Is it normal to feel "empty" inside?

[Stick Man]

I mean, there's just this feeling in my chest like a whole chunk of me is missing. I also feel really depressed for some reason. I've been listening to dumb mashups and other happy/funny songs for the past hour but for some reason I don't feel anything. At most, I feel worse in a way.

Why do I feel like this?

You probably feel depressed about something. You should probably talk to us about something that happened recently which makes you feel unnerved or sad.

But nothing has happened recently to make me feel bad at all. If anything things couldn't be better. My family is fine and well, I'm going to be seeing my dad sometime this winter, I've graduated High School and I'm ready to take on the world. Things couldn't be better.

It's quite recent. Probably started about 3 weeks ago.

it will probably pass
everybody is depressed from time to time
and some people are depressed all the time and it's really really bad sometimes

[Foxscotch]

depression is not just being sad about things, it usually happens for no (discernible) reason
if you have a therapist or anything like that you should talk to them about it. if not, maybe ask your regular doctor about it and whether or not they think you should get a therapist

I don't think so, when someone feels empty, it usually means that they lack ambition to do most things and don't find most things in life interesting. I don't think that's depression.

they can be related
depression can cause you to lose any satisfaction from anything you do and drains you of motivation
