Feeling empty, iin?

Fill the space by volunteering. It's both inspirational and admirable. You'll feel fulfilled.

Your Muse is dead; paint her desiccated corpse.

I feel the same way all the time, like it was said before by another person, some people try drugs sex alcohol food relationships things money love etc. To fill this emptiness we feel but none of that ever works... I've tried a lot of those things and have only ended with the same result every time, the feeling of emptiness or that something is missing. The only thing that has helped fill this hole is finding myself, which I haven't even quite yet found but with a lot of hard work, and soul searching over time I have found bits and pieces of myself to start to build a foundation to fill the emptiness I feel. I don't know if this what you need or even feel, what it would take or even if there is a solution to this. But if there's one thing I do know it's that this is a painful feeling, and with pain comes healing. Without the pain and hurt in life we could not fully appreciate or feel the joy or happiness. Because it wouldn't be special then. In my experience working through the pain is always worth it in the end, because it makes the healing process that much more beautiful, and rewarding in the end.

I hope you find what your not even quite sure what you're looking for, have faith. You can faith in anything, as long as you have it to keep you going is all that matters. Your not alone

Have had the same thing many times and I'm actually feeling that way right now. Usually it goes away after some time. But sometimes this empty feeling requires "drastic" measures...

I have had a feeling that i can only describe as emptiness as well. I think what i feel is slightly different than yours though, but I think it is normal. It is difficult and makes me cry sometimes as well.

It is my opinion that a lot of people have this feeling of lacking as well because we all try and fill ourselves with something be it food, alcohol, parties, sex, drugs or on the healthier side spirituality or finding God, Jesus, Allah, or just forgiveness.

I think we all have this feeling that we are not yet complete and we have to search for what does complete us. I don't mean "you complete me" because that is in fact an unhealthy relationship because every individual should be whole themselves before choosing to be with another. That aside some people want families some want fulfilling jobs or artistic fulfillment or some combination thereof. Maybe there is something you are drawn to do in life that this feeling is leading you to discover? whatever it is you probably want something more and just feel it much more than others.

I had this problem and my art teacher told me to first just draw things, anything. Draw a dog and it could turn out into something amazing that helps you express your feelings. It sounds like that is what you have trouble with, expressing your feelings.

What you are feeling is like a bereavement,

I have recently sold my business due to the recession, I have similar feelings every morning. I miss my busy life.

lots of people paint or draw things that look very sad and empty so maybe you should try that

like maybe your empty feeling is what you want to draw
