feeling so sad

July 15, 2007 1:28pm CST
How do you get over the sadness that you feel when you thought someone cared for you and they don't.It feels like everything is crumbling away...self esteem..courage to get on and do things has gone...i just feel so very sad.

tough situation. i think the best thing is to keep busy and spend time with people that care about you like friends and family. like they say time heals all wounds. just look forward to tomorrow. easier said than done but talk to someone. letting it out will help and think about it like this. months and years from now it wont hurt as much be strong and have hope. good luck and have a nice day!

have you tried going away for awhile? i am not sure if you are still in school. but if you are go away for the summer. it always helps to get away or to get a change in scenery. oh and cry A LOT. that always helps for me and have lots of sleepovers and talk and talk to friends who will listen. when i got my heart broken i was crying for a month then it slowly got better. it will heal and it wont hurt forever. :-)

no i'm not a school, i'm all grown up, or meant to be. Have cried so much, I know it will get better...I know time heals, but when you're in the thick of it its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnnel....Why do we do it to ourselves..we become so vulnerable..and when it goes wrong it hurts.Life I guess.

I cry it out until my eyes are fluffy. Stay at home for a day or two, but help myself realize that my life isn't over. So what if he doesn't care for me, there are a lot other people who would. He's a jerk and he doesn't know your worth. Don't push yourself down because of one person. Remember that no one can hurt you without your permission! Cry it out but never let it stop you from doing what you want. There are more things in life that would make you happy. And remember that the person for you is waiting, and searching for you. If you don't go out and be happy again and do your best to make yourself better, then this person won't be able to find you. Would you want him to see you in a bad condition? or do you want to be seen by that person you are meant to as a happy and positive person? It's your choice. Throw away that feeling with that person who didn't really care. Let go and don't force love. Make yourself better and show him that he was wrong for not loving you.

Only time can heal such pains. Give yourself sometime, try to occupy ourself into some activity that will keep you busy and think less about what happened. If you have some best friend then speak to him or her, cry as much and you can and wash away all you pain. It is very necessary that you speak about it. This happens to everybody , it is a part of life and such experiences in life make a person more strong and next time he can bear things more easily. so be strong and try to forgive and forget.

just because someone doesnt care for you as you wish, doesnt mean he/she doesnt care for you with all his/her being.. maybe god wants us to meet all thr wrong people before meeting the right ones, when it happens, we will be thankful..dont cry because it came to an end, SMILE because it happened..:)

Time is unfortunately the most important factor. Just keep yourself busy and it'll move to the back of your mind. Then eventually you'll realize that you're not hurting anymore.

hi there becca don't feel bad, my heart was broken about 12 years ago and sometimes i think about it and is funny but now i am married and have two beautiful kids, trust me if he broke your heart, is better now than 10 year later when you have kids and them become a single parent; there have to be someone better for you out there and remember never,never settle for less, your well being is more important than anything else it'll pass
