I have been feeling sad and alone alot lately and i don't know what to do to change that.I don't feel like meeting with friends and i don't have anyone special in my life that i could spend time with apart from family. I wake up with the same routine everyday and this is getting old.I am turning thirty in just twenty days and this makes matters even worst because i have not accomplished any of my goals.Life sucks for me right now and i can't seem to find a solution.Monday i was so down i cried until my head ached.This isn't the life i want and it's just taking its toll on me. I am starting to feel stressed and depressed and i can't bare the pain of loneliness anymore.I can't stand another year like this and really hope things change soon because honestly i don't know what i will do. I am in need of some good advice from you guys.Help please....

When there c0mes your dull m0ment, just let it be and so0n it will be g0ne. Your age d0esn't define your fulfillment but you have to achieve s0mething you desire. Best of luck to y0u.

I'm so sorry to hear your so sad and depressed. I can empthasize with you and the way your feeling. Living a life and feeling that this is not how you want your life to be is very depressing. Not accomplishing the goals that we set for ourselves makes us discouraged as well. I've lately been reaccessing my life goals and deciding what things I want to accomplish. I encourage you to set a side time and set goals for yourself and how to attain them. Set goals in every area of your life that you feel dissatisfied with. I encourage you to try and meet someone special too :). Go places where a nice gentleman may be found. Perhaps your church, another church or some local social place like Eagles or something. You can look up free penpal sites and get to know someone through letters. (You can use a p.o. box for this, that 's how I do it because it's more comfortable that way). Your life can be better, and the year to come I hope it will. Strive to be positvie and really work hard to reach your goals. I strongly urge you to listen to Jack Canfield's the success principles cd ( can get from library). It is very motivating. Don't give up or lose hope. Find happiness in your new life!

It is always dark before the dawn. Life can seem to have its ups and downs like a mountain range. You are just coming up to age 30 years old so why not make the next 10 years happy? I suggest that you write a list of things you want to accomplish and tick these off as you do them. I moved to the area that I live in five and a half years ago. This year in the spring, summer and autumn I am going to go to one of the nearby places that I have wanted to go to but haven't yet done so. In March I took my kids to Exeter on a train. We had a look at the old buildings and the ornate looking cathedral. Tomorrow we will be going to a bird reserve called Slim Bridge. It makes me feel quite excited about this day time out. Maybe you could think of joining an on-line dating service to try to find someone special. Then you would have a person that you care about they care about you. Then you could go out with that lovely person. I suggest you join a group that do something you are interested in like walking, cycling, a foreign language class or do an educational qualification. I learned to drive and it was last year that I passed my practical driving test. I suggest you on a relaxing vacation to a cheap destination. Good luck.

First of all ,I think you should kick your negitive thoughts away ,for they affect your thinking ,feelings and even the habits every day.You know ,when you get up every morning ,sunshine will bring the brightness to your life.When your heart is filled with sunshine ,you will think positively ,showing your self-confidence ,though you are still facing all kinds of pressure from life.What's more ,no matter what you think of life ,life will go on .Thus ,think of life happily.Happy mylotting!

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling down and sad. 30 my dear is still very young so I would suggest that you begin a new leaf in life. Take sometime and write down what you would like to do in life and what has not been working thus far. Begin making some plans as to how you can change somethings. Do not be disappointed if you have not accomplished some of them, look at them as unfinished projects that you need to continue to work on. Set some mental dates as to when you want some to be accomplished. As you accomplish some of them restructure your list to continue to visualize what still needs to be done. Try really hard to entertain with friends, I know that the feeling of being sad and down sort of does not allow you to want to go with friends but try a little, a little time away from thinking about what needs to be done and or what has not been done will do some good. Best of luck and **Cheers** to the new you!

I feel so sorry about your sadness. It is quite a hard time for you now because everything seems not good. But you should not give yourself up and lose confidence. Everyday is new, and there always is something ahead which is meaningful for you. To find something you are interested in, to spend some time with friends and chat with them, you will figure out that the world is not as dull as you think. Be optimistic! Hope that will help you a lot.

frienship4lyfe,your not alone as I am also in the same situation now but just think that life is like that,we need to survive and we need to make every single time interesting,there are some folks who don't have hands,feet,and so on but they still manage to be happy.Set a goal in your life,I know this is not easy to say since I do experience how do you feel but as much as possible,I try to not think about problems around as it will make you stress and sick which is not really good at all.List something that interest you and try going with it.Hope this helps.

Maybe, that's the effect of knowing that your birthday is coming near. Sometimes, pending birthdays either make us feel excited or gloomy. Well, what I can advice you to do is think of something achievable that you think you can do with a little effort before your birthday comes. Like watch a movie you've never dared to watch or something like go out with friends you haven't gotten in touch with for a long time. I know you feel like you don't want to do it but try challenging yourself. Whether it's a small thing or a big one, you will feel a little bit fulfilled even just a little bit when your birthday comes.

Well first of all don't feel sad( it makes me sad too) I know it sucks right Now but it is ok. Everythin is gonna be ok and trust me cry helps a lot. We can feel better after and keep living. Well you should make little goals in your life and start from there. You are not old so don't worry about age. It is a other case of your life and it is gonna be great. Try change. I don't know do something different like go to the gym, meet new friends or your older friends, read differents book or try some activity. The life is amazing and the fact that right know you are not happy means that so really good is gonna happen! Love yourself and be happy
