Empty void?!
Question: i have this empty feeling in my life. my life is filled with things. even with oodles of love but i feel like i'm just going in circles.
i live at home and try to get out of the house alot.
is being alone heaps not helping with the emptiness feeling? (i live in a tiny town)
any other ideas as to what might be contributing to the empty/down feeling?

the clue is in what you wrote...
if you feel you are going in circles, you probably are.
find a hobby
write down 100 things that you want (to do, to have)
set a short term goal
get a pet (a dog)
if you believe in a higher being, then pray.
when you find out tell me! i live in suburbia and these ppl are the dullest ive ever seen!!
I often feel like this when I don't have a goal to strive for in life. You should sit down and write down a couple goals you would like to achieve. Once you start to work towards these goals (be it a new talent you may want to learn) you will start to feel better about yourself because you are working towards something instead of going with the natural flow of life and essentially just floating there in life being pushed around.
are you married/unmarried? kids/no kids?
do you enjoy your job/studies? do you have a good circle of friends?
I dunno. Analyze yourself. Are you unhappy about something in your life, or do you think it's chemical depression that's hurting you? If it overwhelms you, see someone about it.
But I'll try to cheer you up. Just be glad you're not in my situation! I'm a man who is confined to his apartment and has been since '05! Not even allowed to wear clothes or refuse seeing stupid counselors, and I did nothing. I was put here by my ex who got a judge and a therapist to put me away on non-existent charges. It stinks!
I can't fight this and can't do anything anymore. Have no more money to fight it. I have no happiness. I'd love to get out, but can't, so here I stay! This is miserable for me! :-(
Just look at the good in your life! :-)
Get out of your house and into your community !! There are plenty of volunteer jobs at the local hospital, Red Cross, or nursing home....
Also you should try some new hobbies and interests such as a scuba diving course, art classes, or dance classes..
Do you like to sing? A hometown chorus or church choir would be a nice way to share your voice and enjoy others.....
For exercise you could join an aerobics class, take tennis lessons, swimming lessons..
Also for educational enhancement you could check into your local community college education office... take the free tests that tell you what your strengths are and what college classes you would do well in for a degree....
Good luck...
