Who is your greatest support in your life when you are feeling down???

Nowadays, I don't get any much support from anybody when I'm feeling low. So, I try not to feel so low. Usually I could rationalize myself out of whatever negativity that I am feeling. But there were times in the past where my parents were my support when I needed help. I'm also glad that they are still around.

I guess my b/f is my strongest support. I actually tend to keep my roughtimes to myself and ride them out though. It's not really good to be that way....a person needs support. I have been alone for a very longtime and I guess I just kind of learned to be a bit of a loner. I am usually the one that people comes to for support but the truth is that I am usually just as messed up as they are..lol...it makes me feel good to be there for people though. Maybe that is a "support system" in a way. You are very lucky to have people close to you that you can depend on.

myself. as always.. though sometimes i prefer being with someone but i don't want people giving me advises and all that. i just want them there with me. listen, observe or what, just don't talk about what i feel -- it's not going to help me. but i prefer being alone and think about everything when i'm down.

I do not have such parents like yours. I am an introvert and most of the time I do not have someone to support me because I am not comfortable of letting out my experiences or downfalls. I do have a best friend who would advise me and support me through my problems, but we are not classmates anymore. I keeping most of these downfalls by myself but I do not let it overcome me. There are lots more things to worry or be happy about than being sad.

Im feeling down, i look back at the time and think....and make to clear myself that, im not a burden for my own life. Then i just talk to my parents or friends or specially my partner. And clear my mind and go on with the life that it should be.

I know,for me right now my supporter will be my parent but i don't want to trouble them so i keep difficulty and problem myself I'm not going to let them know or anyone close to me knew it. Have a nice days everyone.

my hubby is really good that way. i have fibromyalgia and i really need his help most of the time.

My parents,and added to this my WILL TO FIGHT, the undying attitude. Of course all these will turn out to be possible with the Divine grace. Take care Saivenkat

I can say that the greatest support in my life is my husband coz every time i am feeling down he was there to give moral support. He understand me even when i have tantrums. The greatest sacrifices that he did to me was when i m in the depth of problems regarding our marriage situations. He try to carry all the pains that i gave him and everything that is really painful to him. This is just my support here that is visible to me but my greatest of all is the only one GOD which always make a way for me for us to move and to carry on. I always bear in mind that everything has an ending. God is my greatest support in my life second is my husband and family.

My parents are deceased but they would not have been my choice to speak to when I am down. It would depend on what is the problem. I have a few good friends to call upon and also my children. sometimes I need the advice of a male and have two male friends that would listen to me and advise or I would go to one of my GF's who could be trusted. You have to have someone to trust. I spend as much time as possible in prayer. Blessings

A pleasant day to you Lingli_78, With reference to your main topic, there is only one man whom I consider my greatest support in my life, and that is, God. Eversince I was a child, He was my great companion, though I have my parents, friends and relatives, still, God was always there for me. Until now and the rest of the days of my life.

Of course my parents who are always by my side. They were the one's who always guide in of all the things that I am doing, in making decision for my future and correct me if they think that I am being mislead. They are always after my happiness and wanted me to have a good life. Whenever I have a problem they are always there to help and advise me on what to do. And they are always there to protect me.

someone who is really closed to you. A best buddy or a girl friend or family members to give you guidance and to listen to your problem.

Strangely enough it's not my parents that i get the support from. Usually in moments when I need some kind of support I either call my friends or uncles (i have amazing twin uncles who always know how to cheer me up). Parents don't really get lots of things, as they've lived in different times and things that are important to me seem sometimes silly to them. Also we've got quite different views on life, religion and things like that. So I usually call friends for support.

My mom is still my greatest savior when I am at my bitterest ends. At 75 she is always evergreen and ever willing to shower all her children not only with her motherly love but is the most generous mom that anyone could ever have. She is unselfish as she has sacrificed in producing 10 children and even to our adult age she still give out material benefits equally to all her children. She is not only my greatest motivator but she is my walking bank as a phone call to her when I am in desperate situation will immediately get her to solve my emergency needs.

Hi lingli, Usually they are the friends who are a great support in different junctures of life but the role one's parents play in this regard is indeed matchless. I used to look at my mother since I knew my being as I am. Now I am grown up and my mother is no longer there with me to guide me through. But her place has been taken up by my wife. Whenever I am upset or depressed or down this is my wife who understand my condition and comes up as per requirement. She is great.

As for me my greatest support when I am down is only GOD. He is my ultimate strength and is my only armor. I just lay down my problems to HIM and he will make a way to make me feel good.

You still lucky to have your parents with you , cherish that you have with them and love them so much they the only living person who will help you all thru your life. And always be faith with God , He is the the truth and help us all in our life, I too is always in stress and down in our life, my wife and children are the only family that support me and help each other when times goes wrong in my life. I know God will be there for us for guidance, strengthen us when we are down. I hope this will help you and strengthen your faith to GOD.I hope you will succumb your problem right away and be happy.

Hi, At down times one really need support of near&dear ones.I should congratulate you for having your parents on your side and supporting you.Believe in God believe he is with you always,that will boost your confidence. For me When I was down my wife and parents played a crucial role in lifting up my spirits,as still I am struggling but I am confident that I can comeback in life.I read books of people who fought back their lives and cam back. Those books really inspire me,every day almost I read some book or a page or a passage in my collection of books to keep me inspired.Make friendship with good books they will be with you in your good and bad times. Wish you good luck and happy days again.
