I was expecting my Valentine's day to be special and also my birthday, but then things didn't turn out as i expected and i got so broken hearted that my brain and my body wasn't functioning well anymore. I thought it would come to an end and that everything would be fine, but then my depression just got worse and i can't seem to smile anymore. I know how to solve this problem actually but then I need to decide for something that would hurt me more than i can imagine. I have never felt like this before and it's just too difficult for me to handle. Life is really crazy, one moment i'm oh so happy and the next i was crying.

Well having expectation for a day to be like the most ever beautiful happy day! I have had a Valentine day it happened the 13-14 th of February 2003, which I treasure in my heart and soul as my most special treasure. It was magical and romantic. The feelings that were between him and me was one of a kind. Our emotions of love flow free like essence of Divine love as we were twin souls one soul in two human bodies. I could feel his heart beats in my body, even when it was thousands of miles between us. He lives in the USA and I live in Sweden. Still we were like one soul in two bodies talking and watching one another over the webcam and talking on audio chat. He wrote me words of love. It was a priceless time. It's treasure in my soul.

HI toni.... Dont be so sentiment. WHere there is a sunset... there is a sunrise too. Earnest Hemingway said....man can be destroyed but not defeated. Depression is very bad as it hampers on your daily routine along with health. Take care.

Just remember that old saying that life is just like a wheel.. one day your laughing, the next you'll be crying, but be sure that in a couple of days you'll be laughing again... You just need to learn how to pick yourself up and move on.. cause you know nobody else can help you more but yourself. Start with a smile and all others will follow.

Hi toni, A belated happy birthday. Now, coming to the discussion, this might sound philosophical but the way I have learned to cope up with these issues is - Dont expect. 99% of our relationships get sour because we expect and when they fail, it hurts. I know this is not a solution to your problem but this is what can become useful if implemented.

i agree with you but then when we love somebody we want them to expect from us and believe that we can please them and we try to do that. Most men not all, usually ignores the women when they are too confident that their women are head over heels in love with them. Thanks for the birthday greeting and hug!

The hype surrounding Valentine's day has made is somewhat of a dreaded stressful event for lovers as opposed to the celebration of being in love. I still remember wishing my class-teacher happy valentine's day 10 years ago when i was in sixth grade. She smiled and asked me if i knew the significance of valentine's day, and I replied "Yes ma'am, it is a day to express affection towards people you like and care for." Now, I am 21 and have a boyfriend, whose birthday is on 14th Feb. :) He happens to have a huge circle of friends, of which I am not a part of. This year, I told him a day before his birthday(and valentine's day) that he could give his friends a treat and that there is no obligation whatsoever to meet me. Of course, I didn't mean it literally but being a guy he took it word for word, and went out with all his friends for the whole day, leaving me feeling alone and desolated. He made up for it later, but the moment was lost. So I can understand a little bit of what you feel. Days of celebration like Valentine's day, Friendship Day and the like have started being more of a burdensome obligation instead of promoting unabashed emotions. The best you can do is try to understand that 14th Feb is a day as special as any other day. What more, any day of the year can bring you a special someone or give you a special time. :)

Yes you are right but good for you that he was able to make it up to you. IN my case he doesn't have any thing planned to make it up for me and i just felt so unimportant.

hello toni, If you let sadness fills within you,you will surely suffer the consequences of depression. Try to overcome your sadness and divert your mind/thinking to other things. Whenever you feel sad/lonely,go out and go to crowded places with friends. Never let the sorrow drowned you,you need to help yourself. No one can help you,but yourself alone. No matter how other people around you make you happy,or help you to overcome your sadness,if you will not cooperate then,everything will be useless. So,it's all yourself who can help you... Life is short..do not waste your time.

Thank you for the concern. The problem is my friends are all too busy right now and i stay at home most of the day which makes it worse. But maybe tomorrow i will try to go and relax in a spa to get rid of my worries.

Our thoughts will fly in colours. Our thoughts on our loved ones are in heights. We are giving full important to them only(equal with heaven). But unfortunately, the opposite person(our loved one) is thinking about other. They are not considered our feelings. It is the most PAINFUL SITUATION, I am praying the god that "please give this situation to my enemies also...my god". Friend, please don't upset. please smile for me.

You must be suffering real bad or else you wouldn't be that upset. I presume it to be bad love relationship. You are in the seventh heaven when everything goes well, When it doesn't you are in a gloom. Whatever the problem you may be I can assure you one thing no problem can be bigger than life itself and the happenings like this only make the life more interesting otherwise it would have been a boring affair. Engage yourself in something interesting and you will overcome the trauma you are facing. God bless you and give courage to get over this.

Thank you so much for this sound advice. I wish that this phase would just go fast and won't stay long enough to ruin me. I really want to get over it as fast as i can and really hoping to find that smile on my face again.
