It’s been going on for awhile, but I haven’t really expressed it out in the open until now. I would feel a sense of being empty, questioning what I am doing and things of that nature. Sometimes, wanting to be alone or I feel empty despite being with friends or around people at work.
I am a little better now but this feeling would last for 2-4 days straight, worsening over that course of time. After it hits its peak, it comes back down. This cycle has been going on every 1-2 months. Yesterday was when it was the worst, lasting all day and through the night.
Here’s what I was feeling: I start the day and I feel empty. I wouldn’t say it’s a sad feeling, just empty and didn’t want to interact with people. My job requires interaction with people. By nature, I do enjoy interacting with people and am happy. But when I was hit with this feeling, I had to gather the energy to smile, talk, and try to be friendly. I felt low, empty, and didn’t have a clear mind. I would try to push through by listening to music or watching some videos from HeartSupport, but I still felt that empty, hollow feeling inside.
Does anyone else get that feeling or am I alone? How do I cope with something that continues to occur?
