Feeling sad..

India
May 19, 2012 2:40am CST
Yeah, I'm feeling sad lately, things are happening in unexpected way, everything seems to be out of it's place, I had a little bit of job related worries initially in this year, after that loss of money due to unexpected reasons and then a journey which I had not even dreamt of and after that journey when I didn't have a single penny in my pocket, my landlord asked me to leave the room. No idea why suddenly so many things happening and nothing is in my control. My question to you people is, have you ever been in such situation, if yes, how did you handle it, please share your experience. Thanks!

Yes I have and it is not a good feeling. I know what its like to loose all my money. And it wasn't even my fault. When my ex left she took everything and I mean everything. But remember this, it seems that when one wrong thing happens, they happen all at once. You will get yourself together again. It all takes time. I also know about being depressed, I have been in a depression for the last four years now and I am having a hdd time getting out of it. But not everyone is like me. Don't look at the bad things right now. Look to the positive, that should help you get through this.

You're welcome, inertia4. I'm glad to know that you have found someone but I also agree with you on the fact that those people who were close to heart and have hurt us will always leave us wounded and those scars will always be there in some part of our heart but we always have an option to move on and continue with our future and try to live the life with positive attitude..All the best

Hi inertia4, Yes, it's not the things that we miss, it's the behavior of that person that hurts, when a stranger tries to hurt you, you may resist him/her but when people close to you try to hurt you like this, you certainly feel like losing everything. I've been through such situations in my life and I know how it feels. At this time, my situation is a bit different but the result is same. I trust in time, it heals everything, I'm sure it'll take care of my tough times as well. I wish you good luck and I'm sure you'll find someone whom you can trust and who can take care of you and you get back all the happiness in your life. All the best intertia4, Thank you for your response!

Thank you. I do have someone now, and I do trust her. And the best part of being with her is that we knew each other years ago, so it was an automatic thing. But I still have those feelings from all those years of marriage with the evil ex and it does not seem to be going away. I have no actual feelings for her, but it is the resentment.

No one is ever ready for a bad thing to happen, and bad things always happens. I'm yet to meet someone who's not having a little bit of this or that. In fact it seems like everybody is talking about this today.and I am also going through stuff also, iwe are all in the same circle, it's just that it spins to different directions. Be strong dearie, what can say when I also don't know how to deal with my own? I'm just keeping my head above water.

Hi Nikhabele, That's true, it's something that everyone is going through, sometimes, you can manage it and there are times when you feel you just can't. I'm also trying to keep my head above water, don't know exactly, what to do, when it's from outside, you can think of something, when it's from within, it's tough to decide what will be the right thing to do. I've decided to just keep trying and leave it on time until I have some better options. Thank you for your reply Nikhabele, wish you all the best and good luck for your life.

Thanks for your response, ryanong. Such times in our life shows us that our life is not just by chance, it does have some purpose, I do hate this situation but at the same time, I do expect something meaningful (good/bad) to happen for me. I feel, from here I can only have good things in my life, I'll just wait and watch.

Yes. I have already experienced that kind of situation in a different way. I do not have any money even a single penny and so, what I did is I find a work online even if the pay is low, because I believe, all comes in a small thing before it becomes big.

Hi IntrovertShy, I've got some very good suggestions in this discussion and I've also come to know that it's with everyone and they are handling such tough situations in their own way, yours is also a good way of thinking, I will remember the last line: "All comes in a small thing before it becomes big" Thanks for your response and all the best !!!

This is really sad.specially when you are not prepared things to happen. you just have to face life uncertain events. i suggest go to your nearest friend or relative to stay for a day or two...depends on how long they can help you as well. If you have no friends or relatives, that is the main problem there. well, i know God will not give us problems we can't face. so, have faith in him and pray that things will be okay...you just have to suffer this way.

it's good to have a friend you can trust and ask for help when you really neede it... I am happy for you! Sometimes it's really hard to move forward when you don't have anyone beside you to support or even help you make it through. we just have to open our problems to others for them to be able to help us...hopefully! It's really good to know that you have a friend to help you. just be sure to make your life work the right way. sometimes, friends can be angry as well and have limited patience, so be good to them as well...

Hi Annavi23, Good idea, guess what, I'm already at my friends room and will stay here for some time. I could have gone for some other rented room but emotionally it'll be too much to handle this time. I can feel a void within, I've been through tough times before but this time, it's more inside than from outside, when you feel that nothing can give you satisfaction or happiness that's when it starts to hurt. I'm trying to have hope, may be time will give some more options to me so that I can move forward with some positives. Thank you for your response, Annavi23

Well, i used to be in the same situation. Better you should ask your friends or your family member to borrow money for renting. We need a home for go back every night first. Just do step and step, i think your problem will be solved soon. Don't worry too much.

Hi ryanong, Yes, I've already done that but still I will not get a good room for myself for a few months. I'm okay with that, my first priority is to get rid of this current situation and as you said, it can be done only by tackling issues one by one. Thanks for your response, ryangong.

I have been in your shoes before. I feel for you, I really do. My family and friends have always said that I am strong and that I will make it through what ever is thrown my way. Beleive it or not, I did pull through, With all of my spare time I suddenly had, I volunteered in my community to help where help was needed. My volunteering opened all kinds of doors that helped me pull through my tough time. Suddenly I had an offer for a paying job, I was offered a place to stay, 1st month rent free with the promise that I would keep employment. I do have Faith, and I truely believe that help will come to those who help themselves. Good luck:-)

It's really tough to be in this kind of situation, people who are around me they don't feel any difference in my behavior but the changes that I can feel within are really frustrating, not getting sleep is one among those. Sometimes, I thank mylot website, it's a place where I can share all this and it really helps when people discuss it here. Time heals everything and I'm sure this situation will not last long. Thank you for your encouraging reply Lizomatic12, and wish you all the best for your life.

I'm sorry to hear you have been sad. Yes..there are times when I have felt out of control. I just went with the flow...doing the best I could...controlling what I had the power to control and made the best out of the struggle. It wasn't easy by any means but if I could just see the brighter sides or the possible good that might come out of it..I could make it.. Take care.

I have been there and I have done that, I was forced to grow up when I was 19 years old and decided to move out of my parents house. I also currently have a feud with with my land lady too because she decided to raise my rent. I still have lots of other r problems I cant mention but I never lose hope. I just think that i can do this. I save money, even if that means my life wont have any for of entertainment and after saving lots of investments,My life is financially better,

This is something that I have to learn, saving money, it's been a few years since I'm working but never seriously thought of saving and I can see the result of that at this time in my life. Life is tough, someway or another everyone has so many issues, but by sharing our way of handling issues, we can learn how to tackle tough situations. Thanks for your response, CaptAlbertWhisker.
