I just feel so dead and empty, like nothing matters because we're all going to die anyway. I'm in my 12th year so i tell myself that i need my marks up for uni, but then another voice just says 'why, whats the point?' like sometimes i feel insanely stressed with everything, like its the biggest in the world, and then the next second I'll feel empty, like there's no point in even living. I feel like I'm going nowhere in life, and every day i live just makes my life worse. help?
Update:also im able to go hang out with friends and to smile and make myself think im having a good time, but through the entire time i laugh and smile with my friends, i could just as easily sit there with a straight face and not bat an eye at anything they say. like i dont care enough to actually feel anything

Sounds familiar to me. Do you have loving and understanding parents and siblings? If your family's dysfunctional or your parents divorces or indifferent people, your feelings of emptiness and hopelessness is caused by them. If you have a good family, think hard what caused you to lose hope in life - a broken relationship, loss of a loved one even a pet, financial difficulties, loneliness??
Everyone goes through this at some point in their lives, so be comforted. We then focus on other things in life, things we like and enjoy. Even if there is nothing much we like at that point in time, we concentrate on what we are doing, even when cooking, reading, studying or praying to God to keep our minds engaged. Prayers fill up our mind and give us hope, so does visiting the places of worship so do turn to God for guidance and solace. Life is just an experience, a journey spiritually and physically we make ourselves and a short space in time to do what we enjoy or overcome challenges. Your challenge now is to focus on your studies to get your grades up in order to have a good future and career. Only be with friends you enjoy, not to pull you out of your depression. Taking sports and volunteer/charity work may help you interact with new people and work up some energy and meaning in life.
i do the same thing, putting up a wall, everyone thinks you fine and inside you just want to die.what i have to do is think what is important to me, how i do not want to hurt anyone, think of what is fun and pull myself by the coller and make my self do things and i find after i do i feel better. got ot find out what has been going on in your life, i rencently found some of my promblem could be not saying good by to my dad when he died, i was 4 and i am 55 now and so. among other things then relize it was not your fault and then think do i enjoy being unhappy and what can i do to change it. going to many group at mentle health and i go to a place called club cadillac and they really help know there are other like me. there are club house all over the world maybe ask some question and find out where there is club house by you or a drop in center. all these things will help get you though thenyou find your self enjoyinglife more. no there still bad days but more good one. hope you can find what makes you happy! i have delt with same for many many years from 4 till now and i am a grandma of 10 so i figured i am need and they don't want me depressed and tho it dose happen it is work inprogress. you can get better but it is alot of work and i bet you can do it! it si call recovery we may not ever recover but continue to work on recovery and in time you will look back and see where you amy be much better.
Everything matters. What's important is that you find what you enjoy on this earth for the little time we live. It doesn't matter how long you live, it's what you do in your life that counts. Letting stress get to you is normal. Go out and have fun with what you love. Fill yourself up with something. Nobody is incapable of feeling. You have to find what's truly important to you, and protect that. No one can make you happy except yourself. Be strong.
Prayer and trust in Jesus Christ. Lay this burden on Him and you will find freedom and peace. I have felt the very same way and I have not found help through any other way, Jesus is the only way, you will no feel the emptiness. Join a local join and the youth group, you can make new friends and be around people willing to lift you on prayer and support you in your walk with Christ.
your depressed. it is like this. you put on a face to make people happy. i would think about getting help if its available. don't you want something to make you feel better? ive been on a smal dose of meds for depression and it helped alot. it could help you too. and u can get off of it when u get older. sometimes we need help getting through tough times. i know everyone wants to push prescriptions but the do help sometimes.
You get used to it.
