Just feeling so empty - don't want to do anything anymore

Hi everyone - I'm just looking for some advice here.

I just feel so numb and empty all the time. It's not even sadness, just this crushing nothingness. It feels like there's nothing left inside but a heavy fatigue that's settled into my bones.

I don't find happiness in the things that used to make me happy - not even music (my favourite thing) makes me feel the same way it used to. I just feel empty.

Next year is my final year of school and all my friends are excited to graduate but I'm dreading it because it means having to go to university and get a job and work just to make enough money to survive. It feels so hopeless and overwhelming. I feel sick thinking about it.

I don't even feel like eating. Eating feels like a chore to me - nothing tastes good or sounds appealing. I eat because I have to.

Sorry for this rant - I just wanted to get it off my chest and ask if anyone had any advice. Thanks 🙂

Hey . It's really good that your seeking help but I would suggest you talk to a professional about this contact the beyond blue number or email a councilor? You menchined your still at school. Maybe try your school counselor they can be very helpful. I had an appointment with both councilor and career advisor in my last year of school as it was very overwhelming and they were very helpful.

last years of school can be demanding and draining at times but try not stress too much about it . Things will fall into place and become more clear over time.


Take care .
