Is it normal to feel empty?

Recently, especially with the arrival of summer, I've been left feeling almost empty. I suffer from a tad bit of insomnia, meaning that I hardly even think of sleep until the early hours of the morning. In this time period of night, I will often find myself feeling truly empty. It isn't a normal feeling either; there is no comfort in this feeling, but rather dread.

I have a decent job. I work with kids in a summer day-camp and even though it can be stressful, I would like to say I enjoy it. I have a perfectly fine family, and my friends are busy but they make time to text or chat with me every now and then.

However, I wake up everyday an hour before work, go and work for a time, and then come home to laze about and wait for sleep to come over me. I honestly don't know what to do with my time, other than summer reading homework for my schooling, and most of my friends either have conflicting time schedules or aren't up for constant hanging out.

I don't know what to think about this emptiness that I feel and truthfully, I hope it isn't an oncoming of depression, as I have suffered from the mental instability in the past.

Is this normal?

    Feeling empty sometimes it's a normal part of life. It's not always exciting.

    I think you should see a psychiatrist for a check up, who knows they might give you a resolution you need. Or talk with someone you trust, you love about how you feel as it will definitely make you feel much better if not fully recover.
