Sounds Like A Crazy Question, But

when you are down and kind of depressed, do you feel Empty or do you feel Full? I, personally, think it is probably different for each of us. Your thoughts...

When I am down I feel empty, but I also feel out of control...like being in a free fall, without direction...I have to stop myself, and think of all I have to be grateful for, then I am able to gain my balance back....but at least if you are crying it means you have not lost all feeling and fallen into hopelessness...

I never really thought of this in that way, but after giving it some serious thought, I guess I feel full. Interesting question.

When I am depressed, I feel empty........that feeds the depression because I feel like I have no "reserves" to help me beat the depression. That is why, when I start feeling down, I go "fill up" on friends and fun activities! I don't get depressed much anymore...imagine that! Cali

Like Marti, I feel full. Like I can't take any more. It is definitely not a feeling of empty.

I feel empty and totally out of sync.

I don't feel either. When I feel depressed, I feel exhausted. Like I'm just out of reserves and there's nothing left to fight with. I guess if anything that would be empty rather than full.

This is a great question Louise! I feel empty and I feel like I'm never going to be happy again. That usually lasts for a couple of days then I start feeling good again.

I know I feel empty and I don't feel on solid ground.

i feel full, but the fullness of something swollen that numbs sensitivity. At it's worst, the color seems to drain from everything: i can still identify the 'blue folder', or 'yellow house' if i need to...but there is a greyness to to the world, all positive emotional response is washed out of me.
When i've been at rock bottom (long time since my last visit there as i see the road signs and can usually manage to turn around) beautiful things added to my pain as i know intellectually they are beautiful and normally would bring me joy but emotionally i'm deaf and blind to it.

Very interesting question.

Like Fey said "beauty would bring me pain" I definitely feel empty.
