I don't know what's wrong with me, you would think I have nothing to be upset about, I have a great girlfriend, a wonderful home, and good friends, and my grades arent that bad either. Despite all of this, I can't escape this constant sinking feeling, nothing I love fulfills me anymore, all food tastes bland and I just want to be alone all hours of the day, I'm always either over eating or under eating and I feel as if the only thing that matters to me anymore is my mattress. It also feels like im slowly loosing the ability to empathise with others, whenever friends come to me with their problems i just sort of nod, and whenever I see someone happy I can't stand it. I know I have no right to be sad or whatever because I have it so much better than so many others, and I tell myself that, but it dosent always work, I tell myself it's just hormones or part of the human experience but as of late I'm starting to doubt myself. I just don't know what to do, I want the old me back.

If I could use only one sentence to point you toward lasting happiness it would be this: True happiness can only be found in God, for only He can meet the deepest yearnings of our hearts. Let me explain.
You see, we aren't on this earth by accident. God created us, and He put us here for a reason: to know Him and to enjoy His presence in our lives, both now and throughout eternity. God even created us with an empty place in our hearts—an empty place that He alone can fill. The Bible says, "He has also set eternity in the hearts of men" (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Whenever we try to fill that empty place with anything or anyone other than God, we are bound to fail. No matter how many things we have or how successful we are, that empty place is still there. But when we come to Christ, we discover that God loves us, and He makes us part of His family. More than that, He comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit. Think of it: God wants you to be part of His family forever—beginning now.
By faith turn to God and tell Him that you know you need Him. Then open your heart and life to Christ and ask Him to fill the empty places in your life. Jesus promised, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives" (John 14:27). Turn to Christ today and discover the joy and peace He alone can give.
