I am trying to enjoy life, trying to be happy even I still feel the pain.

A pleasant day Fellow Mylotters, Last week, I just told myself that I want to leave my sad life. Since a lot of unhappy things are happening to me and I always end up in crying. And I have told myself that I don't deserved this anymore. What I deserve is a true happiness. A smile that can uplift my heart and soul. A smile that can erase the bad memories that really brought a pain to me. That after giving my all, after giving my best, the family whom I loved most, are the guys who are hurting me now. And it is really painful since I cannot fight them back since they are the loved of my life. So, now, I am trying to pick my pieces, trying to enjoy life on my own. Trying to be happy even I still feel the pain.

I think I also gone through the same road as yours. Though it's hurting me, I really can't just abandon my family because I know they are expecting too much from me. I just try to do what I have to do and leave everything to God.

good day vijayroy, actually its not all my family members. it is only my brother who really involved in this but, its like a chain reaction. my mother cannot arranged it, as she does not want to interfere with us. so even if she knows that my brother has done wrong, she will just do nothing on it. same thing with my two sisters. as a result, my brother thinks that what he is doing is really right. and he keeps doing same thing which is really annoying.

well that sounds like my situation here at times. nothing my brother does is ever wrong ( most of the time, but today i told my mother about his yelling at the fios rep on the phone when i called for help and she was actually agreeing with me that he is not so good with people in this way but also she said things like we all that way at some point, etc which to me is like sticking up for him--she does this all the time and t bothers me while she critiques me or dad alot of time and almost never sticks up for us when we should have the same treatment! Let me tell you it will never change either unless you all get therapy which is probably out of the question as I know these 'brother' types. Mine is one with a bad temper who does nothing to improve himself outside of work.

We must try to be as happy as we can with what we have. And not all the people that should be close to us respond as we wish. Turn your eyes to the ones that smile at you and to the ones that give you a hand when in need. Those are your real family, whether there are blood ties or not.

It is very difficult for me feel happy if have lots of pain. Now these days is not good for me because all family members are falling in ill one by one. Hospital bill is increasing much more. I cant understand how can handle this situation. My stomach is paining more.

That's true. Showing a smile even though you feel the pain inside makes you feel more better because I always do that all the time. Even though I feel down sometimes, I try to smile and later I feel better. I can do everything by saying the words : "I can do it!". I believe that smiling makes you feel better especially if you do it all the time and it also makes you look beautiful.

I went through this a few years back. First it was family members. I KNEW in my heart that I didn't deserve that kind of pain, so I told them to forget that I was alive and to stop calling. I've seen them at various family functions, but I just ignore their presence. Then it was a group of so-called friends as well as my ex boyfriend. After one too many incidents with the friends, I just shut them out. I had become the butt of their jokes one to many times, and I was just sick of the entire situation. And when my boyfriend stopped calling, I mourned it for a few weeks, then got on with my life. It wasn't easy, but it worked for me. I know it's hard, but sometimes you just need to let go of the negativity in your life. You know you deserve more, so begin by eliminating the unhappiness. Only YOU can make you happy. I know everyone says family always has your back, but it's not always true. You CAN rise above it, but only if you shed the weight of your unhappiness. Good luck and godspeed!

Hi. I have been there many tines and for the same reasons. Then things get better for awhile and something happens again. I don't understand the people around me at times, they are so different than other people but so am I at times, just not as mean and invasive, sloppy and dirty, demanding, insulting, not so bright, thoughtless, you name it. I'm the one who has to put up with it all though. I always feel like it's unfair. I do think talking to some one will help you though, please don't give up. There are people who love you and really care even if you don't see them out there, even if it's just someone on the internet like your mylot friends.

Hi there friend.. Don't feel down & depressed, life is beautiful. Life is too short for feeling depressed, enjoy very moment you get 'cos b4 u kno' it those moments will be gone & u'll regret that u didn't fully enjoy them... One of the responses here talked abt a movie - "Secret".. I haven't seen the movie but I've read the book by Rhonda Byrne a lot of times. It is an uplifting book. I recommend reading that book if u ever get a copy of it in your library or in a bookstore.. I have been working on the points the author has touched upon in the book & its giving results. They are happening slowly but surely... So, airasheila, pick yourself off of the ground & make the best of your life... Take care, friend... :)

hi airasheila! In everything, there is a purpose, we might not know or understand it but God had planned something better for you. Time heals. Talk it out with friends. Pur it out to God. You are blessed!
