I wonder if i am alone in this world or if that is how it is with everyone. Sometimes i feel very happy And sometimes i feel very sad....like crying. Some times i feel i understand all i need to stay alife.Someother times i feel i need someone to tell me things. Sometimes i say "life's beautiful" sometimes i say "i wish i am dead".....
Thats how it has always been with me. Infact nowadays i don't share my feelings with anyone because i know in another minute it is gone..........Am i alone in my world? Or is that how everyone feels? Or is it bad for my life?
PLS , I NEED ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if this is how everyone feels, maybe only at certain times in their lives. But I feel like you do often. I always have. I have become very strict with myself about positive thinking, when ever I notice a funk coming on I stop myself and think positive thoughts. It's helping

you see, i do the positive thinking most of the time. I try to make sure i am in control. I try to manage myself well. But sometimes this feelings seems to gather up and come together at once........I WISH I CAN EXPLAIN BETTER. Everyone i tell don't really understand. I am always in a constant battle with my feelings. Always trying to put my hesd up. Must it always be like that?
there are some things about my past that keeps hunting me. I try to push them away. But they are always around me. I win some times but they do win too....Must i always be at war with myself to stay alife?

Are you a man or woman? If you are a woman, you may have some hormone imbalances, this can be found with a blood test. If you are a man you may have some depression,
don't worry we all have it and if you know what it is you can say to yourself Oh it's just depression and overlook it.

I don't know what to tell you. I know that only you can change your life and the way you think. I can tell you what you sound like from the outside, and I think
you need a cause. Something that is of great interest to you besides yourself. The Happiest people are those that have great passion for something outside themselves.
But if you read their biographies these experience self doubt and dark days at times. This may just be the human condition. Blessings

I often struggle with thise exact feelings you have described. I get in touch with a menatl health counsellor and they had diagnoised me with bipolar and started me on the right medication and now my moods pretty much stay stable.

well, what if i tell you everyday is thesame thing? When i am happy it is because i have been able to put aside all my worries. That doesn't stop them from being there? The doctors says the same thing-"it is normal"-"just relax"-"you are a man you should be able to handle things now". But i ask them have they ever felt like that in any point in their life? Most try not to asnwer...those that did said NO. Maybe i don't know how to explain myself. But the funny thing is i do feel i don't need to worry sometimes. I do view the future wit a lot of hope some times and i seem to forgt even the present.....My question is. IS THIS HOW IT IS WITH EVERYONE? I guess not. IS THAT ANYONE THAT FEELS THAT WAY? I'll really love to know.
THANKS FOR YOU ADVICE.......AND, I AM NOT CRAZY.

I think that life effects all of us in a way that no one could be expected to feel the same all of the time. You could be feeling on top of the world and be walking down the sidewalk, then you are splashed from head to toe by a passing car. Such is the nature of life, forever unpredictable and ever changing.
At the end of the day, it matters how much we let these moment to moment changes effect us overall. If you are generally content then these things are easy to shrug off but if you are dealing with uncontrollable mood swings then there may be something more going on.
Remember that you are your own best authority and your best answers will come from within your own experience. You will never be a carbon copy of another person and how you feel may be exclusively your own. What I will stress is that if these feelings are unmanageable or are "out of control", you might want to share what you are feeling with your doctor or a trusted professional source to make sure everything is okay. Don't feel that your feelings are something that must be hidden because they aren't the same as everybody else's. You have a right to feel. It is human.
I hope this has been of some help to you.

Thanks alot for your advice. But maybe i should give you a better picture of how i feel.
You see i have alot of past that keeps hunting me. They are always around to add to my feelings. Most times i put them aside and ahead. But some times they cover me up. So much that i feel like crying out loud. I believe we all av a past.why should mine stay this long? What happened to me are nothin so important yet they take a grate deal of my effort to keep them off. Apart from my past even my present and future are grate concern to me....They affects me a good nmber of times.
You see i can handle my past when it comes alone. And i can do thesame to the rest if they come alone(which i do everyday-i figth atleast one of them everyday).But come and imagin me when i have to figth the tree of them at thesame time.
Some times i just get tired of figth.....I just give up on hope........I just allow everything to flow......The pain of the past, the struggle of the present and fear of the future........I only manage not to cry....So tell me, Is that how it is with everyone- is there even any one that feel thesame?
