How do you handle with emptiness ?

July 2nd, 2016

Even when I try to distract myself with something, it doesn't help, the feeling is always there. It's impossible to get rid of it, yes, but we're here alive which means that we somehow live with it. How it affects your daily life ?

By focusing on your blessings and seeingthe glass half full rather than half empty. You go empty only if you think you are worthless. But nobody in this world borne without a mission or purpose . Even a bad person has woeth and should not feel empty or worthless. Emptiness is created by the mind, a misconception. Pray and read the Bible . . There you will find that God gives us fullness of life and thus, tou will not feel empty anymore!@alexlove

Thank you for your comment, it's really appreciated, but it's not me who wants help, this is just a question for people who suffer from this illness :)

I don't think I handle emptiness very well at all. As mentioned, sometimes I do trigger myself just to feel anything at all.

Other times I just sit with it. I don't do anything to fix it or deal with it. I stay in bed all day. I ignore everything.

I'm so sorry to hear this. But seeking for someone just to listen to you is a great start.

I don't handle emptiness well, I usually try and fill it with drugs or love. I feel like I am addicted to my boyfriend, I use him to try and feel something good. When he's not around I can't stop thinking about him and count down the hours until he comes home, I get so overwhelmed by the love I feel for him its like I'm drowning. He doesn't feel the same way though, and it hurts but I just have to hold onto the fact that he does love me.
