i felt so alone, don't know what to do...my mind is full of questions that keeps on giving me headache everyday...i wanna cry to let this feeling explode and somehow ease the pain i feel inside, i wanna go away...away from this life that is full of difficulties and suffering... i know that what i feel is not right,but i can't help it, i really felt that i am alone in facing this life that i don't even know what is really happening to me...the things i want is very much far from me...and i don't think that time will come that everything would be easy for me.

They feelings of loneliness and emptiness are not very good feelings at all. You do have to try to develop new interests and try to keep busy as much as possible. Doing so may spark up some new interests and not to think too much. Involve yourself in a new hobby and venture out a bit with others. Not sure if you utilize prayer but prayer for me provide a calming effect and allow me to be a bit more positive. I do wish you well and hope that this time shall pass for you.

Good advice! Many times when all seemed hopeless and I couldn't find anything positive to hold on to, I was comforted just to say to myself: "This, too, shall pass." Then I would remind myself of times in the past when I was so hurt, or something was so difficult that I thought I could never live through it, yet here I am. Somehow, we make it through. Have faith in that even when it seems there is nothing left to have faith in. Have faith in yourself.

I think it's great to cry to put all that out, but after that, half a hour, two hours later? It's important to come back to the center, and that means be balanced. Leaving this life it's not an option, you are going to suffer even more, the spirit keeps walking and living the same feelings, we never stop existing. Even for those who doesn't believe in that I wouldn't bet my life on it you know. Time heals everything, when thinking is hurting you, try to stop thinking and just feeling, doing anything you love, just being you know?

Wow! This is exactly what i'm feeling right now, so alone and so lonely. But i am luckier than you because i have my son and my husband with me. So today, i told my son never to leave me alone because i am troubled and feel sad. I am not sure what i would do if my son is not on my side right now. Please don't forget to pray and ask God to help you on this one if you believe in HIm. I hope you will be fine.

I do not believe anyone can ever be alone ... we have ourselves and God, so there will never be alone. We feel alone when we are sad when we are wronged or injured heart ... but otherwise we would not be alone ... I have to admit that if I had a few friends with me I would not be anything but true friends who you beat the door with a burnt sugar cream or a comedy that we see together, a shoulder to cry if you need ... Indeed there is loneliness due to our need to be whole, to love and be loved, two halves that complete harmony .... and no matter how well I'd feel comfortable and do not bother me one that does not fall heavy hand has anyone with me when I sleep, nobody bothers me peace and I do not steal from the time you spend doing what I do like to do .... moments of solitude I would like it to me to choose from, and to have, though, my middle ...

Feeling alone can make life seem so hard and not worthwhile. The great news is that you always have the power within you to change it. You don't anything outside of yourself to make the changes inside you. It seems you are filled with troubled thoughts; trying replacing them. When you have a troubled thought, make a plan to do some type of action - anything from going for a walk, to looking at pictures from a happy time, or to listening to music that is uplifting - to make you feel better. Sometimes we act based on how we feel; when that isn't working it is sometimes a better choice to do the action first, and then the feelings will follow. Also, to help change your perspective and focus on what is wrong, a gratitude journal might help bring a more positive light in your life. Have you heard about "the Secret?" What you focus on is what you bring into your life, like a magnet. Think about what you do want, and believe it is possible, instead of focusing on your difficulties and what you don't want. Remember, nothing worth having comes easy. Henry David Thoreau said, "If you have built castles in the air, do not be disheartened -- that is where they should be; now put foundations under them." Don't be so overwhelmed with your goals/wants/needs/dreams/hopes seeming so far away from you. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. ONE. You can do that. Each day, one step. Make a plan, and each day do one thing that brings you closer to the life you want. One step is all you need to do; now that isn't too hard, is it?

Sometimes I felt that loneliness you've also experienced, specially when there is a time that I did not accomplish one goal that I am aiming to do. One thing that usually do when that time comes, I close my eyes and pray to God sincerely and try to fight for that feeling of loneliness, and good tell you that it works. It also help make yourself busy, try to find out something that could make you feel comfortable.

Hey anneish, we all have times like that but I think you should find someone you can have a talk with. Whenever I feel that way I always turn to my best friends or my sister and it makes me feel good getting everything off my chest. Life may have it's difficulties and sufferings but there are happiness and love too. You have to go find them. Life is difficult I know, and the things I want in life is many years away too. But it doesn't worry me coz I'm willing to work hard for it. I don't care how far my dreams are as long as I have the trust in myself that I'll reach it someday. I hope you get better soon. Have a talk with someone. You'll feel great. good luck ^^
