Empty Feeling
11.07.2016 by XdrTiger

I have this feeling in my chest sometimes, this feeling of emptiness. I will be fine and happy one minute and then all of a sudden I get the feeling in my chest and I just sit there trying to figure out what the feeling is, in that moment I don't feel anything else but that feeling, sometimes I even feel sad.

I'm really freaking out about this feeling, does anyone else have it?

I feel exactly the same... Sometimes I just feel nothing.
I am both happy and sad at the same time and I am still trying to figure out how that could be
I can do things which are bad but I don't feel quilty.. I can do the best things but I never feel like I have made something good, something what can make me happy..

Luckily a quick cuddle and a smile from my wife snaps me out of it.

But the emptiness, when it's there, overcomes me.

I get that feeling all the time. Just feel empty, like there's nothing there. Feels likes a hole in your chest. When i get like that, i just sit, sometimes it passes quickly. But other times it stays for a long time

Fear

So, I can't describe any of my feelings, i can't feel love or care for friends, close friends, and even family(just my mon and dad i guess) exepct for my ex girlfriend. We dated for 4 years, and almost got married. But we broke up 5 mouths ago. And I have to tell her my feelings tomorrow. I just wander if anyone have a special person like that? Her is the only one that makes me feel something

Disconnect

I too feel this emptiness, or this disconnect.

It has lead to my depression in the past but discovering Buddhism and learning to not only try and accept the person I am but maybe even like the person I am has helped combat this.

I get that too, and it's so damn tangible that I had to name it because it sucks 'me' whole. It feels like I go back to my 'real self' when I'm that empty.

A goddamn black hole; the Void.

I found this site after looking at information on something similar. It described it as a different way of feeling depression where I was looking, of course I didn't read it in depth and I don't know much about psychology and what not. But maybe this is a pathway for you to figure out what is going on.
