My mind feels hollow?!


Question: My mind feels hollow?
I have been experiencing so much anxiety lately. I feel so strange. I don't feel sad, but I just feel . . . well, like I said, hollow. It feels like whenever I NEED to think about something, it just blows through my head like a gust of wind. Like my entire skull itself is hollow. Whenever I try to sleep, it's the same feeling, and I experience things like blacking out, but only when I'm trying to sleep. I lay in bed, turn off the lights and my mind just shuts down. I'm not dreaming, I'm not even sleeping. I'm just completely lifeless until I come to my senses ten to thirty minutes later and realize what happened, and then I can't fall back asleep because I'm too scared.

I don't even know what put me in this state to begin with. I can't make any coherent thought. I've been overthinking so much recently that I just decided to repress it all, and now it's trying to come out in my dreams.

I'm left with this sickly feeling in the back of my head and the back of my throat, as if my head really IS hollow. It gives everything this strange, unreal feeling. Honestly, I'm desperately wishing I could just be happy again, but I don't know how to do it anymore. I was so close to breaking down and telling my dad yesterday, but he has been SO happy recently. He's been fighting with his girlfriend and they made up and she came back home so he's been so relieved that everything is "back to normal". And I just really don't want to bring up my feelings to him. I keep wishing they'll just go away. I don't want to disturb the lively atmosphere of this house. But then I don't know how else to deal with these feelings . . . I don't even know if I can.

I don't know. I guess I just need support. Everything is just so overwhelming lately.

This sounds like a great set up for a blonde joke.

You sound exhausted and are having a hard time making any decisions.



God can help your life. Sounds like you need to know God, your spiritual Father, then pray about your life. He can help you live a better life. As God is love, life is primarily about love and relationships in order to have a rich and full life. Also, you need to know God's Son, Jesus Christ, in your life as your Lord and Savior as Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sins. Having Him with you will give you God's blessing and forgiveness, as you live God's way. We need to know and follow God in this life so we can go to heaven after we die, and so we can get God's help now. Not following God leads to hell, eternal suffering. Instead, there is an important prayer to pray to become a born again Christian. This prayer should be said with faith in God and a sincere heart:
"Dear God, I know that I am a sinful person and I don't want to be like this anymore. I know that Jesus Christ died on the cross as payment for our sins, and I want to accept Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever so I can receive God's forgiveness, guidance, and go to heaven after I die. Thank you, dear God, for your mercy and guidance; in Jesus' name. Amen."
After saying this prayer, you should check out a Christian church like Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran.
Also, get into their Bible study group so you can learn more about God, Jesus, and God's will for your life. The Bible is God's instruction book about how to live a God-honoring life so you can go to heaven after you die. The church can also get you baptized and prayed for. You can pray for yourself daily too. God guide your life.

It sounds to me like you're experiencing a state of mind that yogis and such are seeking and training sometimes a lifetime for.
What goes wrong for you is that it scares you. You might cherish it instead.
Once I had blue flashes for my eyes. It scared me, thought I blew my mind. Then I discovered that I could "divine" things, aided by the flash. Shortly thereafter they ceased.
Now, I wouldn't be surprised if the same worked for you: stop being afraid and start utilizing it instead, if you can.
If you need to see someone, consult with a "spiritual teacher" first, before some doctor makes a living out of doping your mind.

I'm sure neither your mind nor your body is in danger.
