Meaning:

    “血槽” means “blood groove,” “已” means “already,” and “空” means “empty.” This four-character term is an online usage that originally refers to a state of characters in games who have lost all their blood and are about to die. Now it is often used to mean suffering immensely, internally devastated and on the verge of collapse.
