Emptiness
Emptiness as a human condition is described as a feeling of numbness, inability to feel anything emotionally, or not having any purpose. It can be better described as a situation where a certain lack or lacks in one's life overtake the emotional and mental focus in an obsessive, sometimes subconscious manner. Feelings of emptiness often accompany chronic discontent, dysthymia,  depressionlonelinessdespair, or other mental/emotional disorders such as borderline personality disorder. It may seek expression through different types of self-harming behaviors, and in more extreme cases, suicide.

empty sella syndrome
****** HELP  ******
An empty sella is sometimes reported on pituitary imaging.This is sometimes due to a defect in the diaphragma and extention of the subarachnoid space(cisternal herniation) or may follow spontaneous infarction of a tumour. All or most of the sella turcica is devoid of appearent pituitary tissue, but, despite this, pituitary function is usually normal, the pituitary being eccentrically placed and flattened against the floor or roof of the fossa.
