you know how sometimes when you're hungry and you dont want to eat ANYTHING that you have at the house (or could order-out or w/e)?

that's how my heart feels... not about food... but about love.

Im so stymied... i cant work or relax.

I know you mean "heart" figuratively but does your heart actually feel like its racing or beating strange?

the hungry heart

Got a wife and kids in baltimore jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that dont know where its flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

Everybodys got a hungry heart
Everybodys got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybodys got a hungry heart

I met her in a kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in kingstown again

Everybodys got a hungry heart...

Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Dont make no difference what nobody says
Aint nobody like to be alone

Bruce Springsteen.


Yeah, I know how you feel. . .

Would I be calling it right that its probably an emotional sense that the opportunities for anything you'd really want either don't exist in the scope of your life and surroundings or never will?

I ask just because that's the sort of flat-depression I quite often find myself fighting. Its not as emotional or gritty as much as its a lot of existential listlessness, inability to relax with it, its like my minds telling me that there's no way in hell that I should let myself be ok with letting myself just stay where I'm at and sort of let it all dissolve but at the other time the other sides arguing "That's great but where the hell are you gonna go? There are no answers".

the other part is not wanting something to pass.....

realizing that sentiments are not returned... they could be someday... but realizing right now that im not taken seriously.. but taken for granted.

powerless

lonely

miserable

empty

going forward to no end

and going to bed.

I feel like this very often, and I don’t know anyone else, in my every day life, who does. I feel like I can’t survive a week without someone, but I have to survive years.

It is not about feeling love sick, wanting someone to talk to, low self esteem, or even sex, it is about finding a way to get rid of this void. Needing someone is to well ingrain in some of use. Fighting it by thinking is like trying to think away a toothache.

Mother nature surely does not care about our happiness, so happiness will never be the end goal of nature. I am not going to go into the evolutionary advantage of loneliness, as I am too depressed.

Damn that sucks, E, feeling empty or heavy in the heart is always bad. It's partly, I'd imagine, because one phase of your life, your first grad. school stint, is over and you are moving somewhere (new and) different and starting another phase of your life, with someone who may or may not be into you. Hopefully when you're closer to being settled into your new phase, things will iron out. But it sucks, it's not loneliness per se, but it's kinda similar that's for sure.

Only after you eat. You need to fill this void, Sedaka.

I sometimes stare into my food cupboard, while not hungry. Thinking about food.

Anyways...

I wonder why you feel powerless, I see increasing ones personal power as within one's personal power.
