Is it normal to feel so empty;;

80% Normal
6 Comments

For the past 3 years, ever since I came to the United States, I’ve been feeling so depressed and empty. My parents treat me well, they give me food, shelter, and enough love and my siblings and friends keeps me company most of the time. I’ve also been participating in after-school clubs, sports, and even volunteer work to busy myself but nothing I do helps this dull feeling inside me, it’s like i feel like I’m gonna implode because of it. And sometimes I can’t even breath- Also sometimes my motivation for things just drop for absolutely no reason. I just want it to be normal again where I can laugh so hard my stomach rips in 2 and I die

I just want to know if this is normal for someone who's young and have their whole lives ahead of them with a loving, supportive family and/or friends.

    Now, this is my opinion but I think schools do nothing I believe they just want us to say "I'm okay" so we're not a burden on them.

    I honestly feel the same as you. I feel so numb, even pain doesn't even phase me.

    What is your age, first?

        Same.
        But, I don't think you can be "normal" again cause we change everyday, and we grow as a person every single day but if you want to be happy again, thats up to you if you want that happiness back. That just depends if your a fighter or runner.

    Depression isn't dependent on situation, and it can be debilitating. Does your school have a counselling service you can use? They might be helpful, or at the very least be able to point you in the direction of someone who can help.

    Good luck.

      Thank you for replying, Ive only been to the school counselor once and they only talked about the basic questions like: who do you sit with at lunch, do you have any troubles, etc... And even then that was a while ago

        No worries. I'm sorry they're so unhelpful. That's really shitty. Seems to be the standard, but as it's probably the easiest to access, best to check.

        Do you think you'd be able to see a proper psychologist? It seems like your parents are pretty supportive - would that extend to looking into proper mental healthcare, too?
