[lonely and scared]

I feel so empty inside like there is nothing there that has any meaning any more in my life. I have lost all hope that I will get better as I have felt like this for a very long time, I also think that it has gotten worse where I don't see the point in anything any more.
It just seems that I have been sucked into this black hole of nothingness and this is me now where my life feels worthless

Dear lonely and scared.
I feel empty and lonely sometimes too. At least you know that you are not alone in feeling that way. I will keep you in my thoughts as just knowing that I am not alone in how I feel is a small measure of comfort. Thank you for posting how you are feeling.

I guess I know how you feel. I've felt that way from time to time. Like nothing matters, like things will never get better. I still kinda feel that way now. Just know that nothing lasts forever. Storms may rage for a while, but never forever. Once the energy is expended, the sky starts to clear eventually.

I can relate to feeling empty and having a lack of meaning in life. I often feel that way too. The only positive is that it won't last forever. In my experience there has always been an end to the emptiness--I just have to keep myself going--somehow keep myself going until things get better.

This is a very familiar feeling for me. You're in the mist of a deep depressive episode. Usually this happens to me when I'm going through PMS. Not sure if you're going through it or not. In any case the best way to get past this feeling is to accept that you are feeling bad and try to describe what your body feels like. The second thing to do is to call somebody you like to talk to. Usually I call my best friend who also struggles with depression. I tell her every thing I'm feeling and she validates the feelings. After I get off the phone I feel better. I hope you're in treatment and on some time of medication which will help with these episodes and keep them from getting out of control.

Hugs to you!

Hi lonely and scared. I can so relate to how you feel, please remember no life is worthless. When I feel so empty i try to get outside to watch the wind in the trees, and feel the wind rain or sun on my face. i can then start to think of the rejuvenation of nature. Sometimes i cannot feel it, but then I have to force myself to.
I hope you find some comfort on this site - we are all here for you.
