I know it sounds really awful,

There are one hundred and one problems we read everyday in mylot. Looks like mylot has become a place for people to wash their dirty linens in public and releasing some of their problems affecting their life. Everybody has their own personal problems which make us feel our problems is only a dust in the desert.

I know what you mean. you just feel that you are not alone with your problems, there are other people on the same boat or worse. I don't necessarily feel better if I know someone is on the same boat or worse I would either get more emotional because apparently unfairness and deception are more common, or I would urge these people to stand up against it and find help because I would do the same

Don't worry about it I feel the same way sometimes it's all good! I am so bored this is the last Friday of my vacation and back to work on Monday. I have so many things on my mind that are really bothering me to the point where I feel sick like today I was thinking about those things and I got sick this morning and I have no one to tell about it that would understand I have tried and It just does not get anywhere so to get mind mind off what is really bothering me I come here on my lot and just chat with people and starting and responding to discussions helps to forget about what's on my mind everyday hopefully time will pass quickly and I will forget about it!! Have a Happy New Year!

I know exactly how you feel. The internet lets you put a lot of things in perspective. One of the things that is so clear is just how much I actually have. Once I did a topic on how many shoes does a person have. I have over 100 pair and always looking to buy more. I used to feel sad when I couldn't afford yet another paid of shoes. The I started reading about people that had 1-5 pairs and were perfectly happy. There is always someone worse off than you. If you can't find that person, just go to the cemetery.

lot is one of the place for us to see that there are many people who face much worse things than us.sometimes we might thought that we really had a serious and bad problems while at the same time we forgot other people who have greater problems to deal with.only then we will realized that we should be thankful to god we don't get what the others get and if it happened to us remember that it it a test for us to overcome any obstacles with guides from Him.some said to me, many of us see a rainbow above the others head but we never realized we have the same rainbow above us after all ~

I feel the same way. This is only my first 24hours and the very first discussion I saw was one I can relate to. It had to do with how to cope when unemployed. I have been out of work for six months, myself it is very hard on me and my two kids.

It doesn't sound awful at all. Its not like you rejoice in someone else's pain and suffering, but many times as humans we get so wrapped up in our own problems that we fall into despair, seeing no end. But when we read or hear about another's plight, and even see them get through it, it gives us insight that our problems may not be as deep as we perceive, and we gather strength to conquer our own problems.

I think if we all would take the time we can always look around & see people w/bigger problems than what we have. Happy new year to u.

Don't feel too bad, you're not the only one that feels like that. I know it does seem awful when you think about it but I think it's a natural thing to feel these things. We can sympathize with a lot of the issues some of the people have but at the same time we can't help but be glad that it's not us going through it. We're all going through different things in life, just some seem worst off than others. AT least now I won't feel so bad about my way of thinking.

It's nice to know we are not alone. I think that it's great to hae a community of people from so many places and wals of life but still have things in common. It also feels good to be able to help someone else with an issue or be helped when you are going through a problem...I do know what you mean.

Don't feel awful I think that's natural. We like to relate to others and not feel like we are crazy.

I do the same thing read some discussions that seem to make me feel a little bit better and not complain about my own problems. I guess that is the great thing that this whole thing is anonymous so it's healing in a way...

I know exactly what your saying. we all have our crosses to carry, some are bigger and some are smaller if that makes any sense...

No one's life is perfect. We are all human. If through sharing we can help others and be helped, life becomes easier, hopefully. Life itself is not easy especially in the midst of issues, friends can make a difference. It is all good that you feel better when you start to count your blessings. Be sympathetic to others too. I remember when my girl was a toddler we used to play the Hap Palmer Song: We are all alike.

Like others have said, it does put your life in perspective to see and read about the problems others have. It cheers you and possibly helps you encounter solutions. It is a way to feel happier about your life.

i read a lot of discussions and also feel the same,---there are people a lot worse off than me. My big complaint is that i never have much time , for example, i have lots of mails backed up, there are people who are friends on mylot , who i never respond to , and I do feel bad for that. But there are people who have too much time on their hands, they have no job , they suffer because they cannot afford to buy food, some don't even have a roof over their heads, and i complain as i don't have enough time to spare. i have a nice house , a car and a great job(long hours but a great job) so i should think i am a more fortunate person Mylot is tons better than facebook in the way you can communicate and understand people and their problems.

i totally understand what you mean.. even though you dont wish bad luck on anyone you dont want to be the only one that has it

I get what you mean here, my friend. Your talking about something that you cannot emphasize what are these or what is that? Would you mind to tell us. What problems are you talking about?

I understand your feelings on this. Sometimes it feels that you are alone when everything seems to be one way traffic: downwards.

jugsjugs It felt great to feel that there are others who share the same problems and then I feel that my problems is not a monopoly Graduate alone and reducing my sense of the problems is my vision to the problems of others here at mylot where I then know for a fact I do not have problems in the true sense that the failure in the exam or leave my friend does not compare someone who watches sons of dying one after another, I wish you and all members of the site and their children Health and wellness. thanks for your question.
