A lot of it resonates with me, but in my case all the emptiness gets flooded with OCD and stuff related to sleep deprivation/nightmares and eating disorders.

I don't experience the same sort of "it's okay if I die" feeling that I get with say a really bad migraine or times of cluster headaches

In my black hole place there's too much useless OCD crap to be done that wouldn't be done if I was dead and that would be intolerable.

It's possible that could be a problem some day if I change meds, or whatever meds I'm taking fade, leaving me depressed without the OCD as a backstop.
