Life can be unhappy when we encounter some other people or facing a problem. Of course the first person we can turn to God and share our emotion with Him. But beside Him, we can also ask people such as our good friends or family members to share about our emotion. Who would like to turn to first whenever you experience unhappiness in your life?Will you cry or scream to express your emotion when facing unhappiness? Share with us.

When I am sad I usually go to my best friend and talk to him. That really helps! I have other friends but he is the best to tlak to! There have been times I just don't bother people and I just get through myself! That can be bad! Sometimes it can be better to talk to someone then to let it build up inside! I just think people will get sick of me and my problems! I keep forgetting I hear other people's problems at work! So I shouldn't keep my problems inside!

There are two people that I will turn to when I am struggling with something in my life. The first person that I will turn to has always been and will always continue to be my mother. The reason for that is that she has always been my biggest fan and supporter. The other person that I will turn to is my husband because in the seven years since we've been married we've been walking through life together and therefore I feel like I should be able to go to him with everything.

i always turn to my wife. from the day i met her i know i found the person who will stick with me through all kinds of weather. and it proved me correct. so what ever i feel or what ever the problem i have on hand i tell her. she lifts me up and tell me its alright and thats what i tell her too when she is down. we will solve this holding hands and asking Gods guidance.

I would turn to the one i loved most if i were unhappy. that would have to be my partner. When i was younger that person would have been my mother instead. To release the emotions I feel, the tears would surely come first.

Hi wildlittlefan...really nice topic...thanks to you.. I personally don't like to show my emotions in front of others but there are situations when you simply cannot resist yourself. Consciously I'm very strict with my emotions.. It may sound weird but this is the truth of my life. God has given me a very rare quality to heal myself so easily and control my emotions by my predetermined rules that I have developed from so many years. of course it didn't happen in a day, and without any reason. There's a bitterly experience I have faced in my life at very young age. From that time I have learnt that emotions makes you weak...and when you'll show your emotions to others you'll get (most of the time) fake words from the world you thought so familiar and close to you. But there are exceptions. there are some relations that will never betray you. Yes, I'm talking about the relationship we form before coming to this world, our parents. They are always with you, in every situation, in every moment, no matter if the whole world hates you, they will still be so nice, so caring, so loving.I have been taught it from my experiences. And there is another relation that can never be forgotten, relationship with our children. They won't let you be drawn. There might be some contradictions, different views between parents and children, but the relation that forms with blood, and gens that comes from our DNA, we cannot neglect that for long. We can hate each other, but for how long? oneday when you'll be in danger, they will come to you at first forgetting all the pasts. Yeah some of you our there may indicate another relation, a relation with lover or husband. i have no practical experience with it so i can't say anything boldly about this but I have a feeling that sometimes they can be your opponent..sometimes..not always. But I can always believe and trust my parents. I don't have to think twice and this makes it different from other relations.. Whenever it is time to share my mom is my best friend. after God/Allah/Vagban/Jesus whatever you want to call. I can scream, cry like mad, can shout, can act like crazy but she will never feel bothered. She will comfort me, give me that love which I got from her when I was inside her. I have a strong believe that when my mom is with me no danger, pain, dust can touch me. I myself am the witness of this fact.. In all events of my life, either in moments of happiness or in strong regret I have got my parents with me like a shadow. I'm the luckiest daughter in this world..I'm so thankful to God to give me the chance to be born and grown up as my parents daughter..

I don't really have someone that I can run to whenever I am unhappy or am facing a difficulty in my life. Whenever sadness due to something terrible attacked me, I only talk to God and pour out all my emotion to Him. I know He didn't respond back to me in an audible voice, but I can sense His presence calming my thoughts and making me feel alright. For me Jesus Christ is my best friend. It was only after I have gotten over the sadness that I can talk about it to anybody interested to listen.

Most of the time, the cause of my unhappiness are problems and worries. God is the first person that I would turn to just like what you have said. The next person would be my husband. I tell him everything because he is also my best friend. I know he will support me and help me in any aspects that he could. I don't scream except when I am surprised or frightened, I just cry to express my emotion when facing unhappiness.

Good question....aside from praying, of course I turn to either my husband or to my children, especially my daughter to ventillate my feelings, or "talking cure" taking the cue from Freud that talking to someone about worries, hatred, frustrations, disappointments, really help a lot. Lately, I am experiencing a lot of stress from work...I talked it over with my daughter ( who is grown-up) and my husband....I feel better...I also deal with unhappiness by going to the beauty parlor for pampering, or to the mall, for distractions, or simply read my favorite book. In addition, a good massage would also soothen whatever aches I have....

I typically don't go to a person. When I am sad, I listen to music or write poetry.

I have several friends I use for several incidences...... Some things I go through I can talk to one friend about and other things to another...... It works out well this way..... You got to know your limits even with your friends...... Don't put to much on them because they do worry about us.....

When I'm sad, I usually try to find something else to do. Or sometimes I ask my friends out, hang out with them and all that stuff. But when I;m too depressed, that's when I turn to God through prayers. It helps 'cause in a way, my prayer becomes a mantra and I become more positive with my life. My family gives me comfort that I need when I'm sad but I don't let them know that often when I feel so down. Their company and stories are enough to make me happy.

It is always my best friend that I would turn to whenever I'm unhappy or something bad happened to me. She's the one I would talk to and tell everything to. When I am sad, or unhappy, I cry it out. I let it all out just to make me feel better afterwards. And if I talk to my best friend every thing that happened, it makes me feel better afterwards. But when my best friend is not around, especially now that she's so far away, it's a bit hard but I found a place to vent out my emotions by blogging. I write what I feel and how I felt that time, whether I am sad, happy, angry or mad at something just to let it all out.

hi friend... when i'l be depressed,first i wish to speak with that person from whom i'l be emotional and like to share my feelings...when it is not possible then i'l share with my twin sister and close friend... i think they are the best person to me, when ever i share my feelings they solve it and try to convince me... i m very emotional person,i drop my tears down and don't like to speak with anyone,i think what i do is best because all my sorrow comes out in my tears...of course all girls do the same,v r very kind hearted and sensitive....but some refuses to hide and some lost there control... i don't like to involve my parents because they hurts a lot....

sometimes i feel that way too and i don't really like it but in times of my unreasoned sadness i would first want to talked to god why does i feel that feeling and i always pray that i want to feel his presence beside me in times of that i will ask for strength that i can handle what i am facing at that time i know that god would never leave us its just that we are the one who just forgotten him in times that we don't need him
