I feel empty on a daily basis, I spend a lot of time just existing. Then eventually I get frustrated with feeling empty and get depressed or pissed off. It's stupid and annoying and yeah emptiness is the worst feeling to me. I wish I could tell you how to make the feeling or really lack there of stop.

All. The. Time.

In varying degrees though. Most of the time things just feel very far away, my senses are dulled and the way I perceive the world seems to be through a thick pane of glass. All reactions are delayed or don't present themselves at all, my emotions are stunted, the emptiness is all pervasive.

Dissociation, depersonalization.

It's pretty much torture because I can never guarantee when or even if I'll come out of the fog. The scariest part though is not knowing if I will come out the same on the other side.

I feel disassociated a lot. I sometimes empty, but not as much as I used to. If when I ruminate, I don't think about the fact that I am ruminating, it gets easier. Mindfulness.
One of the greatest blasphemies is the taking of one's freedom of thought, dictating matters of the heart and the theft of another's personal peace.

Everyday I live is an act of rebellion.

Me too. Depressed or angry which takes up 90% of me, I think. Then the other 10% empty nothingness.
