Ever wake up and feel that deep empty feeling?

Stick it up her bum.

Oh wait, this is about something else.
 
In all honesty I don;t even have time to think when I get up right now, I usually just go "damn, I hate waking up early" and go to work/class.

I think you've kinda been dodging the questions so far Raziaar. Do you have a job or a pursuit to further yourself right now? School is not as good an incentive to socialize as work is, because people tend to stay with their groups at schools unless you join an organization.

Really, you need to just go out there and find a job that FORCES you to socialize with people. That'll give you confidence, and in turn, that confidence will show and allow you to make friends more easily.

Get out there man, sitting back and being worried about being alone has gotten you nowhere thus far, so we know that doesn't work. How about you go out and put yourself out there? It's hard to do at first, but it gets better. Just try.
 
In quite a few ocasions I have dreamt about falling in love with someone and actually living a live with that person that I don't even know. An unknown face really. And when I woke up and realized it was a dream and that person doesn't exist, I feel a hell of a deep emptyness for a day or two.

Depressing as hell..

This man speaks the truth. Go sign up for a community college bra' for me it didn't neccessarily help as far as my studying..3 hours a week doesn't do shit..but it has made me more social therefore less depressed and being around people interested in the same shit as I makes me more motivated in general...

Not really dodging questions. It's pretty much common knowledge I'm jobless and living home with my dad right now.

I'm disappointed in this thread.

Not about the advice and stuff given, but how I've unintentionally lead it to be about me and focused on me. That wasn't my intention, but that's how it became.
 
Ah sorry then, I wasn't aware.

So seriously though, go out and get a job. The extra money will be great, and the social skills it'll help develop will be doubly so. The main thing is, you have to get out of whatever rut you're in and go do something, rather than sit back and hope the problem magically fixes itself. Moping around never helped anyone, it's alright to feel like that sometimes, but not if you don't try to do something to fix the situation.
 
At least you didn't wake up with a carrot in your ass.

Don't worry about that, there's been some really good advice here.
 
Well to be honest I've gone out and gotten a couple jobs recently, but I wasn't able to keep them due to physical problems. <sigh>
 
Oh Raz.

I don't feel empty inside anymore when I wake up, generally cos Dad literally flings me out of bed in the mornings cos he hate sit when I sleep in.
 
Raziaar.

I'm serious.

Job / Car / School

Then get invited to parties

Then get drunk

Then get hit on by women

Then get laid

Then be happy
 
Loneliness is one of the most awful feelings in the world dude. You might not even think you're lonely. I used to wake up to an empty house everyday, get on the internet for a little bit, do my thing, had lots to look forward to and people to see. Yet still, my appetite was lacking, I couldn't concentrate well and I was always feeling somewhat empty. Eventually I'd wake up with that same feeling you describe. You're alone, and you're feeling down because of it, but you still might not actually realise it.

I'm feeling it even now in University, I might be surrounded by like 400 people in a lecture room, but I still feel empty because I don't know anyone (luckily this will be solved soon). You just have to get out like everyone else said. Get a job with some decent people, make friends and get a nice social network going. Don't dwell on what you have or haven't done in the past, just concentrate on improving yourself in the future.
 
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family, choose a ****ing big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers.

Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends.

Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of ****ing fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-crushing game shows, stuffing ****ing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, ****ed-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you’ve got heroin?
 
When I wake up its due to my alarm going off and playing a random, fast paced ultra-happy song that makes me throw off the covers jump up and start dancing in my boxers,

This morning it was Sophisticated Side Ponytail by Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. **** yeah.
 
I hardly ever wake up in the morning feeling like that although sometimes I can get depressed late at night. So really, if I just went to sleep early, I could probably avoid it...

Not really a helplife2 thread, since I'm not looking for help really.

Just want to know really if other people here wake up some days and feel completely empty inside. I don't know if it's really an emotional void, but perhaps it is. Difficulty concentrating on things and really doing much at all other than just vegetating around in a depressive state. Though it's not the usual sort of depression I feel either.

It's just a feeling of emptiness inside. And it typically lasts a couple days or a few months.

The only thing I feel when I wake up is the overriding need to empty my bladder.
 
I woke up today feeling sick and tired which makes me feel depressed. I didn't get much sleep last night but it being a Full Moon out may have something to do with it. Or there could be something in the water. But its probably just the changing of the seasons, I usually have a tough time breathing and sleeping when the seasons shift which can last about 2-4 weeks unfortunately

You need to make active decisions to change yourself or you're going to keep having that lower quality of life. Find the little things in life that make yours worth living. Look for the clich?s, it sounds stupid but it helps during hard times. Talk with your friends about it.
Seek help, it can make a difference as well, there are good light-medications out there that won't put you in a daze but still make things better so you can deal with your problems.
 
Raz, it sounds like you are making excuses for not having a job / going to school. No one here can make you do that, it's up to you if you wanna better yourself. You've been doing nothing for how many years now? trying something different won't hurt you. If you don't want to try nobody can force you to.

I was always lucky to have a good job. But going back to school was one of the best things that happened to me. I would recommend you stop making bullshit excuses and just go out and do it.

Wait... what?

What are you talking about excuses? I haven't been making excuses in this thread. I already know I have no excuse for being the way I am.

What the **** man.

You said the last 2 jobs you had to drop because of "physical" reasons. Why would you take 2 jobs you weren't physically prepared for?

If you aren't making excuses then wtf are you doing? Why don't you go get a job and go to school? Obviously you are currently depressed, and the only reason you are that way is because you refuse to change. You are making it sound like you are helpless which doesn't seem to be the case, it simply seems like you are refusing to help yourself.

I had to quit those two because I was suffering from severe plantar fasciitis and heel spurs as a result that grew progressively worse. It got to the point that the pain lasted throughout the weekend and was immediately as terrible as it was at the beginning of the twelve hour shift as it was at the end of the shift the previous day.

If I had to compare it to something else, I would say having the soles of my feet wailed on by a couple mobsters with a baseball bat would be an enjoyable massage in comparison. Or at least it would feel the same.

Maybe I could have kept working through those heel spurs, just sucking it up and pushing through day in day out to earn 9 dollars an hour while being unable to enjoy my days off due to the pain that just radiated even when I was off my feet, and ignoring the fact that it was getting worse and worse.

If you could do that, you are a better man than I. There's my "excuse" for why I quit those two jobs.
 
So you are telling me there is absolutely nothing you can do to find a job? Lots of jobs in this world you can sit for if that's really your problem. What kind of job were you doing that gave you this pain?

Do you have health insurance? The condition you described seems to be related to weight problems. Do you have those? From someone that has lost over 60 pounds in under a year I can tell you that it's not all that difficult. I had similar pain problems at the bottom of my foot that you described. I worked during this time even though my work required me to be on my feet for a good part of the day. Once I lost the weight the pain was gone.

And I've been TRYING to find those types of jobs lately. Something in the data entry field.

Are job openings so common where you live that people can't help but walk outside and be offered a job? We're in a recession... people are getting fired, people with qualifications are having difficulty finding jobs. People with few qualifications like me are of course finding it difficult.

I'm TRYING to get a job where I'm not working on my feet all day long which I clearly cannot handle right now. So **** off.
 
Wake up with empty feeling ... it happend to me today. Kinda sucks.

Dont' get so hostile. If you want me to shut up just let me know, it's not my life, I'll keep quiet. I'm just trying to help even if it sounds like I'm being a total dick. I edited my post later, do you have weight issues? The pain problems you are describing are usually associated with that.
 
Also, to answer your jobs point. Here in albuquerque there are tons of jobs in the call center field where you sit in front of a computer screen all day and take calls. You don't have anything like that in your area. There are other jobs in manufacturing, support, office assitant, etc that let you sit all day. I wouldn't limit yourself to data processing.

Also, if full time on your feet hurts that much why not part time?
