I have always felt like I am never complete. I feel as if there is a part missing from me. I feel extremely lonely. It's like I have some emotional void that I have to fill.
For years I have been filling it with men, who all turned out to be bad and massive failures of relationships. It doesn't help that I am desperate to fill this void so put the responsibility of my happiness and hopes on to them.
I am currently single and feel so overwhelmingly lonely. I am desperate for a relationship but I am determined this time to take it slow, not settle and find a really nice person.
But a part of me is having crazy thoughts that I should go out there and get pregnant. It's completely crazy but I feel like a baby will fill that void. Which it won't, it'll just make my life a hundred times harder. I think.
So is this all normal? After all my crazy behaviour for years, I have only just realised I am part empty and have an emotional void.

    Look into 'Borderline Personality D/O'
    And try DBT, CBT skills.

    I felt that way. I was tough enough to stick it out and find that ONE nice, attractive, perfect man for me. I was unhappy single and wanted to love someone. So there are people like you out there, just don't have a baby. That's way too drastic. Keep your standards high, focus on your happiness. You can't make someone else happy if you can't even take care of yourself. It was a hard lesson for me to learn, but it works.

    Maybe you need to create happiness for yourself. Is there anything you still want to do? Maybe you'll come across somebody you like even when you aren't searching. Don't force it, but if it feels right go for it. My opinion is that we all have something missing that we will with stuff like drugs or t.v. or anything really and for me it was God. But there is a time and place for everything, maybe having, or adopting a child is your true calling. If you want to play it safe you could always babysit in the spare time and that might show you how much children make you happy. Just an idea :)
