Has anyone felt hollow or empty ?

[FoxSauce]

Well im not aure how to explain this so I'll word it the best way as I can in my own experience.

Sunday (last week) I felt an insane amount of emptiness and was bored out of my mind.

I tried to do the usual things I do but I still felt just...nothing..the best way I can describe it is just a void and I dont mean like depression does. (Again apologies if I offend anyone)

I became a bit peeved cuz I dont like this feeling and well stated to.pull my hair-


Ok the question is what do you do when you feel like this or how do you cope?

All the time

I am going through this now also, same EXACTL feelings.

For me it feels like there is this deep void within me that can never be filled. No matter if I'm happy or sad or whatever, that deep void always exists and it feels very dark and gloomy and makes everything in life appear gloomy for me.

And yeah I also feel empty on the inside. This is different from the void feeling for me. No matter what I try to do, even stuff that I enjoy, I feel empty, I feel lonely and feel very disconnected from people and myself.

It's very difficult to cope with because nothing really makes these feelings go away.

Just sitting with them and feeling these feelings has helped me, but it takes time. Getting in touch with nature also helps me, going on hikes and appreciating all the wild life and all the animals in the wild.

Well I explained this to my doctor (ofc I have bpd ) he explained that ia like a forest fire your so used to extinguish said fires (conflicts, intense emotions or even a disagreements) constant once your done you just dont have anything else.

Can be different for everyone idk this is just me, I dunno if you mean this exactly

Yes. I think it's the mind's way of protecting itself from its own thoughts. I usually feel this way when I'm disassociated.

I'm not really sure how to fix it. I don't do much of anything when I'm anhedonic like that, pretty much just mindlessly scroll on the internet and talk to people. And write journals to myself. It is quite boring, although for me it can also be relieving after feeling so many overwhelming emotions all the time.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I hope it gets better soon.

A void that can't be filled by anything. Yeah.Pretty much all the time.

I wish I knew how to cope with this. I feel empty all the time.
