Why do we feel sometimes empty from inside?

You need to love.  When I was feeling empty, mum and dad had died within a year of each other, grandmother died at 102, during the same time, job not as exciting as it used to be, marriage on the rocks.  I brought  a kitten into the house. And I was in love .. with a kitten.  I named him Merlin cos he brought magic into my life.  The fact of being able to love took away the grieving and the emptiness.  \nA kitten might not be your cup of tea, but you get the idea, give out love, and it bounces right back to you two fold and fills those empty spaces.  \nGo and do something really nice for someone you don't even know.  Keep smiling.  Write again if you don't feel better very soon.\nThinking of you

These kind of feeling will come when you are not busy. Keep yourself busy doing something. Take your time to relax also. Go around. Find some good places with entertaining friends. Friends are the one who can make you feel good. Enjoy urself visiting new places if you feel so. Do some service oriented projects if you are willing for ? You can always learn from what others undergo..isnt it.. It is the world and it will be like that. What you think is what you are. If you are a fool, you are a fool. If you are  smart, you are smart. So, think and be focused as what you want to be.\n\nIn Seva

Maybe you need something to fill your soul. I felt powerless once and tried to do everything to make me feel better about life and myself but nothing worked. Then I found God and I'm a changed man. I'm still powerless without Him but through Him I can do anything. If you think this is silly, then when you run out of options, you might just give God a chance. Who knows, you may just find what you are looking for. I know I did.

Hey, people are not destined to be alone. There is someone out there in this world who is destined for you. Sometimes, they are just right infront of you but you didn't see them! \n\nWe have to meet the wrong persons before meeting the right one. Apperance doesn't count. Its better to read a book than to judge it.\n\nI feel empty, too, at times, but come to think of it again, I have my family and friends who loves me as much. A few of them are also people I could confide it.\n\nSo feel blessed, and don't feel empty.

I think that it must be lonely. I personally have had a brief glimpse of "on top" and I was miserable. I didn't feel like anyone was really my friend or trustworthy. I felt isolated and threatened. \nOf course I have also experienced "the bottom" and that was just as miserable. I felt like everyone was judging me. I felt trapped and alone. So I chose to maintain the happy medium.\nI can't speak for everyone who has ever experienced success, just myself.

Unfortunately, this happens quite often to me. I usually put on a pot of coffee, read a book for a while, or hit the net to get my mental juices flowing. I write to get out all of my feeling in a journal, and that seems to help tremendously. I hope you find something that works for you!

Hi.  It sounds as though you have an underlying depression.  I would say that of course you miss your finace when you are away from her but I doubt that is the underlying reason for feeling down when you are away from her.  Just wondering if you have been subtly depressed most of your life (dysthymia).  If you have true clinical depression then it wouldn't matter if you has zillions of dollars, a fantastic job, gorgeous fiance and tons of friends.  Real depression shows no mercy to anyone---no matter how great your life is and all the things that "should" make you happy.   If your body has a chemical imbalance (even a slight one) then nothing on the outside is going to take that empty feeling away.  I would definately talk to a doctor if you are not feeling good.  Doctors today treat depression regularly and are not judgemental.  I know because I have everything to be thankful for, great husband, great son, good health, nice home etc... but for some reason I sometimes have a sad empty feeling that seems to creep in out of nowhere.  That is just mother nature screwing with my physical self.  Being away from our fiance may trigger depression but it is not the underlying cause.

having battled depression most of my life i can honestly say there is no "real" answer to this...\nit could be as simple as a genetic defect in the mind not creating enough seratonin, or more complicated as in your life turned out no where near where you thought you'd be and you feel like you let yourself, and others down.

ive felt like this soo many times in life....for a long time i wallowed in it, wondering what to do. then i started finding things to occupy my mind, like i started exercising by myself, or you know reading and stuff. life sometimes is funny, like you go through things that are sooo miserable, but then later in life, its like wow, that really made me appreciate any piece of happiness i get....i am a better person, and more compassionate i think because i went through some rough times when i was younger.

Some people feel very much alone when ignored by their boyfriend or girlfriend.  They feel like they are not loved or liked and taken for granted sometimes.  It is as if they do not exist and it is a very lonely feeling.  I would rather be alone period than experience loneliness in a relationship because it is twice as bad since you care about someone but they don't care about you and it makes you lonely and empty and inside.

There was an nytimes article that talked about why one might feeling like there was a being behind them, but it could be explained by currents to parts of the brain.\n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/03/health/psychology/03shad.htmlex=1317528000&en=eeb8e23490396c32&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss\nor go to nytimes and type in out of body experience
