Disappointments are part and parcel of life. Every single human mortal (regardless of race, gender, profession, belief, orientation in life, etc.), is not exempted from it. What is important is for one to muster the courage to stand above them. It is a matter of mind setting and the will to do it. Sure, the pain drowns us in helplessness, particularly when the experience is very fresh and hits us real hard. But quitting is not the right option to do. Never make any immediate decision because it might lead to regrettable consequences.
It is better to let the feeling subside for a while. How? Plenty of options like the ones proposed in the myLotters' responses (go to a bar, speak with your friends, go to a house of prayer and ask help from your God, see a counselor, watch movie, take a joy ride, relax in a beach or mountain resort, or eat outside).
Enjoy life.

Thank you asliah for picking my response as the best. All of the responses are very good ones; your choice is your personal prerogative. May the "best response" feed back scheme inspires all the others to make real good on the things they do (with or without money attached to it). Best regards to everybody.

life has its all kinds of flavor, and it is how you live with it is the challenging part. if you have disappointments and so does other people. but you also need to count your blessings so you can appreciate the good side of life as well. i do believe in prayers so i pray when i am down. i also havea son that makes me forget about disappointments and it always amazed me on how a small smile from him can make my mood change. life is good.

There are many days I too have the same feeling as you as I have had numerous events in my life that have failed. However, I have learned that although I get sadden and depressed that I have to have faith within me to try my best and look forward to yet another day.
I often feel that most times we go through certain situations as something better is in store for us later. We just need to try hard to be positive and remember that nothing is permanent.

Hi Asliah!
I guess all you have to do is to think of your blessings instead of your disappointments. Yes, you will really be depressed because of your too much thinking of something that would make you unhappy.
I was once like that before but I surrender all my disappointments to God. I know that God doesn't want me to be unhappy. I think of gratitudes and things that I have now. I also think of the things that I can do and passionate about.
Our mind is higher than our hearts reason why we should use more of it. Using more of it is exercising it to think of happiness and possitivity.

Asliah, you may not like what I am going to write.It seems you always take things in a negative manner, and you have always started discussions which are alway negative. First of all you have to get rid of all the negative thoughts and start thinking positively. Yes I know that you have lost your BF, and you are yet to get over it. you have lost your job, and your sister is always shouting.If you are going on thinking of all these, you will certainly fall into a deep depression.Just get out of this mindset, go and find a new boyfriend, a job is not big thing, you can certainly get it, and do not care what your family members say.
Start having positive thoughts, go to a temple/church, go to park or beach and enjoy the sceneries. Go to a good comody or action movie.Do not go to a weepy movie.Go and dance in a dance bar or go and start singing in a karokee bar.Otherwise just do physical exercies, go jogging, all these will help you to come out of your hopelessness.Relax and enjoy your life.
