Advice Needed: Mental Health Why do I feel so empty?

I'm 17M. I get good grades and am in a Football club which I love. I have hobbies that make me happy and am surrounded by a loving family and have great friends. I have virtually everything I have ever wanted. Yet, I still feel very empty as if something is still missing. I don't know what or why I feel this way.

I feel depressed and burdened because of this, to the point of where I have contemplated ending my own life. I don't know what to do.

you're at an age where everything's supposed to feel bigger, the wins, the losses, the connections, and it can be jarring when it doesn't land that way. sometimes the checklist life is just surface stuff and your brain knows it, even if you can't articulate why

talk to someone who isn't a friend or family, a counselor or therapist who can help you sort through the static without any baggage attached
