents don't want me to chose the major I have chosen (Theatre) and thirdly I just am terrifed that I'll never be an actress, which has been my dream since i was old enuff to know what acting was and b4 then cuz i'd always put on plays n pretend games when i was 2, n i guess after years of hearing ppl laugh in my face (more specifically, family members), and tell me I'm wasting my intelligence n that I'm and idiot and that i'll never make it, I've just kinda started believing them and all that together just has me feeling like i'm not really here, just gliding thru life but not really alive, just empty

There are times when EVERYTHING seems empty. Like the other poster said though. Ice Cream! Ice Cream cartons are rarely empty. And you eat. And ponder. And the great thing is that after awhile that sweet taste affects your brain and ya realize life aint so bad after all! 🤣

yeah i've had that happen to me, normally i get extremely depressed and wished i was different than i am. But if i'm alon at the time, i'll find a dark place and sit there and think but if i'm out in public i'm mope around, and ignore people.

I really don't like when i get that way

all part of the game of life peeps.........

Haha ice cream huh? Ill be sure to give that a shot next time.

I feel that way all the time. It's like there isn't much too life.

I pretty much just work and sleep. If I'm not sleeping, I'm working, and if I'm not working, I'm sleeping.

I don't really see or communicate with many of my friends anymore, and I'm lonely. I need someone to be there, but my problem is that no man really understands my schedule.

I'm just kinda out there rolling with the punches and going with the same routine. It's gotten old.

Everyone should keep in mind that they are young. Life will change drastically as you all get older.

My great-grandmother died a few years ago at the grand age of 108. Imagine that. She was born in 1890, so she was 24 when WWI broke out, and 49 when WWII broke out.
Her mind worked until the very end, but eventually her sight and hearing started failing. My grandmother – who took care of her – told us, my great-grandmother would sit in her rocking chair at night and sing old songs. And she’d ask to die soon.
She had lived her life. She was happy with it, but tired – and she wanted to die. So when she finally did, I was happy for her.
Unable to UNDERSTAND a wish for death as I’m young as BF says.

Lady Eowyn says something interesting. About feeling blue and predictability of life.
Think of the future as a vast ocean. You can – in theory – go everywhere you want. The things you KNOW will happen, from meeting friends to going on vacation, or just getting up for a job, are like buoys that we can home in on.
Without them, that ocean will start to appear pretty scary. What way to go? Especially if there are no good buoys in the near future, something to look forward to.

Too often

I kinda feel like that right now, like theres something missing in my life, I just cant place it. I dont know exactly what it is, but it gets me down.

I dont often feel like that.

I go to university, i have a weekend job, i do photograpy in my spare time, I meet people from all over the world daily, I come to KMC and when im back home i hang arround with my old friends and have fun.

Sometimes i do feel like there is something missing, but i think thats everyone from time to time.

I can't say I get this feeling often, but when I do it hits hard. My friends say I am the most happiest person in the world, but sometimes I just feel so down for no reason, it happens very rarely though.

What works for me is filling my spare time, I find ways to keep me busy, and keeping myself busy keeps me happy. Like I have a job, I go to school (summer break now), do photogrphy, paint, do things with my friends, make movies, do calligraphy, and volunteer.

If I'm ever feeling that way I just force myself to go do aomething that I enjoy, or I pick up a new hobby, and I feel like myself again.

I feel this fairly often, it's nothing new to me. I just group it with depression; when I feel like this, I rarely smile, and am indifferent towards everything. And I don't like it; to remedy it, I just do something--anything--that I like, and normally, that'll help out a bit 😬

Actually, replace 'sudden' with 'continuous.'
