WELL MY ADVICE IS TO TRY AND LOOK FORWARD TO GOOD THINGS (HAPPENINGS) TO TAKE UR MIND OFF THOSE EVENTS AND TRY TO DO SOME FUN STUFF TO HEIGHTEN UR SPIRIT. U'LL BE BACK TO UR OLD SELF BEFORE U KNO IT. JUST TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT THEM AS MUCH.\n\nHEY THANKS FOR THE ADVICE

Well I just kept boosting myself up.  I use to feel the same way.  Then I learned you only have one life and if you spend the whole time being sorry for yourself you miss out on tons of awesome experiences.

I think it is normal to feel this way from time to time. My best advice is to monitor your feelings. If you continue to feel sad and lonely for a long period of time, it probably is best to talk to someone then. Sometimes certain influences in life can cause you to feel like this even if at the time you don't think it isn't a problem ie. a crappy job or relationship woes. It is best to always be honest yourself and never to ignore negative emotions/feelings if they go on too long. Best wishes

Oh wow - that is so sad.  I am really sorry that you have gone through SOOOO much in this recent past.  I am sure it must feel like your world has just about crushed in around you.  :(  \n\nI can really see now why you wish you could just have it all be over with.  What you are feeling is completely normal.  I wish there was a quick fix for the way you were - but there really isn't.  :(   \n\nOne thing that you may or may not be into doing is this -  exercise... I know that you may not want to at this time - but it really is good for you - it elevates the endorphins which in turn helps to elevate your mood.  So while it won't make everything better - it can help you to cope with it a bit better than you might be right now.  \n\nI will keep you in my prayers tonight and pray for that "hole" in your heart to be healed and filled with the Love of God.  I had that "hole" at one point in my life... It is lonely and sad - it makes you feel like you just have no reason to exist... "what is the point of it all" I would ask my self all the time.  But I have survived that time.  Life has improved and I have seen the blessings of the Lord in my life. If I had died or never existed I would have never known what I know now -  I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason - both good and bad things.  We Learn from the bad in order to be able to help others to the other side... to be a shoulder to cry on - or to gain wisdom through it.  \n\nKeep truckin' along - you will get to a better place - it may take a long time - but you will get there.  Keep your eyes on the blue sky and try to look at positive things in life.  I know they may seem like few and far between, but they are there... take the moment to look at the beautiful pink or yellow blossom as it blooms into the new spring of this year.  Take the time to look at the white fluff clouds as they float around the blue sky and a lady bug lands on the leaf - or a butterfly flutters by.  Take joy in these small things... small improvements will help you.  \n\nWhen you have negative feelings try your hardest to push them out and possibly pray at that time if you have a relationship with God.  Ask for help and peace in this difficult time.  \n\nyou will be happy one day Hiedi23\n♥

Snowbunny, feeling the way you do is perfectly normal. Sometimes you don't know what you had until you loose it, I kow how you feel... No matter who you talk to, its like nobody understands or they can't grasp what you're going through and so you can't seem to get over this depression because even the advice your friends or parents give you still doesn't feel good enough. You just want to cry, you feel like treating everyone around you the way you feel. Can't eat, Can't sleep and you can't remember the last time you really smiled from your heart, but trust me when I say, if its meant to be, he will come back and you guys can try again. It won't be tomorrow or next month, no one knows but trust me. And what ever you do, don't consider hurting yourself over something that might feel "like the end of the world" to you. I've got a scar for every heartbroken event in my life when I was either used or mistreated. 5 years of bad memories but looking back now, I found someone who loves me the way none of those in the past could, even though I thought so that time. Thinking of you snowbunny..... good luck hey!

In your last post you said you felt like you were losing it!...\nAnd talked about lots of things that were happening in your life.\n\nThe last post sounded very "hyper" to be nice.. you seem to be getting very wound up over all this stuff that's happening.\n\nEven with B/P you know not to let people get you all upset like that......\n\nYou need to calm down..take some deep breaths and try to let this stuff go out of your mind..\n\nI have a boyfriend who is B/P and he gets all wound up too and can't settle down..Do you have anyone to talk to by phone??\n\nIf you have "Crisis Centres" were you are ...call one and talk to them.\n\nIf not, don't sit and dwell on all of this stuff, get busy doing something that takes your mind off it for a while.\n\nCall your Dr as soon as you can get a hold of him/her.\n\nplease take care..  and post another message if you have to.\ntake care

It could be a big lack of fulfillment of your needs, feeling worthless, or very disappointed, perhaps someone did something to you and you haven't been able to come to terms with it and give closure to a situation. \n\nAsk yourself what it is, who made you feel so bad? There could be depression, a lack of assurance and feeling less, you'll have to take control of this and these deadly emotions. You have certain issues that if you search deep inside you'll be able to deal with it.

Some people have a chemical imbalance that could cause them to feel this way.  If the doctors you have been dealing with have just been trying to figure out what the "outside problem" is (e.g. trauma in childhood, trauma in adulthood, etc.  ) Try finding someone who will address the entire issue.  You may have had events in your life that cause you to feel this way, but in addition to that you may have a chemical imbalance that adds to these feelings.  Please get help, don't settle on one doctor who doesn't help you, keep searching until you find the right person to give you the help you need.  It sounds like you have family who are willing to help, so take advantage of that.  Talk to your higher power and realize that life is worth living.  Best of luck to you.

Yes zool, sometimes I feel very sad and loney too.  My marriage of 27 years broke up about 3 yars ago.  Then I met someone, fell in love and got engaged.  He died last September.  Since then I can't seem to "find my place."  You know, where I belong.  I moved to another state but feel like I need to go back where I came from because my children and grandchildren are there.  What is making you feel sad and lonely?  You can email me at watsoq9@yahoo.com if you like.

I am sorry that you are going through this, but everyone has at one time or other.  I know it feels like the end of the world, but it isn't.  If you were haveing numerous misunderstandings then it wasn't meant to be.  You may go through several more of these before you find the right one.I am a firm believer that there is someone for everyone out there.  Just got to  weed out the bad ones.  Hope this makes you feel some better.  Good Luck to you!

I'm sorry for your loss.\n\nMy father died unexpectedly when I was 27. \n\nI don't remember much of the first year without my dad, other than some pretty messed-up holidays.  This is a protection mechanism. The first year is the most dreadful, because of holidays, birthdays and the awkwardness of figuring out how to celebrate something supposedly happy with the air of absence and sorrow hanging over it.\n\nWhen people initially told me in a few years it would be better, I was furious with them. I didn't want it to get better and I didn't want believe it would--a part of me felt that I would be a bad daughter if I stopped grieving. As I started healing and felt less pain...TI worried if I was grieving too little. And I thought maybe I had grieved too much, as well! Very confusing. I felt like I was doing everything wrong.\n\nBut this wasn't the case. I was grieving just right for me. And after a few years, it was still sad but not heartwrenchingly so and it kept getting a little better with each passing month. I realized that I wasn't a bad daughter. I realized that I was healing and getting on with my life and that by going on, I was, in my own way, honoring my dad. My father has been deceased for seven years now, and there are still times when it's painful, but it's not crippling or scary any more. And I remember much more of our happy times, too.\n\nPeople grieve at different rates and I feel it is wrong to try to put a timeline on healing. Our society is very timeline-based, even if those timelines don't properly apply to messy, organic processes like recovering from the loss of a loved one.\n\nIf however, you find that your grieving is truly interfering with your family, work and social life after year, you probably need some help working through your sorrow. Books, videos, chaplains or ministers or therapists are all very helpful in situations such as yours.

I'm saddened to hear that you live in this state.  Sounds like you were traumatized a year ago.  I've been through this. It's a horrible feeling. Asking these questions and reaching out for help shows that you are beginning to come out of it.  To return to reality,  face your troubles no matter how much it hurts.  Talk to a counselor, pastor, friend, teacher.  Continue to ask questions if it makes you feel better.  I wish you a bright future!

Well yes for once i do feel like you. And the week that passed i was in the eye of the storm, loosing my cat and watching my puppy die. Since i have no friends either in the country i live the last 3 years, i lost my 2 precious "babies" that kept me some company, altho im only 26 and not bad looking.\n\nIn previous summer i had a horrible incident of panic attack , i could not breathe. I went to Hospital but nothing was organically wrong with me, it was psychologicly caused from anxiety and feeling awful all the time.\n\nSince then, and becouse i hate having panic attacks i try to relax and never let anyone spoil my personal moments.\n\nIn this i want to to point out how much important it is to focus on your life in case you have been focusing on making other ppl's lifes better and neglecting your own. (just in case)\n\nAlso, friends are easily made if you make an effort. I grew up travelling around and i know how hard it is, im not good at it either. But i have learned in practise, if you are happy to make friends, you will at the end! It is natural.\n\nJust dont expect too much from ppl, and always be easy on yourself...especially if u feel bad...take your time, cry or be lazy, dont ponder and dont ask "about the future"\n\nEnjoy your ,even lonely, moments. You are definitaley, NOT ALONE in this.
