Feeling empty

I've been feeling really empty lately. I don't seem to care about anything anymore. I barely passed because I neglected my grades, I don't feel like talking to people, I don't seem to care about my father's drinking problem, I just want to lay in bed all day, don't feel like playing many video games, my crush on someone died out completely, the list goes on. Worst thing is, one of the few things I feel is pain. I've been cutting recently, as it makes me feel something. Not very deep, but still bad. I'm completely stuck, any attemp at doing anything ends up with me giving up.

Sorry if this seems like an "edgy teen post" from someone who is "just looking for attention"

When I feel like this I try to do something creative. I'll write some music, work on my novel, make a picture, work on an app, go to the gym, read a book or build something out of Lego. Yesterday I felt a bit like this so I made some funny birthday cards for my boyfriend in Photoshop using photos of the puppy, and made the envelopes from coloured paper.

After doing something creative like this I usually feel better. It can be hard to motivate yourself to do something productive when you feel depressed, and it takes discipline to keep it up. But it's worth it.
 
when i got feelings alike it helped me to keep a dairy, a book to write down what you do, why you do what you do and how you feel, this because you'll find out why you feel the way you feel, and you will most likely see how to change this for the better.

Sounds like depression. My suggestion is: start an exercise regime, eat healthy, pursue your life passion. That will make you feel much better. I think it's very common of people just being consumers, doing nothing, being lazy, chasing empty pleasures. It's not for what we were intended.

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Why so serious!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BakerMan, yeah that's about the only reason I would vote for Trump over Biden.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In my opinion on all other factors they are pretty much the same.
