Ssaturn, what are your historical patterns like? Has this happened in the past: you experience a period of "emptiness" and then move into depression? If on the basis of past experience you know you are entering a depressive episode, then you can use that knowledge to prepare and alert your doctors/caregivers.

Emptiness rather than outright sadness is my primary experience of depression.

Wishing you the best, Ssaturn!
