There are times in ones life that we feel being alone and no one to turn to and would want to give up. How are you coping up when this situation arises? What are your motivation to keep on going?

There are several different things I do, not necessarily during the same period. One thing I'll do is take a walk and talk with God, enjoy the scenery. At other times I'll put on some uplifting music, something you can dance to or clean to. Also I may write in my journal about how I'm feeling and what I can do to get over it. And other times I'll start working on one of my hobbies. Hope this helps.

Thanks Violann. Writing in a journal or in a diary is one of the few things that I also do most especially during the times of uncertainty.

Always remeberhat whatever you bear is never thlast and you should always keep in mind that you have people who loves and supports you and will always be with you. This is what i keep in mind nd it keeps me going. Knowing that i am valued and needed makes me happy. It mkes me want to hold on and be strong.

I've been faced with this feeling many times and can say I've actually tried the no go, give it up approach only to find that there are some very important discoveries to be made with this. Some things can not be saved and require abandonment however giving it up for our own self esteem will also bring nothing that is no change what - so - ever. Anything, any attempt to do something constructive therefore is always more beneficial. Hope this helps in some small way.

Every day is a challenge for us. Life is full of constant worries and challenges. We have to look at it as a challenge and deal with it positively. There is no point of giving up so easily as it will only destroy our self-belief and ability to lead a meaningful life. My motivations are my ability to take up the challenges that life throws at me.

When I am single I always feel alone and want to give up with my life, most of the time I drink and hang out with friends but after that I still feel emptiness in my heart and soul. Before when I feel alone I just watched movies or even cry alone until I fall asleep. Now that I am married there are times that I feel alone especially when my husband is on business trip I just pray and call him to makes me feel better and try to keep myself busy in cooking.
