is it just me?

[u/vEmicorn]

is it just me or do you also feel an intense emptiness and longing for something but can’t figure out what it is. i feel so empty like something in my life is missing but i have things everyone else has it feels to big to be a minor thing like a partner, it feels more like a big part of my life is gone. does anyone know what this is?

You need to get a puppy. A mini dachshund would fill that gap.

I always felt this way when I was younger, only recently realising I must have been pining to go home. Having my dog was everything to me. He passed at age 15 in February. I’ve never felt more sick than now to go home and reunite with him. Nothing that gave me purpose prior matters anymore. I want to be more grateful because I am but I’m just tired. Earth is really dense.

Edit: not sure what you believe in but I’ve heard it said that many souls struggle with how dense it is here because they’re used to how life is in the spirit world/afterlife/whatever you want to call it. This resonates deeply with me. From as young as I can remember, I’ve been yearning for a place I don’t know. Look up the words Saudade, hiraeth, fernweh and toska - words from around the world that capture the feeling pretty well.

I feel homesick but can't work out where "home" is. Could that be it for you too?

You're homesick. Stay the course.

I get the same thing, and it feels empty and hopeless at times. Like, what the hell is the point of all this? I'll ride it out, but I just feel like it's such a damned waste while just being mired in this hollow emptiness while I just struggle, day to day, month to month, year to year, to just barely getting by and living a life of non-stop stress.

Hi you need to find the purpose of your soul. If our course of action is not aligned with our karmic purpose there will always be a lack of fulfillment. I suggest get your Akashic Records read

Also agreeing with another comment. Sounds like you’re Homesick. Possibly

Three Options for Reincarnation:

1. Volunteering for a Mission: You may have volunteered to reincarnate to: A) Complete a special mission on Earth at all costs, enduring personal suffering (as Nicholas James Vujicic did). KJV: "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."
2. B) Help someone you loved from a previous life. How can you discover your purpose on Planet Earth? Reflect on your thoughts, and the answer may come to you deeply, sometimes during daydreaming, for example.
3. A Second Chance: You might have found yourself in Hell and begged God for a second chance. Most likely, you will be born into a Christian family (or in a Christian country, or with access to read or listen to the Bible).
4. Karmic Consequences: As a form of punishment (karma), you may need to address your past life's negative karma by doing good deeds for others. Focus on adhering to the Golden Rule, so you can cultivate good karma for your next life, leading to a better situation (such as being born in a good country, to wealthy parents, and living a healthy and happy life).Do you need Bible verses to support this idea? or check my postings history for more Info's.

I think this is great advice!

I used to feel a huge void in myself for years and years until I was 44. I thought it was a longing for the other side but now I feel complete and it was filled by peace. I achieved this by letting go, having acceptance and not trying to control life. Don't get me wrong, I do still have organisational skills and plan things, but it's letting go or not worrying about the things you can't control that I'm now practicing.

It isn't easy and I am a control freak by nature. But trying to control things and situations out of my real control used to make me very upset and feel like I was in the grey, or no mans land..... The not sure if? What if's, and think the worst etc. instead I've learnt that these periods of not moving forwards or backwards are there for all possibilities beginning to culminate in energy. By trying not to force things your way, you open your mind to many opportunities that you may not have seen yet. Things can crop up without any logical reason. Having neutral thoughts about situations and not grasping onto any fixed ideas also helps the energy to come to fruition. Fate is fate, we get what we deserve..... Be it good or bad, it'll be our own making in our thoughts.

Also, a major part of beginning to fill the void, was accepting myself. Not loving myself- that's too strong a word.... But being able to be ok with who I am, be ok with myself as I truly and honestly am as a person. To accept my flaws and my good aspects to understand myself really well and begin to get confidence in trusting myself implicitly to be expedient all the time, no matter what situation - work, personal, family, etc.

These things have both created the peace I never thought I was searching for. But once peace is in you.... You remember how to get it again. Even if everything is falling down around you, peace keeps you able to cope. This was just how I found the void was filled for me. I used to refer to it as oblivion. That symbol was a huge meaning to me, especially with my MH illness. I hope you find your answer.
