Has anyone ever felt empty for no reason? My boyfriend and I broke up almost three months ago. I can't tell if my feeling empty has to do with him. When we first broke up I know that was the cause of my emptyness and lonelyness. But now I don't know. I will be fine for one minute and then I seem to have no emotions at all and I become irritated very quickly. Anyone experience this or know what it could be? I have a few ideas myself but I dont want to jump the gun.

you are 21, think maybe it is trying to find direction in your life????

Generally I would say that your probably depressed. I have felt that way in the past, it might be true for you also.

I hope that you feel better soon, or I would seek a therapist to talk to...

I felt empty for different reasons.

I guess you could be feeling many things since your break up which is all normal.

Only best thing to do is try and keep your self very busy and move on. And in hopes you find some one else that you would rather spend your time with etc.

Do something you have never tried before and go in a different direction. Try someting completely out of you comfort zone. YOu might find life so much more exciting and it is ok to be upset but please dont let it linger or blled over into any other reationships. Get over it and move on.

I get that empty feeling time to time, but nothing some beer can't solve.

hey chopper--

Sometimes I'll feel empty or depressed for no reason. Although, I think I may have some type of depression, so I don't know if it's a normal thing or not.

Most experts will tell you it's a defense mechanism. If you don't allow yourself to feel anything at all, you never have to worry about feeling the things that MAY lead to more hurt.

It's fairly normal to experience this sort of thing coming out of a relationship that meant something to you. There was hurt; people don't like being hurt, they tend to avoid whatever it is that caused the hurt.

In most cases, it starts to ease off after awhile -- the farther away the hurt gets, chronologically, the harder it is to hold onto it with the same stranglehold. Life goes on, and you'll want to get past all that. In the meantime, it's good to keep busy with other things, as others have suggested.

Try some new things that sound interesting to you. Something may just click and be the perfect way to discover more meaning in your life. However, if nothing at all seems interesting, you may need to talk to a professional.

Good Luck!! If you just want someone to listen, send me an e-mail. (((hugs)))

Hey Joyce!

Yeah shadow pass that jack and lets rock man!

I think a lot of people have periodic bouts with loneliness, emptiness, or bad thoughts. Just try to focus on doing something that you really enjoy and as long as it is only a temporary thing, you have nothing to worry about. If you still feel that same way in 2 weeks then it might be good to talk to a counselor about it.

Since we have broken up I have gotten a new job that keeps me very very busy. I also have been trying to get into a new group of friends but when I go out with them I feel like I am a third wheel. Also I am hoping to start back to school as soon as I can afford it. So that should help me alot but for the time being its making me crazy and the people around me even more crazy. But thank you all for your input!
