Did you realize that there are times where you already give your best and your best wasn't good enough? Friends you trusted, betrayed you. Neighbors you thought were good, only you realized that they backstabbed you. Everything turns into mess. You felt that you are alone though many people sorrounds you but it seems like no one wants to help. You can't turn to any of your family members 'cause they can't be trusted and will just laugh at you. You are totally down but nobody sees and care for it. What you gonna do?

I don't think our best have to do with the people that surrounds us. But sadly we can't stop our bad experiences we go through in life like you said with neighbors,family,friends etc. If I go through a experienced like the one you mentioned here i wouldn't feel down... You know why.. Because firstly i wouldn't think it wasn't good enough, it's actually something good. Why good... because you are learning who you can trust, who are real friends and who are there for you.
I rather know who are my true friends or my good neighbors than living in a world where i think everyone is a good person with me. This is life, and i know it can be hard if you past through this, but life is about learning who are your real people.

For me, I do have a great influence for people around me. Maybe because I'm so sensitive and can't stand when people dislike me. Worst, when sometimes I wanted revenge for people who does bad stuff towards me. It's just a thought for revenge though but still I feel bad. Good point also 'cause we will know the real friends.

There are really times when we feel really down and feels like we've already given our all but still failed. I guess we should move on with life. It doesn't have to stop there. We should learn from the mistakes we've made and move forward with life.

Oh that feeling of not being good enough for those you feel the closest to.. Oh I know that feeling. I don't know what answers are out there for this. I do know don't allow it to drag you down any further. I have and it isn't a good place to be. You need to see in yourself that you are worth it to be.
When you wake up in the morning, look in the mirro and say, I am worth it.

You just have to learn to take care for yourself. To handle your problems on your own and depend on others as little as possible.

That's pretty much the thought of someone who's in a state of depression... I am not sure about it but I have been in a situation like that. When everything turns out so bad and all problems all came up suddenly. 'THough I realized I haven;t done anything wrong but why such things has to happen.
If you think that no one is there to listen and help you, turn to God and I'm sure He has all the time in the world to enlighten you. Maybe you are just thinking that no one cares for you, but I'm pretty sure someone wants to help you and listen to all your problems.

You are right. I'm still in the state of depression til now. I always have this flashback for the bad things that happen.
Wish God will come down from heaven and talk to me. I really need him
I don't know I can't find any for now and hope I can find even just one soon.

Good evening dear mylloter friend Jenith , hmmm after finishing reading your discussion i sunddenly without wanting found myself thinking about the past times when i used to have a really huuge amount of friends and people whom i thought they liked me for myself , but it did not took long to see their real intent , but one of the worst its that tghe blackest time in my top three of been stabbed in the back , the Number One positione goes no one else but the Unthinkable familly COUSIN , what was even worse it is that we were like BROTHERS and i loved him more then i loved my sister , i used to prefer not to eat so he cann eat , i've given him all my trust , not talking about all the times i was borrowing him money that i never saw back , i never cared about that , i've managed to pull a string and i've brought him to work with me in Belgium , and only after two weeks he quit and went back to Roumania and stopped to my fiancee house , what i later found out from he's step brother was that he saw my fiancee coming out of my he's step brother room at five am in the morning , and two nights back , he wanted to enter and shower and he entered the bathroom where he found surprised my cousin in a shower towel , and my Fiancee showering in the same time.
So even at the present time i dont talk and dont even want to see my cousin , thats how hard it hurt.
I wish you a great evening dear friend.

when i am feeling as down as what you described, my faith in God gets stronger. i go to Him and just lay down all that i feel and pray that He give me a clearer mind on what i should do.
then slowly, i find the path as to what i should do. i do not stay with people who are negative. never. they will pull you down.
you need to trust family. nobody you can trust but family, thats what the saying goes, and i find it to be true.

God really helps even if we can't see him. What I did before when I was not in the mood and something is bothering me is I went to the church and there's a part there where you can meditate without disturbance from anyone and also the tabernacle is present. But I can't do that for now 'cause my hubby will always ask where I go every time I go out the house and I don't want to tell him that I need to meditate and pray 'cause most of the time he's the reason for all my pains. If only, to put my life an end is good in the eyes of GOd I would definitely do that but sometimes I feel pity to my son. He is the only reason why I need to work on this pain and hardships in life. I need to think positively and always said to myself that "There's a reason for all of this".

If you've already gave it a hundred percent, try giving a hundred and ten or two hundred. Most of the time the problem originates from the mind. We all have limits when it comes to physicality but the mind also contributes greatly to one's success. If a person's mind is well-routed to his goals, his limiting beliefs will shatter into pieces and he'll be catapulted to success with almost minimal effort. If it's the other way around, all he will formulate are reasons for him to quit his goals and pursue another one.

That's a pretty tricky question here. If I gave it my all and people continue to not appreciate me and simply laugh at me, then what kind of people are they? If friends are doing that to me and expect more of me, they're not my friends. Not everyone is perfect and everyone has different limits. We can't expect a person to come up to your expectations. Sometimes I have disappointed myself several times when I have given my best but received very appalling results. There's no point in being all depressed about it or else you won't get anywhere. Life is all about mistakes and you need to help yourself improve. If that was the best you could do, then find something that you know your potential can handle. Don't push yourself too much or else you'll stress yourself out.
