Feeling of Emptiness?
I've recently lost a job that was even paying all that well (I only did it for a month), and I barely ever think on it anyway, but for some reason, I feel very empty inside ever since. All the things that used to enthuse me don't have any effect anymore, and I just feel like crying all the time. I can't really describe what I'm feeling. It's like a mixture of despair and lack of motivation.
I don't even think the loss of my job has anything to do with it besides that it could have been the trigger.I just feel like shit for no reason. My old self is gone and I don't understand why. I have opportunities ahead of me. I have afriendwho cares and whom I can talk to. My brother is coming home soon. Yet I feel empty.
Can anyone help?

I will listen to you. Message me.
I used to be so happy but lately I have this feeling of emptiness and I don't like it. I have put on some weight and I hate my own body and my self. Myfriends don't talk to me much and I feel so sad and alone. And I want to is eat, but when I do I feel bad and it's become a circle
Try to distract yourself with things that you are interested in, or things enjoy (or used to enjoy) doing. At the very least they will provide feelings of nostalgia, at the best it will cause joy. Then try to slowly transition that activity into something more productive. That might get you back on your feet and break the circle, especially if you have something that you still enjoy doing. But be careful not to stay on the activity you enjoy for too long, especially if it is not productive. That can form another loop and there are few things more difficult than breaking multiple "habit circles". I am basing this off of myself, so if this does not sound like it matches your feelings, then completely disregard it. Hope that you find your old self again!
