If it were easy, I really would be doing it. I am undergoing therapy, socializing more than I have ever been. Still, I just can’t get rid of this void inside me.
Well, speaking as someone who has processed their own ‘void’ - I came to the conclusion that not referring to it as some spectral thing really helped.
It’s not a void, my Dad was a drunk and I needed him to be my Dad. He wasn’t, and I have to fill in the gaps.
When I started addressing these things as they were, rather than as the unknowable void within my dark soul, they stopped being unknowable voids. Arguably my soul stopped being so dark, as well. Food for thought, YMMV.
Living should only be for people with a will to live. I really don’t.

Not sure if telling them to kys or being supportive
Judging from the amount of down votes, I’m guessing people are thinking KYS

Thank you so much. I will try that.
Things take time, hang in there!
Well I never suggested it was easy. Everything takes effort, no matter who you are. The important thing is just to do something and not nothing.
