We all feel a little lost every now and then, but experiencing a chronic sense of emptiness could be indicative of serious mental health concerns.

It can feel like being numb or being unable to enjoy doing the things you love the most. Sometimes it can weigh on you and make you feel like you’re carrying several pounds worth of rocks in different areas of your body.

You don’t feel like getting out of bed and all you want to do is sleep, but the feeling of perpetual exhaustion never seems to go away. Sometimes, this can be because you’re carrying too much physical discomfort, guilt, or self-loathing within you.

These are negative signals that your subconscious gets continuously, and if you don’t take active steps to train your subconscious, you can end up feeling anxious more frequently.

Feeling empty in relationships

Here’s a small list of behaviors that indicate a sense of emptiness:

• Sometimes the cause of these feelings can be an unfulfilling relationship that you might not be prepared to acknowledge. A little introspection will help you identify the source of your feelings.
• A few common causes for feeling empty include developing co-dependent tendencies in a relationship, especially when it comes to fulfilling your emotional needs.
• You rely solely on your partner to help you process and deal with emotions.
• You may also be in a relationship with someone who is detached and not able to fulfill your needs.
• You could also find yourself bored in a relationship.
• You struggle with communicating with your partner or vice versa.
• You lack a physical connection with your partner.
• You or your partner struggle with unaddressed mental health issues.

What can you do?

It’s very important for you to be honest with yourself. What are your expectations from the relationship and are they being met? Do you feel like you struggle with opening up to your partner?

It’s very important for you to gently explore all your feelings, warmly embracing any truths that may pop up that you may not have been expecting. Spend some time alone and keep the following tips in mind.

• Remind yourself to not be judgmental of yourself, or compare yourself to others.
• Be very mindful of the voices and what they’re telling you. Are they excessively negative or perhaps, conflicted?
• Take care of your physical health as well and address any needs that are not being met.
• Avoid assigning blame or feeling guilt for not being in control.
