There are really times when we are extremely down, feeling like we don't want to move at all, feeling like we want to end it all. Yes, I had my share. There are actually a lot of them. But today I believe is the most helpless part of my life when I have to wake up at dawn for work and right after I have to attend classes from afternoon to evening. It feels like I'm draining and powerless. I can't get enough sleep. I feel like quitting. I'll just have to quote it in a song. "Nobody said it was easy. Nobody said it would be so hard. I'll take it back to the start." I never thought that life is really hard. Whew!

uniqueorn I know my most helpless momennt and even three years later it haunts me. I am so afraid of falling. I never was b efore the morning I was on my way into my favorite restaurant for breakfast and ended up insted in the er and in a hospital bed. I tripped over my own foot and fell, landing on my left shoulder. When I tried to get up and xould push up with my left arm, only my right I knew something was broken but I still thought because of the pain I had dislocated my shoulder. nothe paramedics insisted I go with thenm to be checked out. good thing I did. I had literally smashed the shoulder bones in nmy left shoulder.but that moment when I tried to get to my feet and my arm not only hurt but it would not wo rk. I felt so helpless s ure I was 79 but I kept my ownb housem, I cooked and did for myself., I was self reliant until that moment that chaned my life forever. I never got baack but little use of my left arm. I can raised it maybe about but thats all even though I had a lot of theraphy. thou

I've got this case too but this is something we could easily recover. We just have to stand up. Our fear comes from our mind and we just have to set it to face the world again. I believe people become really helpless when we are physically and emotionally struggled or both at the same time.

I guess everyone has times like that. As a mom, I have had a few helpless moments. When my kids get hurt I feel helpless. But I know you cant prevent every bump or bruise.

Ok, try life from my point of view. Get your butt up ! I had open heart surgery two months ago and will never be able to work again. I won't be able to do lots of things I used to do either. Enjoy what you have.........your health , your kids, your family, your work and be proud you can move ! WE DON'T MISS WHAT IS GOOD, (LIKE WORK) UNTIL YOU DON'T/CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. get up and make life yours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get off your pity potty!!!!! LIFE is what you have and you are throwing it all away feeling sorry for yourself !!!!!

There are many times in my life that I was helpless. I started to feel self-pity then. When I have problem when nobody's to turn around could hardly find where my friends are! Then I strive to settled until I made it to the top that everyone wants to be my friend even I don't know them..

Wow. This is really motivating. Although I have a lot of friends but making it to the top is never an easy thing.

i think my most helpless moment was when i took the board exam in nursing because i was badly emotionally hurt by the ex gf and friends of my ex bf. she wanted to get even because she lost her man who later on courted me. i tried my best to detach my emotion while taking the board, but it was really difficult. i just kept on saying to God that i badly needed his help.

I could certainly understand this. Nothing beats when emotions rule over us.

It was years ago that I felt so helpless. Either my wallet has been stolen or I had to walk for three hours just to get home. Ten years ago I drank so much water at a river before I was saved by my friends. Omg I can say many more but it's so depressing..
