I don't even know why i am writing this? For no reason maybe or i am totally lost.Life seems without any purpose.Right now alone sitting at pc and feeling so alone.If i try analyzing myself then i am just empty.I lost the only man i loved and i don't even know where he is now and how is he? Just trying to ignore all my feelings and putting up a happy face isn't going anywhere.I am afraid of being alone and am so stupid writing all this.This emptiness is eating me up.I feel like screaming but can't as if someone took my voice away from me.I am crying now but i just don't know the reason.My heart is hurting painfully but i can't do anything to get the pain to stop.

Awwww Akangirl. I'm really sorry and believe me, I know what you're going through. I wish there were some magic words that could be said to make the pain go away but there aren't any. All I can say is that time truly does heal but how long is different for all of us.
Just remember "the walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy."
You are a very beautiful woman and have an ENTIRE life time ahead of you. If you have a good friend you can talk to, let them know how and what you're feeling. The more you let your feelings out, the better you will feel. We'll all here for you!
What you really need is closure and I hope that one day you can find this man and get that, one way or the other. Until then, go ahead and scream, cry or laugh. Whatever you're feeling, just let it all out.
Chin up. Tomorrow is always better than yesterday!

I'm not kidding when I say I know what you mean Akangirl. I've been really hurt and felt the way you are feeling now twice in my life. After the first time, I jumped right into another relations for fear of being alone. When that one didn't work out, I went into "hiding" because I refused to be hurt like that again and was there for 10 years!
I just got into another relationship almost a year ago and to be honest, I know sometimes I make it hard for her because of my fear of being hurt again. What got me out of isolation was my mother (who passed away 2 years ago) came to me in a dream. I just wouldn't want to see you go through that at such a young age. Your "Mr Right" is out there, but take your time and find him (or let him find you). There's a really old saying that what don't kill you makes you stronger. Love hurts (alot) and sometimes it feels like it's just not worth it but I now believe God intended everyone to be with someone.
Cheers,
Ed

Sorry to hear that. I think you should try to hang out with your friends, that may drag you out of the bad mood. Lost a true love is a very bad experience, but we all should looking forward. May you will find you right guy soon. Remain in the heartbroken is not a good choice. Don't you think so?

Hi Akangirl. Me again. I was just on my facebook account and someone posted this:
"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone." Rose Kennedy
I think I would have to agree with that. I just wanted to share that with you.
Cheers,
Ed

hello akan,
I understand what you feel,as i've been to that situation before.
I am a kind of a person that when i love someone i always gave my all,everything and anything.
I always want my love to feel that i care and i am always there.
And i want to be cared and treated as important/precious as gem.
So,if i feel being ignored,it really hurts me...what more losing that someone then,how painful it is to think for a second.
But this is life,as they say,nothing is permanent but the word forever.(it will always be forever and ever)
Nothing is permanent but "constant change".
Move on,keep your head up high.
He is not your loss,but he lost you.
Smile and show the world you are the winner and he is the loser in this game called love.

I am so sorry to see you are going through this. I know the pain of losing someone you love and understand the feelings of emptiness. I hope you have some friends you can turn to and speak with about those feelings. You should consider seeing a counselor if you don't already. I hope things have gotten better for you. Good luck and feel better.

Dear friend, you are not the first one experiencing this. My ex left me over 30 years ago and it hurt but the worst part was that he treated me as if I was worth nothing during several years before that. It has taken many years to recover and so far I have not found any man who really loves and appreciates me enough to build a long lasting relationship that leads to marriage. But I am still alive, so who knows..
You are still young and can start again, but take my advice, look for someone who follows the Bible principles and loves God more than he loves you. And if you too love God and follow His principles, you can trust in each other. Trust is the key in all kinds of relationships. A person who is not reliable, is not worth our love.
Why not make a search with "look for new doors" (include the quotation marks)and you will find an article how to survive situations like the one you are in.
Wish you a great future with happiness, love and trust..

Well, maybe there is a possibility to clear out misunderstandings - now or in the future. Some things take time, so we have to be patient. If he is not interested in talking with you, then perhaps you should find someone else.. Up to you of course..
The God I am talking about is the only true God, the Almighty Father that I have learned to know through the Bible. He has helped me and many others, perhaps not the way we expected, but it has always been for our own good. If you learn to know Him, and follow His will, he can help you and make you strong in all kinds of circumstances you are in.
Just test and ask Him to help you to find the truth about Him, and you´ll see what happens.

Men are like busses. If you miss one, another will be along before you know it. You must decide what you value more. Your hurt now or all the good times you had. The reason you hurt so bad now is because you were getting too close to one who wasn't your true love. Love with your true love will be so much better. In time you will see this and be happy. So let's get up. Do some heavy exercise. This is no time to be moping around. True love shows up when you least expect it. Be ready.

Happens a lot of times. Its a phase of life , one has to go through without losing your hopes. If lose your hopes now , you will lose it all. Try to hold it up, no matter what happens. Get busy with your day to day activities which will distract you from thinking useless stuff.
I applied the same thing to myself. I had infact bruised the complete wrist part of my both hands.
I think you are a born optimist...only if your blood is B+ ! :)

Hey hey Akangirl, don't blame yourself that you share. It's the best you can do it. Don't keep it in yourself, because it's leading to depression and other health problems, so keep talking, if you don't have people who would share your sadness and stay with you for a while, stay here, with us and share with us.
It's normal if you feel like lost, lost in yourself or so... I know that feeling very good, when you are used to live and share your daily life with someone and you break up everything change. You don't know what to do with your time, you don't know what is right or wrong, i believe it's hard for you even to recognize yourself. Only sadness and dark feelings, but don't give up, please. You will move on, just you need some more time and the pain will be lower and lower, until the day when you will remind yourself about him and will smile.
Please keep us in touch, at the same time just make something, don't give your heart to the loneliness because it's not good.

What i was trying to say to you my dear girl, is find the power in yourself.
I think that will help you really a lot, because i did it with myself and it was very useful. Family, friends, love, everything is a part of our life at some time, the most important must be our own feelings and the feelings of the people who love us more than everyone else, without hurting us.

You are not "stupid" by typing this discussion, rather, it can be very helpful to get your thoughts and feelings out, no matter how it's done. The loss of someone you love is very painful and cause you to feel as if you're all alone in the world, but you are not.Many,many people can and do go through the things your experiencing and though you feel this way now, you have to believe and understand that it's only temporary and sooner or later , you will start to heal and see things in a different light.
Give yourself time to heal from this broken relationship, talk to friends, family, anyone who will listen,seek comfort from those who have gone through similar situations and you will see that you are never really alone, but it is how you feelthat's causing you to think this way.Take care

Sometimes i keep things bottled up inside me and when it starts hurting me i write it down.I feel like belonging to mylot family and people don't know each other still are very helping.This is the Best Community where we take care of each other.Its been more than two years still the wound is very fresh.Can't make my family feel sad and as for close friend i had one but none now.

You do have friends dear and they are right here on Mylot.you will find some of the most supportive and caring people here and all you need to do is reach out to them .also, you may not want to make your family"sad", but i'm sure they're already sad seeing you so down and depressed and would be more than willng to support and help you at this time.2 years is a long time to be feeling the way you do, but, loving someone that isn't around anymore, can still be heartbreaking and take a long time to heal. but, believe me you will come through this and who knows , maybe meet someone who can fill that void you feel in your life. i wish you the best,take care.

I havent experienced everything in life to say break ups are the worst thing you'll ever feel,everyone goes through them.Its hard when your future is stripped away,when all you feel is lonely.Here,the thing I always keep in my mind is that you must be prepared for what is to come at the start of any relationship.If someone tells you,they "need space",its an obvious sign that they don't want to be with you.As hard as that may sound,let them go.Dig down deep and find your pride and dignity and remember that YOU are worth a million bucks and if your partner can't see it...well that is his loss!!!!Keep busy,read,workout,get together with friends and by NO MEANS don't spend a precious second of your time obsessing about it.

Actually how you break up has different impact on different people.We loved each other a lot, but the long distance then misunderstanding then family problems came which eventually broke us apart.I bear him no ill but without him i am very lonely which sometimes breaks me down

Hi
Oh! really sorry to hear about that. The only man you ever loved-what happened? did you'l split? newayz they say 'when one door closes, ten others open, but we are so much depressed by closure of one door that we are in no mood to see the other doors open". that is live, you just have to take it in your stride and move ahead.

you are not alone, I feel like this too. Please excuse my bad spelling, but I woke up this morning and thought to myself how miserable my life feels right now. I feel depressed and lonely not only because i am unemployed at the moment and have not been able to attain my GED certificate. I feel your pain And I wish you the best and the only advice I can give you is, not to give up, Dont let sadness overcome your life because you have a bright future ahead of you. Well hope my advice helps a little. :)

Its quite mediocre for me to tell this but just be strong. We always feel alone once in awhile. Beat up your depression. Socialize with your friends. Find time to love yourself. And do not worry in writing this kind of stuff and posting it on the internet because you're just expressing yourself and it is better that way than dive yourself to nothingness. You shout, you scream, cry if you want to. Just let the emotions flow to you because it is all normal. After all the screaming and crying, you can able to face the world with less burden in you. Don't think of the lost love, think of the new one. Think of loving yourself and finding what makes you happy. ;)

I know it is hard and painful for you right now but you have to do something for yourself. Don't be alone if possible. I can suggest to do volunteering work like for the elderly or handicapped people or the sick. When you are with them, you will realize that you are more fortunate and the person who hurt you is not worth it. It is also true that time heals all wounds but now is important because you are hurting. Maybe you can try to change the way you think about him. Analyze him not you.

No,i can't believe you said that life has become without a purpose.There are so many things in life that you can make,achieve and discover that it would take you five life spans to see it all.Look around you if you have a family,that's not the only place you should be stuck for the rest of your life.There is a whole world to concure,so pack your baggage and go see the world :)
