Feeling of aimlessness

Does anyone else feel intensely aimless/without a goal after completely flipping your life over to attain something, and once it's over you forget about everything else you enjoyed?

So recently I had my finals and I was never interested in studying but this time I was serious and in a matter of seconds I centered my entire life around studying, 12hours a day, felt empty and useless and a void in my chest when I wasn't studying.

Close to the exams, I suddenly just didn't care at all now. Like the thrill was over and I just discarded all my progress I don't know why, I threw away all my efforts and I didn't feel anything. After 2 months of studying I just disregarded it.

And now my exams are over and I still feel nothing, i had many hobbies and things I was interested in before this manic obsession over studying but now I can't even recall the multiple hobbies I collected to fill the void.

Is this a valid experience? Does anyone else feel the raging urge to flip ur life over and devote ur entire personality to one single thing for months and then disregard it like it never happened? And feel nothing about it?

Btw I'm new here! Sorry about the rambling
