Sometimes I just feel empty... Like I'm not present but rather watching myself like a movie. It's like the is another me acting in front of other people but the real me is just observing... I can't feel anything but hurt anymore and that in itself hurts. I'm always conflicted in every decision and unsettled and anxious... I'm falling apart and it scares me.

Emptiness, in contrast to sadness, is my primary experience of depression. I also have a certain sense of self-detachment.

Hey,
Beanbag do you have some kind of support system sounds like an out of body experience which I have had once for about a week and it was one of my lowest times in my life. If you don't have anyone I would strongly advise that you let a professional know so that they can help you through this. Hang in there I know the feeling it is extremely weird to say the least. Keep talking here as we all get it and talking always seems to help me...

I can relate so so well, but I believe that that emptiness can be fulfilled. The way it was explained to me is that that emptiness is a way to cope. I'm sorry that you are hurting so badly. Is there anyone, like a T, that you can talk to?

I notice that when my depression is the worst, I feel more empty, numb and detached. Its like everything is blunted. Almost like I'm wrapped in a bubble of dampening space. (I know, strange). It can be very scary to feel that 'apart' from yourself.
I find that when I feel this way, I tend to just want to sleep. Sometimes, though, if I have the energy or guilt, I will accompany my husband to walk the dog. After the walk, I feel a little better. Just getting outside in the sunshine can lift my mood some. I know it's a small, simplistic thing, but it helps some for me. Also, I know that staying in bed tends to make me absorbed in my phone, and further increases my sense of isolation. Except when posting here! Good luck all
