have you ever felt sorry for urself?

Yourt job can be mylot!! Don't feel down.. You still have time left to do what you want. If you really want to start a career, it is still possible. My mom went back to school in her late thirties to get a degree and start her career. It's never too late, just remember that. And even if you don't get a job.. Atleast your being a good mother right? I think that's a job well done on it's own.

I actually lost a job where I worked at for 19 years and none of us at work were even given unemployment. Now it is 8 months and I have not been able to land a job, lost my house that I owned for 18 years, have creditors blowing up my phone and knew deep in debt. Do you think I should feel sorry for myself? I don't, I get angry but not sorry. See there are days that I want to curl up in bed and not face the world, but what good would this do me if I didn't dry up the tears and face the day. Whether another disappointing one or not, one things for sue if I do not try no one will do it for me. So it is ok to feel sad or mad but not sorry. Cheer up.

I feel sorry for myself, because I think my condition is so suffering.. I wish to have a better life. But I don't know when that time will come. I just can keep go on and on.. Till I meet that time. ^^ So, just stay positive.

Most of the time I indulge in Self-Pity. But, then I realize it doesn't help. I need to get up and help myself , because no one will.

Its ok, at least your doing something. Your going to help raise your kids the best you can. If you ever want to go out on your own as far as jobs go. Its tough right now. Not many jobs avaiable and its kind of hard if you don't have any skills. So even if you tried jobs it would be hard right now to secure one. Not everyone has there life together, at least your doing what you can to make a family. Thats the real important part of life.

yeah, i felt sorry for myself a couple of times. i had this goal that when i reach certain age i'll have a house of my own, free of debt and all that. but it didn't turn out that way probably because of some circumstances which i don't want to elaborate but you know God is good , life is beautiful. Every time i'm in that mood(feeling sorry)i thought of the blessings i've receive. guess we should start loving ourselves eh? so don't feel down/sad. every thing will be fine as long as you believe and you do something about it.. good luck and God bless :)

ree yah my dear you are not alone evein in the Philippines its the same here in the US in california a lot of women and men are out of wor k and jobs are scarce . My own son spent one year and a half beingo ut of work , just got a job about three yearsago. and he is 51 so its been hard on him too.Yes I have felt sorry for myself too, as when my son lost his job we were evicted from our apt and i as a senior citixen woman finally had to come here just to have a roof overm my head, a retiremenbt center, which in my wildestdreams would ever have come too so yes I have felt sorrry for myselftoo, bu t it does not help; you need to get angry to look for work, to keep doing it and do not get down and network with old friends as often they c an get you jobs you would not find on your own.do not wastetime feeling jealous of others, as you also can do all the s ame things too. just keep trying and network, network, network. Why did you not have a job before, most of us in the US start wor king at 17 or 18? I think Philippine culture is much different and you stay with your parents even after full grown? right? Are you a woman or a man I think woman and theres not a thing wrong with being 30 and o ut of work just pick yourself up , dust yourself off and start all over again as you will soon get a great job and I feel it in my bones so just keep trying. good luck God bless.

Hi, ree_yah. Sometimes I do. There are a few things that I would love to accomplish in life that I have not already done yet. I have three kids and I have so much to do when I am at home with them. I don't have a stable job. I work online to make some extra money that I may need. It is very hard for me too at times. I have so much on my plate. We don't have our own transportation, and this makes it even worse! I hope that things will get better for you soon as it can. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Do the best that you can to live with how things are. It is what it is. Don't stress yourself, you are not the only one that feels like you have no control over your situation.

yes i do feel sorry for myself sometime and for the similar reason, my sister is doing a job, so my parents always tell me to be like her and do a job and be successful like her. sometimes i feel jealous because i don't have a job and i don't do anything. i would love to contribute to my family but m just incapable or at-least i think that way. sometimes i feel so handicapped that i can't do anything, my morale just goes so down, i really don't feel good about that.

I think we have all had a time when we felt sorry for ourselves. it is just human nature to do so. When this happens to me, i try not to let the situation get me down. it would just depress me further and I would feel even sorrier for myself. You have to let the moment go and dtry to find a way to rise above it.

Don't ever feel sorry for yourself. Everything happens for a reason. If ever you did not experience having a job, at least you have experienced being a full-pledged mom which the working moms out there have been dreaming. Taking care of the kids is a 101% difficult job. Being a mom is not an easy task. Anyway, if you want a wonderful and profitable experience... try to venture into business.

...im sorry to hear that...good things happens when you less expect them...maybe your time has not yet come...just have faith in god and do the best that you can do, for sure, he will do the rest for you...

I am almost in the same phase. But I do not have kids and I work. Now, you must be thinking "Then what's the deal". That's even more worse I guess. I am an engineer but work for a basic pay of 8 dollars per hour :(. That's because I want to stay in the same town with my husband. Constraining to a small place in this bad economy times is worse than ever before. All my friends in the university earn a lot and are leading a luxury life (like buying new cars etc) while I am making enough to just pay my house rent. Yes, may be I am happy with my life compared to them, but this inferiority complex, is making me feel lonely and horrible. Now, I am trying to find some extra bucks and keep me busy. Mylot is one of the program I am working on for this purpose. You get a great relief here and keep you occupied, so that you do not have time to think about all that. Just stay busy is all that I have to tell you. All the Best.

yes everybody have felt sorry for themselves some or the other times but that should not let you down as reveal again the strength that GOD had given to you. When there is a mistake there is always a way to handle that problem. Have faith in GOD.

i bet some people are jealous of you too. also, feeling sorry for yourself can waste a lot of valuable time. figure out some way to get the things you want or learn to be content with what you have.

Feeling sorry for urself, maybe every person has. I also sometimes feel it. I feel sorry for myself when he found out, my husband, wanted to marry again. But feeling sorry for myself makes me weak. I do not want to be pitied by myself or others. I do not want pity me down.

Yea, I wallow in self-pity sometimes. I hate being unable to work. I hate being unable to do a lot of things. Being disabled was not what I had planned for my life, and I get sad, mad, disappointed, and all the other stuff, including self-pity at times. In my case, I can't change the way things are, but you can. You have to count your blessings. Are the children happy and healthy? Is your husband faithful and supportive? Do you have enough money to live on? Are you healthy? Instead of looking on the dark side, try looking at things a different way. You even admit that you have things your friends don't have, so maybe you should start to be more positive. Your life isn't over.

You are only 30 years old, you can still start a new career and work the next 30 years in whatever you like. A good start would be to go to an evening school for example and your husband can handle the kids while you can invest some time in a new interesting job. You would have a new sense in your life and feel better. Ask your husband if he's willing to make some compromisses so you can enjoy your life again. Good luck to be brave enough to start something new. It's always difficult to begin a new chapter in your life.

ree_yah The worst situation for one is to be in a state of self pity. May be it is time that you need to look at things differently. If anybody does keep saying poor you, beware of them - they will be the ones who would push you deep into misery.
