Hi parthu! I have gone through periods like that often and I'm kind of experiencing one now. During these times everything seems hopeless and it is really difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but you must remember the light is there although you can't see it yet! First of all your life is not a complete waste because if you weren't around there are people who would be very sad, the love of your life for one. Sometimes when everything is getting to you a helpful thing to do is take a little time away so you can clear your head and take each problem individually and rationally analyse it. You will probably find that if you distance yourself from everything, shrug your shoulders and say, "Whatever..." in other words stop fighting everything and go with the flow slowly things will fall into place again. Take heart, it's normal to feel like this every now and again, hard to believe as it sounds, things will get better you'll see!

Sometimes you just have to sit with until you feel better that happens to me sometimes; try and do as many enjoyable things as you can. If you don't feel better in a while have you thought about having a chat to someone like your doctor or a someone who can counsel you perhaps? Let us know if things improve, try to do something fun to forget your problems in the meantime.

I can understand how you feel. The feeling like the world is collapsing on you, and you don't know what to do to feel better. You need to get up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and say that for now on you will try to fix your life no matter what. Try to succeed in work, and in love. You the only person that can make her life better. You and no one else. Don't fall !

I feel that way every day just about. I am not were I thought I would be or were I want to be in life. I ask myself daily why I even bother. I only have one answer: my kids. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here. But I do have them and I know that they need me and depend on me. So, I stay strong while they are around me and fall to pieces when they aren't. But I keep going because I know that they need me to and because I love them so much and couldn't hurt them like that. They say things will get better, that God will not give you more than you can handle. I'm not going to say that things will get better, because I don't know. And if God doesn't give us more than we can handle, I sometimes wish he didn't trust me with so much. Life is not always what you make it, because we get curve balls thrown at us. All you can do is just keep being strong and hope and pray that one day things will be better.

i feel that the only thing that holds us together in this kinds of situations is someone who loves us and depends upon us........in your case it is your kids and in my case it is my love.i just hope we are strong enough to cope up and do everything for the people who love us.....

I felt depressed too, and I rested from my struggles, have time with myself by attending seminars alone, so in between time, I can think about me and my presence to others. At first its difficult because you will feel self-pity, later, I thought, why not change my usual me. So I did. I think young, dress up young, meet people by joining a networking business. I started to feel better, my image in my workplace changed. I never say no to any work assigned to me, so, my employer liked my performance. Why not try my experience?

I think we all feel like like this at one time or another. We all feel like we are not measuring up to others or even to our own expectations. The thing to think of at these times is how can I improve myself. What is it that I could do to improve things that I am not currently doing. Maybe I need a plan to get myself in to a better place. I want to be at a certain place a year from now, what can I start doing now to get myself to where I want to be one year from now.
