First, I think that you need to get in contact with a counselor, therapist, or a psychologist right away because this could very well be a severe case of depression and/or impending suicide.
If you feel like your life is empty than why don’t you try to give it meaning. Why don’t you try to go out and volunteer and do a lot of community service. It’s a great way to keep busy and to stop thinking about your inner turmoil and you can feel better about yourself knowing that you are helping the less fortunate. Or you could try to find a hobby, such as reading inspirational poetry or listening to uplifting and inspirational music or watching funny movies. Just try to find something that you know will distract you.
Also, maybe instead of continuously trying to forget the past, you need to confront it and make peace with your past so that you can get closure. Sometimes by trying so hard to forget all the things that have previously hurt us causes us more harm than good. You need to make some kind of acceptance with your past so that can finally move on, not necessarily forget the past, but you will be able to move forward without it constantly haunting you.
Also, I think that by writing a story will definitely help you because it will be a great way for you to escape your problems and it’ll take your mind off them as well.
You really shouldn’t care about what other people will think of your story. Take it from a fellow writer, constructive criticism is great and all, but at the end of the day if I’m happy with my writing then nothing anyone else may say about it doesn’t matter to me and it shouldn’t matter to you as well.
Tell you what, If you need someone that will honestly yet respectfully and gently tell you if your writing is good or not or it has potential than you could just tell me what you want to write about, your characters, the plot, etc just anything you what and I guarantee I will never judge you or your work. I may tell you what you might want to improve on, but I will never be disrespectful to you or your writing. Also, this might help you strengthen yourself and learn to write what you love despite what people might say about it. As a writer and as an artist, we have to love our work and realize that not everyone will like it, but as long as we love and are happy with it then it really doesn’t matter. Besides, not everyone likes the same things, but the amount of people who do like it or will like it might surprise you so just hang in there and do what you love.
Also, take it from me, everyone feels lonely every once in awhile despite having other people around them. It’s normal, it’s human nature. The only thing is that we can’t let the loneliness control us and get in the way of the things we like to do. If you have a severe case of loneliness then why don’t you try meeting new people or join a support group because, trust me, there are plenty of people who feel the way you feel and are going through, or had gone through, what you are gong through now.
Also, why don’t you listen to music that focus on people who feel lonely. For instance, Michael Jackson’s You are not alone or even Christina Aguilera’s Lift Me Up or Pink’s Lonely Girl. Just to name a few.
I hope that helps. Also, if you need someone to talk to or to be your sounding board than you can contact me it’s not problem honestly.
