what to do when u feel empty inside?

hi there. anyway, how to write something if nothing is in your mind? its empty. and how to think of nothing? bizzare isn't it? till now, i dont know how to react when i feel empty inside. i'll just cry and think of 'what if' questions.

When I feel empty inside I like to fill that void inside with painkillers. Nothing chases the blues away like chocolate ice cream and a bottle of Vicodin. Here is a little trick that I used to get over a weeklong depression after I saw a chipmunk get run over in the raod. I took out a pen and a small sheet of paper. I closed the curtains, and locked the door... and took the phone off the hook so I could be alone with my thoughts. Then I wrote down all the things that are wrong with my life and the world in general. After a while I realized that the list was slowly becoming a poem. A peopm so dark... so terrible... that it drove me into my depression even further. Then I took the pen and jabed it several times into the back of my hand... this helped me realize that pain was real...... oh so real..... I then got a little light headed and the next thing I know I passed out for a little while. When I woke up I felt fresh as a daisy and ready to take on the world once more. Hope this helps!!
