*Happy Face* -> My Life.... (1/3/2008 9:23:52 PM)
I'm so glad to have found this forum. You see lately,I've felt like my whole life is falling apart. I don't have a full time job yet,and I hate that I'm not out on my own yet. At night I can't sleep,sometimes can't eat. My whole body aches, and my head won't stop hurting. I never tell anyone because no one ever cares to listen to me or my problems. I long too see people whom I hardly speak to,But when they come around.I just stay in my room and try to avoid talking to them or associating with them. I don't what's wrong with me.Everything just seems too hard. I don't know how many nights that I've cried myself to sleep. Even though,I never fall asleep until morning. I pray every night too. It helps sometimes. I sometimes wish that my life was over. I hate being like this. I guess it maybe depression or something. Has anyone ever experienced feelings like this or know someone who has. Perhaps you can help me.[:(]

Dearest Leanda, my heart goes out to you for feeling so depressed. Yes, there are others in this forum who have experienced depression. Almost everybody, sooner or later, has felt like this at least for a time. I don't know how old you are, but I think it would be very helpful to find a counselor you can trust. We here in the forum like to support you in every way, but I am not sure that this alone is enough for you. Do visit often and share whatever you like. Often it helps to have a safe place for expressing one's feelings. I'll keep you in my prayers asking for light and peace for you, Much love and warm hugs, Edda

Dear Leanda I can relate to everything you said in your post I could have written that myself. I suffer with depression and have done for what seems a life time. I don't work myself at the moment and haven't for about 6 years as my doctor won't let me and even if she did I wouldn't be able to cope with it. I don't know if you've seen a doctor or not but it sounds like you do need to see one as you may need some medication to help you through this bad patch. I'm on medication for my depression don't like taking it but if I didn't I would be in a worse state than I am at the moment which is bad enough. Some days Its a stuggle to just get out of bed when I'm feeling so low never mind cook a meal or even get out of the house. I could tell you more but I don't know if you'd want to know so I will just say that I do understand what you are going through and people on here do care best wishes sharon

Dear Leanda, Thank you for sharing your message. I wish to respond as the ache you're experiencing is something I can relate to. Life contains ups and downs, and some time it is rough and tough to carry on. And I myself feel overwhelmed by that from time to time. In those darker moments are the hardest to find the light, but once it gets lighter, I can look back these moments and say that, because of these moments, I've found the renewed light on the path which was once grayedout. In contrast, if I am happy all the time, how can I be able to find the brighter light in life? I have wished to have my life on the edge when I was younger, and I am on the edge now (and I like it!!) :) I spent time in nature during the holiday, it was beautiful, very a restorative time. I might just try another. Do you like walking in nature Leanda? It's a way for me to re focuse my internal;it's good, rather than wearing the same pair of black sunglasses. My prayer contains you.. Warmest regards, y from Japan.

Dear Leanda, I, too, hope you are considering talking with someone about the way you are feeling. While it helos to have a listening ear in the form of friends or forums, you also might need to speak with a mental health professional, especially if you are having thoughts of harming yourself. Having said that: I inferred from your post, when you spoke about not being out on your own yet, that you are young. I don't know what other issues you may be dealing with, but please know that nothing is forever. That's the blessing and curse of our lives. Hang in there, and keep talking to people. Louie

Dear Leanda, I would like to assure you that many, many people do suffer just the way you are at the moment. I have two very good friends who both suffer from depression. One of them has struggled on for nearly 20 years and has recently gone onto medication. He doesn't like taking drugs either, but he is feeling better, and he may not be on them for ever. For the majority of people depression is a temporary thing, and may be triggered by changes or life events. With help it will get better. Do go and see a professional who will be better able to guide you. Best wishes, Jude

Dear Leanda! I console with you and have gone through similar feelings. It's not easy, for I too am just now embarking on my own, but it doesn't make those nights any easier. Life is often hard on us, and no, it's not fair, but it's also too short to pay attention to only the negative when there is good out there too. Let the light dissolve this darkness, dust off your shoulders, and believe in the light and it will guide you to the life you are supposed to lead... I know this sounds a bit poetic, but it has helped me...everyone has to find their own way through this crazy world...Often times, it's hard not to go insane...But we must hold to what we hold dear to us and breathe in the light and learn to be happy with what we have and just "be"... Many Blessings of Love and Light to You Leanda! Peace! -SoftRainFall-

Welcome to the forum, Rebecca! Thank you for your thoughtful words to Leanda! I hope you will visit often and contribute your experience, your thoughts - anything you like to talk about. I admire your realistic and positive outlook on life! Wishing you everything good, Love, Edda

louie -> RE: My Life.... (1/7/2008 4:57:28 PM)
Leanda, I have been muddling through my day, but continue to think of you as I go about my business. I hope you got good sleep last night, and that you are having some peace today. Donna
