Feeling empty. Can't stop crying.
Where do I begin. I have been single since I was 21 (I am now 29). There has been no prospects and not for the lack of trying. My life feels empty.
It started valentines day. Usually I am sad. This year.. there was no feelings. Nothing. Empty. Dark.
Today I realized how I have lost hope.. in love, in ever having a family. My life feels empty and I feel like I don't have anything to look forward too.
My therapist says she doesn't think that my story is over, and that I will find someone, she has hope for me. I just don't know how to see that hope for myself. I have been crying for 8 hours on and off. I don't want to end life..and never would but I don't know how to live like this when all is hopeless.
No love life.. and often home alone. Friends are all busy living their lives or enjoying their family. I've talked to friends before.. this will get better. You will find someone. It just takes time they say.
It's been years of waiting. I also don't want to worry my parents by talking to them. I feel nothing can be don't to make this better. I don't know how to be okay. And that scares me. What if I'm never okay again.
Any advice welcome <3

The therapist means well but what you may need is a psychiatrist. You're not crazy but she's missing the fact that you have been having really dark, empty, depressed thoughts for a long time with a little bit of brightness as well. That's a mental health issue and could be a variety of things including depression or bipolar disorder as examples. That's something that a therapist doesn't have the training to see and or treat with medication.
If you feel you have lost hope in damn near everything and that your life is over and are crying non-stop for hours ditch the therapist. See your family doctor pronto (which may be harder to do with Covid-19) or if you feel you can't function visit an emergency room and get asessed by on call doctors. That will put you in the system and get you helped.
If you have felt this way for years and your mental health has never been addressed or something suspected by a therapist or doctor it's time to investigate this further and consult these people. You have nothing to lose and may find your world gets a hell of a lot brighter quickly.
You have a story to tell even if you don't know the words to yours yet or your place. It will become known eventually. You matter to this world, your family and others. You're important and are worthy and capable of love and experiencing it. You will be okay provided you seek help. Things could radically change in your life for the better.

First off you aren’t alone because i feel the same way you do not so much with the aspect of love but with life feeling empty not having much to look forward to Valentine’s Day is hard on everyone who is single but you’ve got to realize even though you don’t have anyone to spend Valentine’s Day with that doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself do something nice for yourself on that day as far as your life feeling empty thing’s don’t happen over night they take time Rome wasn’t built in a day for example it take’s people many tries to find job’s it take’s them many tries to pass their driver’s test get their license life isn’t a competition there isn’t a law that say’s you have to find love succeed have children at a certain age everyone is different everyone goes at their own pace some right away other’s it take’s awhile don’t be so hard on yourself i agree with your therapist your story isn’t over you’ve got your whole life ahead of you you will find someone you were meant to live the life you were given thing’s will get better they can’t stay bad horrible forever thing’s can’t stay hopeless everyone has good day’s bad day’s i would distract yourself keep yourself busy your mind busy so your thought’s don’t drift to the empty feeling!
