How to control feeling empty and emotionally drained?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am feeling empty and emotionally drained. I do not feel like living anymore. I am tired of everyone blaming me every now and then for everything for no big reason. Sometimes I do not understand my fault. I feel suicidal many times.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Such feelings at this stage of life when we enter our teens is quite common and there are multiple reasons for it, few being changes in our body especially hormonal changes associated with puberty. You are not alone with such feelings of loneliness and suicidal tendencies. But the good thing is most of it is illusional and not true. Contrary to what we believe at this point in life, our parents love us a lot and are very much concerned about us. Talking to them and to teachers, guides, mentors will help you in understanding and overcoming the differences. A visit to a school counselor or a psychologist will definitely be of help. This life is very precious and there are a lot of people who love us. We do not realize how blessed we are. Best wishes for your future. Thank you and take care.
