 You sound like you may have mild depression. One of the symptoms is loss of interest in activities you were once engaged in, as well as a low, empty feeling. That you've closed off from others is also a sign, I'd say. You don't need some drastic event in your life to develop an emotional imbalance. Good news is it can be 'rebalanced' out. Consider seeing your doctor to get an assessment if he or she thinks this is what might be what's going on.

You don't get that buzz out of life anyone, lose your appetite, or overeat because you need to fill your life in somehow, but you don't ENJOY food. You become lethargic, withdrawn and even having a conversation with someone can seem like a choreAre you an anxious person? Depressed people usually are... It's not going to be easy trying to help yourself, may seem impossible, but the key is to take small steps in pursuing something, ANYTHING...What did you USED to that you liked? Get aquatinted with an author you haven't read in a while maybe. Something that helped me a lot was cycling... I started cycling to work, felt better, more productive and independent. Do you have a job? Try volunteering in a charity shop if not maybe... It's quite easygoing, and you'll meet some lovely, welcoming people, that will be a step towards getting out there. Go to the doctors and see what he says. You need to boost the endorphins. Many of us know what you're going through and things will change. But you will have to put effort in. Even if it means dragging up those feelings you haven't discussed about your break- up, because you might feel numb, but socialising activates diverse areas of your brain, and TALKING (although you may feel like you're being needy or whatever, you're not) does help in ways it's hard to describe. Good luck anyway and take care! :) x
