Numb and pain

I think I'm writing too much lately, but I don't know what else I can do... Emptyness, numbness and pain are drowning me, I'm ok one time and then, suddenly I start feeling hopeless, worthless, and I stop seeing the point of keep walking this road, is not that I'm tired is just I'm feeling new things and I don't have any clue about how to deal with it. I don't know what to do, I don't know how to express myself, everyday seems like a hole where I keep falling in without seeing the end nor the beginning

There is no such thing as writing too much

Writing things down can be a very useful processing tool. I always benefit from seeing my thoughts on paper.

Is there one thing in your life that you are truly passionate about and that you enjoy even when you are feeling empty? Mine is anime/manga, no matter how depressed, anxious, or empty I feel I always enjoy watching/reading. Sometimes it is literally the only thing that keeps me going. I'll feel tired of struggling with life but then I'll remember I have a good show to finish and I'm like "Ok I can keep going".

Anime has actually helped me with my emotions too. I'm sad quite a bit of the time and I tend to hold it all in, but then I'll watch a really sad show and ball my eyes out and feel so much better. I guess I'm suggesting finding some sort of creative medium (books, movies, shows, art, music, poetry) that is full of emotions and that will let you express your emotions more. I find if I have a reason to be sad, angry, happy, etc. because of something I'm reading or watching, then I feel like I can express my emotions easier and I understand them better since I know why I'm crying (a character I liked died) or why I'm laughing (a character is being absolutely ridiculous).

I have no idea if any of this makes sense or if it's helpful, but I hope you find a way to not feel so empty.

I watch and read anlme/manga sometimes too but I guess the only thing I always enjoy doing is music (listening and playing instruments) but sometimes I don't feel like doing them either and right now I'm at the university so I don't have time to play instruments
