Hi Salma07, I've been there in that kind situation and I know it was because I had problem and I feel depressed with my situation. I think you need to find out which problem that affected you the most that make you feel like you dont know who you are anymore. When Im feeling down, i usually take time to go for a short vacation for relaxation it doesnt mean we have to to travel overseas or somewhere faraway, even just going to a cottage near my hometown and have time for myself is more than enough or when I really dont have money I would just go to the tourism area in my town and I pretend myself as a tourist, I will use public bus then walk on the street market, buy souvenir as if Im a real tourist. It help me to refresh my mind and then I can think clearly how to solve my problem. If you asked me what is my favorite book to motivate me, I like reading "chicken soup" books we can read people's experience in dealing life. Or you just can browse on mylot, many people sharing their experience and life's stories and how they deal with their problem. I think you dont have to visit a professional, trust yourself that you can solve every problem that you have, there is no problem without solution. You can talk about your problem here on mylot, and your mylot family will be happy to try to help you and give advice regarding to your problem.

Now I myself have gone through many times. I do believe that isolation for a short period of time is okay. Everyone needs time alone to isolate, just make sure you stay in isolation for to long. As well as far as the meditation, I would suggest that you listen to solfeggio harmonics. Another thing that I would suggest is some form of exercise. Although the best ththing that I can suggest is too take the time too figure out what it is that caused you to reach the point where you could not handle things calmly. From there try to figure out ways that you can figure out how to handle it more calmly. Now in the end if you cannot figure out how to calmly.

Calm yourself down, and that is psychological problem of your own at the moment. You can solve it yourself I believe. I used to be lazy, and not wanting to do anything else. But after a deep thought, or meditation, I think that if I keep going on like this, I never will become the person I want to be, and I will never be able to do anything at all. So, a moment of meditation might help.

hi salma, looking back throught some of your previous, it looks like you are a writer of some sort. I can not imagine being bored or at the end of your world...You should never depend on others to fulfill your life... You need to reevaluate your position and go from there.Life is not always fair so we as individuals need to do whatever is is to make our lives worth living. Get it together, everything will be alright once you get your priorties in check... Good luck to you......

i am also like that. Mostly, i just sleep or listen to a good music or stay in a quiet place then, *poof! i am me again. try it, maybe it'll help. maybe you are just tired or have problems.

First, go relaxed yourself, remember Life is a series of choices you can't undo what you've done that you don't liked. if you have any problem, always don't look to it negatively sometimes think on it's positive side. Actually i already experienced that before it's just that it maybe worst (don't want to tell it though), but things that i usually do are: going out with my friends (when i'am with them all of my problem goes away), i read manga or watch anime like Gintama since it's a comedy one but will give you series of quotes that can be applied in real one and when this anime comes to serious episode, it really rocks. Just remember the real you and try to build up yourself piece by piece.

Focus on just you for a day or two! If that doesn't calm you down seek help with a good friend or family member or someone you feel close to that you can talk about things with and trust! If that doesn't work I would seek the help of a professional. Maybe there is just a lot of stress in your life and you are going through a hard time

maybe you are just so stressed out with a certain problem.. that you can't handle all of the other new problems coming.. That is happening to me too. I feel very impatient with my parents because i have this big problem at school that will be over this week. I hoe i return to normal next week.

Hello, salma07. I am sorry to hear about what is happening to you. I will ask that you do not cut yourself off from family. I did that and it is not good. They are your best support net. I know that once you get back out with them, you will feel much better. I also suggest getting involved in activities that include people who are less fortunate than yourself. Helping someone is always a wonderful way to lift spirits. Just volunteer at a church, or someplace you feel comfortable. Make every effort to surround yourself with positive people who you may or may not know. Go and buy that special thing you have been wanting to get, but have put it off. Just dont over spend. Just smile for no reason, and hug your family for no reason, and sooner than you think, things will get better. I hope you get through this rough patch in your life soon. Plus, maybe someone here will inspire you to be happy enough to come back and tell us how wonderful you feel!!!
