have you experience a time in your life that you felt so empty for no reason?

Yes I have and I played the role like everything was fine out in public and behind closed doors I was a mess. I cried for no reason and stopped taking phone calls from friends and never left my house nor let any one in. I can say that I'm finally coming out it and realizing that you can't do it alone. You really do need positive people in your life and you need prayer. When yo surround your self with positive prayful people who truley have your best interest at heart that tends to bring you out of your funk. I'm thankful everyday for my life and for God giving us Jesus. Be thankul for you life and for having this moment to make a difference. I think if you actually find soemthing to make your life meaningful whether it's voluteering in a food bank or just giving back to the community in some way; it should make you feel happy and blessed and hopefully help you realize that your life is great. You're alive you have access to a computer, you can read as well as write. Just that right there makes you better off than a whole lot of people. Love yourself and love your life right now because you never know when it may end; so give them something to talk about.  I love you in Christ and I wish you healing and blessings.

It sounds like you need some kind of activity or even a change of lifestyle to fill the void.Have you considered\nvolunteer work of some kind? You meet new people and get the feeling of satisfaction from helping others.You don't\nfeel empty when you're being stimulated like that.

Its funny how you can go through life so carefree and happy, until you fall in love..Then you feel what true happiness is like.  Then you lose that person and life can never go back to being the same, you're never complete, and life feels somewhat empty.\n\nI know it sucks now..but I want you to know that it gets better.  Life got much clearer one morning when I was late for work and I'm running around looking for my keys.  I searched everywhere...EVERYWHERE... eventually I just gave up.  I reached in my shirtpocket for gum and there are my keys.  Enlightenment reached.  Just lets it happen is the moral of the story, but remember chance favors a prepared mind.  Stay prepared cause life comes at you fast.

Aparently something because this happened to me.\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

I think a lot of people feel that way from time to time! I have felt that way when I was having anxiety or depression. It is kind of an detach feeling, or a feeling of unreality. If you are feeling this way often than you might want to talk to your doctor! \n\nI hope you feel better soon!!! Best wishes to you!

I need a break when nothing makes sense anymore.\nAnd when the break is over... i don't feel refreshed (or maybe just  a little) but mostly I'm angry that the break is over.

Yes, all of us have had bad days, but few of us have experienced grieving over a murdered child. My sympathies and thoughts are with you!\n\nWe all feel alone sometime, and we all try to deal with that in our own ways. Sometimes by endlessly seeking distractions, sometimes by facing our own fears, doubts, anxieties...\n\nBut life requires that of us. Growth is almost always uncomfortable and sometimes very painful, but it's pain for something, if we're honest, if we're true to ourselves and if we genuinely care about the meaning and effect of our lives.\n\nI would much rather experience the pain of facing myself... and accomplishing something of substance in my life... then run away from myself... and at the end of it all, look back and think... "What was it all for? What real difference did I make?"\n\nGood luck to you.

Hi - I'm sorry that you feel that way. It sounds like you may need to talk with someone professional. There are so many things to be done that can help you to feel more social, or to alleviate that "empty" feeling. I hope you mention these feelings to someone near you who is kind and very caring.

I felt a sense of calm and peace associated with the beauty of nature, and have an unexplained feeling of happiness. \n\nYesterday, I stopped my car and observed this mother duck and her litter of 8-10 ducklings hoddling across my path. I just thought it was beautiful.

It was when two little girls gave me a kitten.  They were going door to door trying to find a home for him, and I ended up being the one they gave him to.\n\nIt was at a time in my life when I was feeling depressed.  I was extremely unhappy in my marriage (now divorced, but still have the cat) and finances were going downhill, and everything just seemed dark.  Then, along come these two angels who brought handed me happiness.  And whenever i am feeling down, it's like the cat senses it, and he acts silly or just lies next to me and helps me feel better.

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 didn't need rescucitatation, but I almost died.\n\nBooma & devilish_vlue are right, there was complete nothingness, but it still made me feel weird afterwards, like maybe I should have died and that somehow I was given a second chance.\n\nI have mended my old ways, but slowly. I know something or someone is looking after me.
