Hey everyone... sorry i'm having a few downers lately. I no longer have my son with me. My partner and I have split up and now she has moved over 2000 miles away. I am only working and not doing a great deal else, I am trying to get back into all my sports... but i find myself with no modivation. I am not sleeping well, I cannot stop eating (which isn't a bad thing i could do with putting some weight on). I am having a lot of problems concerntrating at work. This makes it hard for me to do much... Can anyone please give me some pointers to move forward? Please! Thanks everyone!

Firstly accept the reality. What ever has happened has happened. If you think that you need your family back, then i suggest you try to do that first. If you think that well i am moving on, then try not to think of the past. Thinking of the past is like a chain around our mind and heart which will always interfere in whatever we do or whatever is said. We know its easier said than done, don't expect things to happen at the snap of fingers. Time heals, so take the time to get over.

Thanks the little! It sometimes just get a little hard. I know i am over the worst... but sometimes i look back. For him, I would do anything... but what was done i don't think i could ever forgive, and so i must move on and visit him as much as possible! I am trying... it's just not an easy thing.

yeah i probably never face such situations in life, but i share what i heard and show people do. Just don't think that whatever has happened is dragging you down. If you think that way, you'll take more time to move on and feel more weight on your shoulders. Anyway wish you luck and happy days ahead.

AJLAWS, Seems you are a lady. Initialy i thought you a Man. Sweetheart, unforgiveness is tool devil use to lock one's happiness. You have nothing to gain and have much to loose. Your ex is not the devil. He was simply use. You had expected so much from him but forgotten both of you are just humans from different background. Pls most contributors here had given brilliant advice. True happiness comes when you forgive and you gain much more as a result. Just give a try.

Hey, Well if you are putting on weight, you should get a gym membership or something like that, also run every single day. For some reason, if you look better, you will also feel better. I don't know why, but it just works. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

My friend, I wouldn't say that your life sucks. You are just going through life's temporary highs and lows. But you cannot let any situation stop you from moving forward. Let's take myself, for example. I graduated with a Liberal Arts Degree from West Point, MS at Mary Holmes College. I was offered a full time scholarship, a job, and a place to stay, too after I had graduated. Even travel accommodations would have been made so I could visit my family during the holidays. I walked away from it all because I was afraid of accepting new challenges in my life. I was afraid that I would fail. I am still feeling the aftereffects of what I have done. That was 10 years back. I have trouble keeping a job. I just got laid off from my current job at a printing company. I have a substantial amount of debt I have a hard time getting out of. I had to move back home with my mother. I have no friends to go to for help out besides my own family. The list goes on and on. The point I am trying to make is your life won't seem all so bad if you view it from a different perspective. Sure your life can be so much better, and it can be a whole lot worse. Be content with what you have because if you don't you may lose that as well. There are people right now less fortunate than the both of us who would give an arm or a leg just to be in our shoes.

Have you tried asking God for help????? He can do anything, so if you just pray and ask him to help you through this though time I'm sure you'll be ok. Now if your really serious about getting through this as soon as you finish reading my response I want you to get a Bible, find these verses, and read them. Joshua 1:5, Psalm 16:8 , and Nahum 1:7. And remember God is able to do anything!

It sounds like you're depressed. You need to see apsychiatrist to talk about things, and she can give you medication. I did this myself. There's no shame in asking for help, only shame in not asking.

I'm sorry about your partner leaving; I just experienced a break up myself. I made a hard decision to break up with my boyfriend. He may not think so, but that is his opinion. Yeah, right now, you may not have the motivation of a gnat, but work your way through this part wish her well, and move on. You have a job; millions of other people in this country don't have one. Perhaps you need to take that energy and put it into your job at present. Affirmations are a good source to keep you moving. As far as sleeping, though I haven't been told, Bath and Body Works Black Chamomile line with the body wash, lotion and pillow mist can help you get a good night's rest. Plus you gotta deprogram your mind for sleeping too. You can't take your worries into the next phase, you gotta sleep. debunk your mind, pray to the Almighty to take them from you and get some rest. Also Bath and Body Works has a Sleep roll on(all of this stuff I mentioned you can get at Ebay or at www.bathandbodyworks.com

look most of the people are passing through situation like yours; me too. I am able to manage myself by just concentrating on god. I daily pray god and remember god everytime that gives me immense inner strength. Becasue this is the period in which no one can make strong and happy; only positive thing can survive you and that you can get by concentrating on god. This is my personal experience. May god Bless you with peace.

Everything happens with a reason. Nothing happens by accident. Whatever situation you're in right now, accept the fact that life is full of ups and downs. Human nature is tainted with so much sin and selfishness that all of us forget to look for one source of true strength and encouragement.....and that is focusing our very lives to our creator. Friends can sympathize with you, but the world will never be kind to us. You may say we're just humans born to make mistakes. Yes that is a fact indeed. Our sinful nature has alienated us from our loving God. But is never too late to give up on life. Just address all your concerns and worries to God and accept your weakness before Him. Prayer is a mighty weapon against the devil who are trying to tempt you in distrusting God and also to yourself. Learn the art of forgiveness and let go of your emotions. It will only activate undue stress to your body my friend. As long your still alive in this dying world, there is hope in God. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That is why it is called a present.....don't give up.

I'm sorry for all that you are dealing with but too get motivated you need to start thinking positive and not think in the past. If there is a chance of getting back with your family. Work on that only if that is truly what you want. If not just move forward in keeping busy, eating good, maybe exercising - join a gym. I would also recommend reading "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrnes. Excellent movitation book teaching you how to have the life you deserve and want. I wish you nothing but the best in your life and stay focused. Take care!

One thing that I have alway's said to people is that once you reach the bottom there is only one way to go, and that is up. So alway's keep that in mind. Life give's us, up's and down's we just have to try and work our way out of the downfall's. Just try and think of something positive when you are in one of these mood's, or even think of your son, and about how much you want to see him, it will give you the will to keep working at your goal's.
