See a psychologist: You should get evaluated. Schedule an appointment with a psychologist for an evaluation. Therapy and/or medication will help if in fact you are depressed or have chronic feelings of emptiness. Make sure you talk about your symptoms and not a diagnostic label. You may need to see a psychiatrist as well. Look for a clinic with a multi-disciplinary staff.

Thinking vs planning: Neither is fine - but planning is much more of an emergency. Thinking 'only' is still a serious issue - especially everyday. Of course you should find help. You knew that. If you believe you have enough strength to keep you going until you find a therapist you trust - start your search. You can take a session to decide if you trust them enough to speak about your thoughts w/o starting a panic.Best
