If you feel like this alot of the time then you should probably go to a doctor as it could be depression, however if you dont, you need to do activities that release endorphins- which could just be going for a 10 minute jog. Talking a long walk... Anything that makes you feel good, even if you dont want to do it.. atleast try, and then you'll feel somewhat better.

It's hard to know exactly what to do, because when we do hurt inside we see more of the negative and what can happen. We feel lower than the ground and just struggling to hold on with everything we've got. But I think when we feel like that and feel like giving up, we find someone to tell if we can. Someone that we trust. Especially if we've been holding onto it for awhile, it's not going to be easy to give up. I'm going through it right now. I have a lot of things that are frustrating and it's hard not to throw in the towel, despite opening up to someone especially important that I'm struggling. The only thing is that I cannot accept that help as well as I'd like to. I think all the issues, mistrust, feelings, etc, seem to roll into one little ball that is debilitating and makes me want to crumble. Even though one day I know that'll it get better if I just hang on and work through it all, and that everything will have to get worse before it gets better.

I think the best way to relief your pain is to talk to someone you trust and who is able to understand and support you. If are not the kind of person who opens up too easily to someone else, you might try doing something you really enjoy (listening to music, watching a good movie, painting etc).

Get it out. Talk about it with a close friend. If you have no close friends, go online. Open up anonymously.

I believe this is fairly common on all of us human beings. At times, things get to us and we feel weak inside. What I do, mostly, is think of the people I love. Those that always be there for me, who would understand and really feel me if they were to be there with me at that moment. It helps greatly to remind yourself that you are not alone. Somewhere out there, there're people who love you and will also be sad if they know you are sad. Remember, whatever happens in life, there is a reason for it, and that there'll always be sunshine after the rain. Good luck.

-Give it time. -Treat your self with ALL the kindness like you are treating a baby, but not feeling sorry for your self but being nice, you know like when you treat someone that you just fell in love. -Do only what you like to do and avoid the things you dont. -Seek for funny things that will make you laugh, turn on the computer and check funny pictures, humor blogs and stuffs. One time or another you will end up laughing, even if you didnt believe you could. You dont have to laugh, just a smile will do. -Play with animals and release the child inside of you. Of course dont play with them just at difficult times but always, its been proven how animals are benefic to our health. -Have a chat and hang out, or just call a kind and dear friend of yours. One that doesnt criticize you, that is really nice. If you can, make this friend to stay over or stay over in his/her house. -Sing. Really, it makes you feel better. The first 2 minutes might make you feel a little stupid, and you dont want to do that, believe me it will become fun and you might not stop later. -Dance. Hope I can help you. By the date I think you might be better...2 weeks later, but anyways, good luck.
