Oh well... My name I think will always be attached with the words "sorrow," "sadness," and any term related to these words... I just discovered something. And I thought I was already to accept things. But when I knew that something, I reacted. Oh well. I think I really have to put to halt what I have been doing. Things make me sad. Things make me happy. But I am always sad than being happy. I just hope my predicaments just fade away... I am trying hard to be happy... but I think things have been working to make me sad.
Good day to all.

Then do something that does make you happy. Surround yourself with happy people and stay away from the sad sacks. You are too young to have a face like a horse!

If you fell sorry for yourself, your pains will increase. Why do you relate to sorrow so much. You are in a negative frame of mind, so the first thing you shuld do is take a paper and write all the positeive things in life that have happened to you. You have a house, money to spend, eat three meals a day and people who love you. Write them down and see how much happier you are than many of your fellow human beings. The more happy you keep yourself, the more positive energy is around you, so people will relate likewise to you. Everybody has its ups and downs. Dont let the downs upset you soooo much that you forget to be happy. Positive vibrations will bring positive actions.

i am so sorry if that is what you feel...i think you just gotta have to look at things the positive way...look at the bright side of life...try comparing yourself with the least fortunate ones...maybe, you just gotta have to value what you have...
how do you view your life and how would you define happiness?...maybe you just gotta have to simplify your outlook...
actually, i feel sad to...really sad...i have problems and it is really huge...but i just look at life...being alive gives me hope and happiness..yeah, i have more reasons to be sad than to be happy...but at least i still have reasons to be happy...so i always try to value more those 'reasons' to be happy that letting those 'reasons' to be sad darken my day...

Hi Eb.
I'm new and I can't ignore your topic.
With today society many factors causes loneliness. Actually all of us at one time or another in our life felt sadness. We need someone beside us to lend us an ear. It is part of our growing up and it makes us tougher once we over come it. And I know that you will. Opening up what you feel like in this discussion will help a lot.
.Keep in mind that your situation can be changed that it is not a permanent situation but a common experience shared by other.
.Feel content about our self in general. Don't expect too much from your self.
.Develop a good habits in eating and exercise, and get adequate sleep.
.Value your friends and their unique qualities.
.do something for others- give them a smile. Thing of what you can do to help other.
"It is happier to give that to receive."

Then I should view my world at a different perspective then... I mind was set to only focus on one entity: the girl I love the most. :)

As they say it all is up to you. You can always choose what you want in life. We call it shifting. Every day is a moment of choice and if today you chose to be sad then so be it but then you can always change what you want today by shifting your emotions. The possibility is endless for you have a choice. The first two post already gave you what to do and I won't be repeating it in here I just would like to remind you that you can be what you want to yourself today. Whichone is of value to you your sadness or your happiness?

hi ebtenorio.i think you have just bent yourself in a negative frame of mind.might be becuause the love of your life might have betrayed you.well all i can say is that life is very beautiful,enjoy it,live it to the fullest.you need to come out of this frame of mind.why dont you take some holiday and go out to some place where nobody knows you and where you can feel what all you have with yourself,which you really need to treasure.you have your family and friends who love you a lot and want to see a smile on your face always.you need to live ofr others.enjoy with your friends.go for outings and other places where there is crowd so that you can mingle.and if you really cannot do all these then go to an orphanage where you can really see the troubles of life but still children are smiling and enjoying the life.find a reason to smile not to be sad.

There was this song that helped me see that there is an alternative.
If you're going through hell, keep on going, don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it, you might get out. Before the devil even knows you're there.
I don't like country but this was a good song. Today is a sad day for me too. It started out horrible, and it's not even half way over yet. I have to go to court at 1:30pm. I am extremely nervous. But this too shall pass. Remember that, even if it doesn't make sense or anything now, just remember: This too shall pass. I am starting to realize the meaning. I know what it means, but I'm starting to really accept it is what I mean. I really hope I've helped you somehow. I cannot put myself in your shoes unless you tell me exactly what is going on, but I can't force you to say. I hope things work out for you. I know the feeling.

Hello! Nothing is more painful in this world than a broken heart. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross proposed that when people are faced with problems or stress, they usually go through five stages--Denial, Anger, Depression, Bargaining and Acceptance. Obviously, you're still confused and depress as to how you will face the world now.
It's simple really. Things DO NOT make you sad. It's the MEANINGFULNESS of the experience to you which makes you sad. How you look at things, how you see things--they determine our responses to these problems. Henceforth, our reactions and emotions are products of how you think.
I do hope that your "happy thoughts" will outnumber your "sad thought". It's the only way that we can deal with life. After all, no matter what happens to us, LIFE GOES ON. Good luck 'pare ko. :-)
