This discussion is about people who just felt lost and dont know what to do with life. Like at one point in your life you knew that you are no longer sure of what you are doing, when you think you have let everybody down and you yourself felt defeated. WHen you dont even have a social life and you dont know whom should you call as friends ANd you start to ask why in the world do you feel so alone and unwanted, and sometimes why do you feel not guilty at all in wanting to end it all. and that you dont even know whether there is a God who listens when you feel empty, and desolate, and asking where is the love and how can i go back to it.

It's definitely normal to most people who feel almost all feelings in the world.. sadness, depression, heart aches, happiness, etc.. But even though you feel so alone, just remember.. There is still a "GOD" who listens to you when you're friends couldn't. He just listens. You're the one who is in control of your emotions. You can simply forget all the hurt and choose to be happy. If not, then definitely its a hard thing to cope with. You have friends right? Even though they might not always be there for you, you can still stand on your own feet to fight all your problems and troubles. Social life is one factor to make someone feel like he/she belongs. Like in a group, organizations or peer. But if you dont have a social life at the moment, then that is definitely not a factor why you feel like you dont belong or unwanted. Its a matter of choice. You can be anything you want. You can be happy for whatever you have.. Just find peace within yourself. Don't be sad about having no one to talk to or share with. Self-pity is definitely a challenge.. even for me.. I get lonely and all the sad feelings in the world. But as long as I think that I still have "him" to talk to, I find peace and happiness.. Take good care!

Well, for me it's not so much where love is, or God is, as I feel like there should be something more to life, and I'm not sure what.

Everybody goes through these feelings,especially during such moments the support of family members and the loved ones is extremely cruicial for developing the lost confidence of individual making him feel that he is not alone and not loser ,and his much more valueable than it,the other flip side of it is when one is really depressed or under hard times one experiences the true meaning of life and himself ,able to judge who are the people who really care for him in his tough times just making him mentally stronger to deal with such experiences in the near future.

I know all of those feelings, quite profoundly in fact, its awful and people in general cant make you feel better in my experience, you have to find a way inside yourself to do that, although that is very hard. Friends i think you know if you have them and there real cos they are there, plain and simple, they dont judge you, they dont treat you like " oh you feel depressed? what AGAIN" people have a terrible habit of doing that when it comes to mental health. You can feel completely alone in a huge room of people though, and lost and just into yourself where you dont know who you are any longer and its a scary feeling. Maybe something we all have to go through in order to spritually and mentally gain strength.

depressions could hardly create boredom in our life. My experienced on these things made me reply on this topic...........everything i ever had experienced. In life........when my father abandoned us when i was still in 3rd year college without any message from him........... CAREER .....yes i was on my 3rd year in college i took examinations for POPULATION COMMISSION who was hiring and of more than 200 examinees only 3 of us who passed the exams. 2 professionals and i was a student at that time. keep waiting for my appointment it was kept by certain person and they note in there ......."not interested with the hob." Love, i was so in love with the preist but it's not right so i must leave the group just to be away from sins. RELATIONSHIPS..........yes when my ex abandoned me run away with my cousin so hard to think because i never miss the time when he needs me.....i was always with him even it is hadr for me, i tried my best ALL these frustrations made me bored and being empty but because of my "FAITH TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST" He never leave me in times of troubles. Will you allow depression ruin your life?
