Sigh....At this present moment, I feel like nothing is going right. Feeling really depressed. It's so sad that you're always there for everyone when they need someone to speak to but no one is there for you when you need a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on. Music is my drug, but for some reason today it's just not working out for me. I hope writing my emotions down make me feel a little better and I hope my friends on here have a little motivation/ inspiration for me.

I know what you're meaning. I have felt this way on some occasions where I am the only listener and no one will listen to me. Writing is a nice outlet for me sometimes. I hope it will help you also. The good thing in myLot is there are a lot of people who like to listen!

Feeling same here. My failures in every field making me sad and depressed. Why i failed in every field. I am not that person who should deserve those things , i think so. It really hearts me a lot. Sometime i feel every thing finished in the life. Lack of interest to live. I am not able to concentrate on my studies also, which is only one thing through which i can come back but i am not able to do so.Friend i think there are so many persons who are upset,sad,depressed the solution is focusing on the work and get success. Many knows the solutions also but not able to get rid of these type of situations. the main solution is sharing the problems and sorting out the problems but it does not happens most of the time for most of the people.
Do not feel so friend and try to share your feelings wherever you can.

hello mylotter friend. i know you are new in mylot and being a member here we are willing to help you , give you advices. i admire you for overcoming your depression through writing. some people do unacceptable actions if they are depress. i guess you know what are those actions are. because we are human being , there are times we suffer or experience depression , and thats a challenge to us on how are we going to overcome that depression. and for you through writing you can express how you feeling during time of depression. and one thing more friend do pray. thats the best weapon we have.

When I'm depressed I usually call on God and burst everything on Him then I fall asleep. After that I'm not depressed anymore. When you feel that way I suggest you pray and tell to Him what you feel that way. Surely, God will comfort you in the way you wouldn't know. Just trust God in everything. And pray always. Depression is not from God.

friend...you can talk in this mylot your problem. many people will give their best response to you. They will hear you. can I ask, are you have any best friend? if you have, then you can talk to them too. Because I believe they will listen to your problem and help you how to solve your problem and give you some advice. So don'tworry, if you don't have best friend. just talk in here or chatting with anyone you didn't know but they will listen to you

Hey Diamond, sometimes its better to speak to strangers rather than people you've known your whole life. Most times, they listen but the advice they give is nit what you quite want to hear so you end up feeling worst. I don't have a best friend per say...I'm a listening ear to many of my friends, they come to me, I advice them...But I never really open up to any of them about my issues cause they're always so busy talking about theirs

Felling low or down is something all of us experience from time to time. Here where I live, the winter is harsh and very cold. The sun is out for seconds a day and we go to work when it's dark outside and also come back from work when it's dark outside. This situation is really dragging everyone down. They advise to purchase lamps with special bulbs that imitate sun's light and they say it works on elevating the mood. I did not have the opportunity to try it, but thinking of buying at least one for work.This is the wheather down. If you have any other problems like with someone and you need to talk to take it off your chest, we are all here for you. Usually I try to go for a walk because the fresh air does wonders for me, but with this freezing cold outside, I will have to delay the walk. It's so cold that even a short walk of 2 minutes gets you all frozen.

How can we cheer you up. I am feeling down the same moment, but I still have to try to make it okay, the best I can, and I don't want my parents worry about me. I just finish watching a horror movie called "Sinister", and I am back to writing on mylot again. Mostly my down moment is about girls. Maybe I am the kind of loser who doesn't have gut to express my feeling toward the girl I like.

All of us go through this phase sometimes. And when I do, I try to make myself busy by working on things around the house. Definitely, I could not be at Mylot if there are a lot of issues in my head. Or you may want to have a walk at the park or go to the mall. Just do something to make your mind occupied with pother things that think of what seems to be bothering you.

Hi friend, sad to hear about your situation. Don't give up your efforts and confidence. This kind of down times and failures are quite common to every one. Some people will get continuous failure in all their attempt due to their luck, but we don't give up our try. We must try our maximum with our efforts, surely we will get luck one day and achieve our dream with it. We must get motivation from our failures, don't get depressed with failure and give up your try. Our efforts, hard work, determination with luck will help us to achieve our success one day. If we give up our try, we don't have the ability to get success.
Some times it is really hard to accept our failure, if we lost it in a little margin, but we must be sportive and learn lesson from this failure. This kind of failures are our experience which lead us to do our work in a good way. Cheer up and get motivation from your failures to achieve your goal. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

I know the feeling as I have been there myself and it was after that I was able to recognise who were my true friends in the end. I love music as well, but sometimes it is not enough to console you when you are feeling extremely down. Please search on the internet how to boost up your moral like I did. Don't rely on others to help you.

what is your problem? may be you have a big problem, if u want u can share here. but it's doesnt matter if u don't want to tell anybody about your problem. may be you need a time to refresh your mind and to relax your body. stay calm and just enjoy because everybody have a problem. and don't give up because life is full of sacrifice.

There"s not a person I know of who didn't experience depression o woes. They only come in different forms and times. When that comes, it i a good option to tell anybody about it or express it on print since despair need s an outlet, otherwise you can't have any chances of overcoming it.

I also had those moments, like I feel so alone and it seems like everybody else is too busy to be there for me. Even my own husband at times. Like you, I just go have a quiet moment, pop my earphones and listen to some music and write down whatever I feel. It could be a letter to myself, a letter to God, or a letter to a loved one. Then when I have it all out, I sort of feel better. If I think it would be helpful that I send that letter to the person that it is intended for, then I let him/her read it. Sometimes, there are some things that we can't put into words, but when we write them down, it just flows out easily.
