I don't know how to be happy sometime because everytime I try to be happy something seems like it has to destroy it, I have a lot going in right now in my mind and I don't know how to deal with it I know that I might have to have some one pray over me sometime I feel that when you are going through alot I think that it means that your soul is in trouble you know, maybe I need someone to get rid of the demons that surround me in the name if Jesus I mean I need them to leave me alone and let me live my life in happiness and in glory, I pray to Jesus himself to let the harm that tries to harm me just let me be I don't need this right now you know, I have suffered and I know that I have but I'm tired. I want to fly above the drama and live ok and keep it moving. have any of you felt that way.

Hi walking2010, I guess some of us have undergone the same thing as what you are experiencing right now.Just don't lost hope my friend and always look on the brighter side of life.There are many things to be happy about in life.You must learn to accept who you are and what you are capable of. Life is a continuous struggle that's why it's interesting.You should go out with friends and have fun.Don't make it to hard for yourself.

Yes, we all are given challenges to deal with in our life.Just look on the positive side because God will never never abandon us, just turn to Him if you think you are failing.Wish you all the best my friend.

Hi, I think you are right with your decision about the person. Never trust anyone unknown on the internet. You should have a friend ship with the person first who is trying to exchange or want money from you. It is okay to help people but the one you are talking about is a scam and you will not help him/her but will get cheated.

I just realized that I posted on the wrong discussion here. I just read another discussion and posted the response over here, a mistake from me. Coming to your point I think it is easy to be happy once you are happy with yourself. Do what you really love to do and soon you will feel contented with yourself. You would love your self more than ever before and surely you will become a more happy person.

I am sufferer of the same pain. Whenever I smile,a feeling is always there in my mind that may be I am smiling for the last time. Sometimes I do feel that if I could managed to run away from the known society that may would give me mental peace. I have lost a very close person in my life and from then people started to exploit me and mt father.If I just copy your comments and paste it then I would have make no difference.When I read it I felt that you are explaining my life.you know something!whenever I trusted someone he/she is the 1st one to do back stabbing.In due course of time I trusted someone more than myself.But very recently the person also left me for ever.If by any means I got my mom back I would be the happiest person in this world. At least I would have got a solder to cry, a lap to take rest. Today what I need is a shelter. A person who can understand me.Or else I need none. I am happy with my father.I am tired of everything. I am tired of getting hurt by the people whom I trusted the most.

I know how you feel because when we are down and out and we feel like we have no one to talk to we feel that we can trust a certain person because we let our guard down and when we do that we let the wrong people in and then we are talked about, then they try to come back and say sorry for this and that, then they expect for you to forgive them after they knew what they where doing in the first place. So I know all about being stabbed in the back. Life is crazy sometime you know we don't know whether we are coming or going you know I guess we carry the hurt after we have been so much and then it seems as if it has not gotten no better.

Always try to see the positive things in life. Always look on the bright side of life and you will see happiness. It's all in the mind. I think over worrying is a self inflicted thing. It is natural for human beings to have that kind of feeling. However, in my opinion, having that kind of feeling at prolonged time is just self inflicted pain. I suggest that you try to relax and clear yourself of negative thoughts.

It sounds like an anxiety/depression issue. Everyone goes through this at some point in their lives. There could be something your doctor can help you with. Having a belief can sometimes help people through tough times but sometimes other types of help is needed. Therapy may help too and if your religious then you might want to find a therapist with the same religious beliefs. I was raised Catholic and always worrying that I was doing something wrong made the anxiety/depression worse. Also sometimes taking an outside view can help. Imagine you know someone else having the same problems... What advice would you give them?

I guess the things that I go through will be a testimony for someone else that is going through what i went through.

Life can be complicated and you can't always be happy all of the time. You might want to, but that's not always possible. However, try not to let it get to you to the point you're suffering from depression. It's simply not healthy. And, believe me not worth it. It can be so easy not to think of anything but bad, but remember everyone goes through rough patches. The key is to find something positive to focous on. Everyone has something that makes them smile, you're no different. I'm sure you've got someone out there who cares about you. There is something out there that's worth smiling about, you just have to find it and hang onto it. Trust me on this one. I have a lot going against me, but I find something to keep me going... to keep me happy. I'm sure you can too.

When I was a kid, I thought life would be easier but it's now. The simpliest thing we want in life is to be happy but it's the hardest to attain. Just hold and keep on going. Life is hard but we have to be strongYou can do it.

Thanks I know when we where kids everything seemed so easy then I guess because you had less to maintain, but then there were times when we thought cetain things would not go away I guess just like now its just different things that we want now.

Happiness is hard to attain. It sounds like you feel tortured. Keep pouring your feelings out here on myLot, or in journals, or talk to a minister, or trusted friends, and yes pray. Don't bottle your feelings up until they feel insurmountable. Sometimes you have to start with the simple things in life that make you feel good. Do you enjoy exercising, or taking walks, listening to music, reading a good book, enjoying a nice cup of tea, a bubble bath what? Find what makes you happy and as long as it doesn't hurt others, do it often.

LOL thanks for your response.

Hi, there! I'm worried with you upon reading your posting. Try to be optimistic as much as you can. :) Happiness depends on how people react on the situation they are on. Don't think too much on your problems in life. Try to enjoy every minute of an hour because you can't go back in time. Don't waste your time being lonely and sad. Try to be happy and enjoy life! It's great! :)
