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.
