life help: I feel completely empty. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I feel completely empty.

I have lost all meaning in my life. I get no respect, and the dreams I had are gone. How do I start a new life because there is no going back to the old one.

Depends on your situation. Do you feel like you can correct whatever problems you have currently? Are you able to move, maybe start a new life in another city?

Dreams are always there - remind yourself of them. Don’t give up. The meaning of life is pursue your own idea of happiness. There will always be hccups in the road - life isn’t easy or fair to most people. All we have is our own aspiraions - don’t give up on yourself. Your the one tht has to make things happen. If you don’t take ownership of your pursuit for happiness it is rare that anyone else will put as much effort innto it for you. Your responsible for a large part of your life.

you know what you have to do?
find a person you love.
or find a complete stranger,
and give them a hug.
yes, you, the helpless one,
give to someone else, a person
who is prolly living a very good life.
this doesnt sound right,
but do it.
you wont regret it

There is always some else that feels just as helpless as you. Remember that you are never alone. You just have to get up and help your self. Nothing is pointless or lost. Just think about what you want in a long period of time and then make short term goals from there. I always think about life as a book, there are many chapters and the start and finish all of the time.

Run far away and start a whole new life, travel all over the place and see how beautiful the world can really be, meet new people, talk to bums (the ones that arnt all crazy and drunk all the time) live out of your car for awhile. you can be what you want to be, you aint got no resposibiblity, every man every man is free your a million miles from reality!

I feel this way because my friends left me, my family is screwed up, my sister is dying, my job threatens me with lay offs everyday. My ex won;t talk to me and my previous career went down the drain. I am financially bankrupt. I used to cope with drugs and alcohol, but I quit those because I was serious about ending my life and I needed to think straight. The more I try the harder it gets. I cry to the people I know to please listen and they mock me. One went so far as taking my emails and sending my cries for help to all of our mutual friends. Then she called me creepy and told me to get lost, because I trusted this person and asked them for help. I just cannot do this on my own anymore. I feel empty and alone.

I see you are in a very tough situation. I know how hard it is when friends turn aways(it shows who your real friends are in your toughest times), looks like none of them were your real friend anyway. I know how much a family effects your life..especially when you get no support, or encouragement from them. And loosing a family member is even harder! It looks like you have been hurt too many times by everyone around you and that is why you feel empty and alone! But who ever you are, I want you to know that there is hope!

thank you for the kind words, I remember when I used to feel hope, nowadays I just don’t know what to do. I am hurting really bad, but thank you for caring.

I finally opened up to a person I trusted about how much I was hurting, and it was the most honest I ever was, it was really hard for me to do. They sent my letter asking for help to many of my friends and completely made fun of me. Then they told me I was creepy and told me to GO AWAY!I admired this person. I had a breakdown and can’t get myself back together. I feel ashamed, creepy, and isolated. I can’t show my face. I feel like a complete loser.

your former “friends” are the creepy ones. who the hell does that to someone? u are so much better off without those people. maybe u could try and think of things as satrting over-u have a chance to start over clean and new. do something everyday that u enjoy. volunteering somewhere could help u-just knowing you’re being useful and helping someone could make u feel better about yourself and about things good luck

Live life for you and hold your head up high because you are all you have in life and you only get one life what are you going to do?
People come and go in life you are the only one who matters the most in your life unless you have children who depend on you then they are the uttmost importance.
Remember this(The average life span of a human is only 28 to 30 thousand days long)
so please make every day count life is very short.
