I feel so empty inside with a knot in my throat, I am trying to keep up with it all,all being life and life pressures, but I am getting so tired of it.
I'm not expecting responses, I'm just airing how I feel as noone, to someone.

I don't even know you, and I'm not really known on these boards, but I had am overwhelming urge to tell you how sorry I am you feel that way. I can indentify with that empty feeling, how it sort of makes you question "Why am I still doing this? Why is everything so hard?". I call it my Whirlpool feeling: like all your insides are being sucked down and out of yourself.
I don't know what to say (I feel like crap myself) except that even in the few sentences you posted, I can hear how much your hurting. I guess I just keep on trying until tomorrow because, maybe it might be the day that things get a bit better, or I feel content for even a moment. Usually it's not, but I have to believe it could be, or I wouldn't be able to have the heart or energy to keep going.
Does it help posting on here? I know T's are very important, but sometimes I think it helps to hear from others going through the same things. I worry how my T's can understand, or help me at all, when they don't know first-hand what any of this feels like. I'm not saying T's aren't invaluable, just that the perspective of fellow patients/clients has it's own way of helping me feel less uniquely alone.
Take care, Elaine

Thank you, Elaine
It does help to get it out there, even if I don't know who I'm telling.

I am familar with that feeling unfortunatley. It feels like you want to scream, but yet it gets stuck in your throat and it won't come out. Is it like that?
I know I have a lot of anger that needs to come out and the bad thing is my T is getting the brunt end of that instead of the person who deserves the anger.
Do you want to talk about the feelings? It might help get some of it out. Welcome to Babble by the way if you are new. :-)

yes, somewhat, its that along with the horible drained feeling inside.
