I've been really sad recently and I almost couldn't help myself out. I'm still on the process. Do you guys have some to share to a sad little girl?

I think it really depends on your situation to how you can get yourself out of it. I agree that we all have to find our happiness in our lives and some situations are more serious than others and might not allow us to find that happiness right away--just don't try to avoid all the emotions that come with it. Try talking it out, writing, or doing something positive. If that doesn't help and you feel like you could find someone to trust to talk it out, that always helps. Maybe not just one person but many. I've heard that the one way to deal with problems, is to talk it out.

Sadness is one side of life where you give off something or leave something that matters most for good. Maybe all we have to do is to let those moment pass, because eventually this things will be your passage to happiness as you surpassed those sad moments. Enjoy it.

Well, many things can really put us down. but how can you really be happy if you would tend to think negatively all the time, So thinking positively can always change our moods to happiness. And try not to focus more on the downside of your life. Count your blessings and think how lucky you are compare to other people.

hi hushi22!! dont be sad... whenever i am sad.. i call my mom and dad.. since i live not close by.. my hubby will buy me my comfort food ice cream, cake or spaghetti or pancit. any will do. then he'll put my favorite movie and we'll watch it or will watch tv marathon like friends and cougar town. so ill laugh so hard. or just find the root cause of your sadness and make it right.. one more effective thing is.. be around with kids.. play with them.. they will make you laugh so hard.. take care hushi!! have a great day to all!!

Sadness is a funny thing.It is not really because you are lacking something but it is because you lack giving something.If you wait for someone else to make you happy you will be sad.But if you work on making people happy,including yourself,your happiness will be multiplied,as if happiness is contagious.I know this seems backwards but this has long been my observation of it.So,look around to find someone who has more to be sad than you do something ,even something little ,to make them happy.There are few billion people like that out here.I think you will be surprised will this works.

The best way to be happy if you were recently getting sad is to be busy with your work and if you were sitting idols as it really affect to you to be in sad mood. If you be alone without planning for a day than also you will be facing such kind of problem in day to day life.If you keep on sinning or praying than you will forget the problem that you have if it is personal also but I am sorry If is really deep personal but you can try over it.

The best thing you can do is to become busy with yourself. If you are not busy, you can think all things that give you sadness. I felt sad also because I am away from my family and friends. It's not easy to be away to all of them whom you mingle everyday but because the situation now is different so I force myself to make things that will not allow me to think of all this things. Never be alone because it will worst the things. Go out with your friends. talk to any people close to you and keep going on different things maybe you did not make before. Again, keep on busy and never think the things that made you become sad. Hope it will help.

Things in this world can get so bad that it's hard to find things that can cheer us up. Do you have some favorite happy music that you enjoy that you can listen to? Do you have some good friends that you can visit just the get away for a while from your home situation? I find prayer and Bible reading encouraging. I mark some of the verses for future reference when I need encouragement. I like this one very much: Psalm 37:4-5 (New International Version) 4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

I wish I could help, but the problem is that I am most likely more sad then even you are. With all of my issues here at home I met someone that I truly loved, this past week I was already depressed enough when word came that he was in an accident, so to top all of that off, his coworker started sending me some PM's in a forum and telling me how she has won his heart, and that she wants the 3 of us to be together. Now that really topped it off figuring he is clear across the country and she is now with him in the hospital, and none of us are even being updated by her about his situation. So as far as depressed is concerned, I am at a 10, what about you?

Whats the reason behind those sad words? How can I give a good advice without knowing the reason behind those sad eyes. Smile, life is full of happiness... :)

Happiness is a choice. I heard that saying a long time ago. You can choose to be happy even when the situation is sad. Surround yourself with happy people. Exercise - it's supposed to release endorphins that make people happy (I learned that from a movie). Go to the salon, have your nails done or get a new haircut. Go window shopping. It is advisable to do all these things with a friend. It is guaranteed to make one feel better (in my case). :)

Try to be POSITIVE in thinking. You can always control yourself. You always have a say to what you should think and feel. Try to accept the possible solutions for your depression. Do not let any negative vibrations come your way. You might feel the loss and the intensity of the feelings but always remember that there are people who are willing to help you all the time. If you are afraid and you feel not secured, then try to talk to important people in your life like your family. "Communication is one of the essential ways to cope up with your sadness." I hope everything is going okey with you now my friend :) Pray always!
