A member asked:

How can i not feel empty and sad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be helpful: Sadness often comes from feeling alone, unconnected, and unproductive. Turn your attention away from your sadness and on to other. Try to help them, even in some minor way, to relieve their difficulties. You will feel much better.
