1. Acknowledge your problem. Don't deny what happen to you. Accept what happen and get over it.
2. Journal. Express your feeling by writing them down.
3. Examine your relationships. Quality over quantity.
4. Avoid social media.
5. Close your wallet. (don't buy things because they won't make you happy)
6. Alone time - allow you to have some alone time.

No. 3 brought tears to my eyes. The conversations I've had with my therapist was so much better than what I've had with my so called friends. They had value, and allowed me to filter and understand my emotions better.

The step in this video I didn’t give much thought to doing and began immediately was journaling. It’s been a day and it genuinely helps

I know why I fell emptiness. When I grown 18 yrs in August, I just start to listen music like sadness (sasuke and itachi tribute etc.) too early and I Felt emptiness. Until 28 September, It start again by watching some 2000’s trance and Nightcore and watch many times photos ( I like to see how 2000’s life was, espically in my country, like I want to be in 2000’s late). Now I deal with this. I don’t think It will be end😢😢😢

Hey, Dad, look at me
Think back, and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time
Doing things I want to do?
But it hurts when you disapproved all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for
You can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me
'Cause we lost it all
Nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care any more
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's all right
'Cause we lost it all
And nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
And nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you
But you don't understand
'Cause we lost it all
Nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
'Cause we lost it all
Nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

I try to live through fictional characters (books, movies, shows). I cry, laugh, get angry, happy, along with the characters, because I know those things are missing in my life. In my real life I don't get to feel anything. There is nothing. I don't get to laugh till my stomach hurts, I don't get to blush or feel butterflies in my belly, or get excited, or smile. I don't get to experience any positive emotions in my real life. In real life either I am just bored or down and empty, as I watch my life as it goes by.

Writing down your thoughts helps you to sort and organize them. A later read of a number of journals will likely show a pattern in your thinking, and thought patterns drive behavioral and life patterns.

Personally I only started to truly be happy long term after I started trusting in Jesus.
I tried changing jobs, friends and even tried meditative Motivation and encouragement but nothing. Jesus has been the only thing that makes me feel whole and loved.

So... should i read a book? I don't wanna... I don't wanna do anything. I did have somebody to go to but they're gone. Now what? I don't know what to do. I'm just sitting here. Lonely. Bored. Im not mad. I'm sad kinda. I can't cry. Just feel.. empty.
