I Miss Myself

hello amiga Welcome back and I'm glad to see you :) I am glad that you're back ,but honestly, I feel a little bit of sadness while reading your post here. Yes, I can relate very much with this post. I have been to the most down moment of my life- I know how does it feels like losing ourself. I lost my confidence and I lock myself in a world that only me knows what kind of world did I build as my own. It takes time before I realize that- why I need to punish myself, why do I have to suffer like this. That was the time I come out of my shell and challenge the real world that I am stronger than anyone thought I could be. Now I am happy that I am back- with a new me- much stronger and mature than the old one. The first step is always the hardest. The transition period takes time...but no one can help you but yourself alone. So hold on- believe in yourself and you will succeed. And I am sure you can my dear...don't let anyone or anybody to let you down Have a great day and Happy Holiday

I don't know how you manage to miss your self, i assume it must be a horrible feeling to have miss yourself as i have never have that experience in my entire life. I really hope you get to find yourself back sooner so that you can stop the sadness and negativity fill within you. Or may be you need to work a bit harder to get it back so that what had been happening to you so far can be reversed., or an inspiring story coming forward now for you to bring some of your lost confidence so you can bring yourself back again.

You definitely speak for most people nowadays.It is such a common thing to see.We miss ourselves in society and couldn't find our right position in it.Just be real you and make yourself happy.That's what your simple life suppose to be.

umh...i am still myself...because i really don't want to live as if i am not myself. My ex- used to want i am different...look like his ex-, i have that feeling, since he always blame this that...finally i decided the love must be broken since i can't change to be another person who he wishes...

Hello there ckyera! This sounds like me talking to myself. All the words are exactly my thoughts1 I even thought I wrote this, . There are really downtimes days in our lives. I for one is experiencing the same. Sometimes, I even don't know what life is all about! I just go on with the flow. I am not religious but it will help if you will pray. Prayer works! I am doing it.

Mainly women always take care of others. Family, friends, animals, etc. They are still raised like that. If you can't do that you are a bad person, selfish. But the thing is if you are not able to take care of yourself, to love yourself, to be yourself, to pamper yourself you can never do the same for someone else. Also... if you are able to be with you, you will never feel lonesome anymore. It's hard working to discover who you really are, not the person people tried to raise you or force you into (society for example but also education). You will find yourself if you are willing to be with you, to comfort yourself, to set your own goals and go for it.

Hey ckyera, I feel this sometimes too because of something has changed in your life, like a job you do not like, some friends that left you or family who gone away. In this stage, I always pray and try to talk to people about what is my problem, like what are the bad things you encounter in the office, you may walk your dog to park if you want, they are lovely. But if you keep on thinking this way, you will be depressed and lose your confidence. The voices in your head is right, you must speak out what is bothering in your mind. Lovely, goodluck!

I do misses myself.. now that I am a mother sometimes I miss being me.. doing my own staff without any reservations,. Being a mother is a 24/7 hour job so i rarely have time for my self though it is rewarding still somtimes you will feel that you miss yourself..

I was happy finding a good and high paying job. Whew, who would think that a graduate from a government University will land a job in one of the most prestigious schools in the Philippines, an exclusive school for girls. It was glorious years. Until the new management run the school, and it came to a point that, I was beginning to feel that I am losing myself already. I was like a zombie, just working for the money. Report for work in the morning, then go home after if it is time to go home. Everyday is just like that. No more excitement no more looking forward, just dragging myself into it. No more self satisfaction, my self confidence stepped on and I had a very low self esteem. I was not appreciated and my effort was just like an air passing by. I thought to myself, no.. I am worth what you thought I am not. If you don't like me, then I won't be pushing myself to you so much. I know what I am capable of and I will not allow you to torture me. I quit my job at the middle of the year. True enough because now, I have a different life. My effort is appreciated, I am appreciated and I found my self worth again. I regain my self confidence. I know that I am more effective as I am. The enthusiasm and eagerness to work are back. I am not a zombie. I think, I teach, I give my "best" best. I am happier and satisfied. Salary is lower than I was receiving but hey, that's just money myself is more than the money.

You have touched the cord of my heart.. it is an arabic proverb I really do feel the same and I pray to Allah (God) to like I was before.But then there is a sentense in our Holly Quran that says do not hate something that will benefit you..As I understand it ..So maybe you have changed for better. Her is a practice to see your improvment: Bring two papers in the first paper write things that haven't improved in yourself and in the other paper write things that have changed and improved your personality and i hope that it will be useful for you .. ^_^

I have a story actually about my life which completely changed me and you can see that if you will go through my discussions you can see... so yes I am changed now but it's for better not bitter hehe :)
