hey..i know how that feels. 1. You can't really find happiness in others if you can't find it in yourself. 2. You seem to be really occupied by this family problem. You have to work on this. Solve it within you. If you can't solve it with your family yet, you have to set yourself the mind to solve it for your sake. 3. Help yourself. Parties won't help. Friends may. Your family may help too. ABOVE all, YOU can help yourself. How? a. Understand yourself better. What do you really want? b. Know what makes you happy and hold on to this c. Don't strangle yourself with your problems. There are others willing to help. d. Laugh and smile. Happiness comes from learning to smile. e. Learn to handle emotions. Cry when you need to, hold back tears when you must. CRY and let it all out but don't be so emo. That's life, you have challenges, the only way to get out of it is if you challenge challenges yourself. f. Learn how to become a better person. d. Do minor good things to help your self-esteem. Doing good things gives you a slight rise above yourself. You become happy. Sometimes this becomes your foundation to becoming happy with yourself. When you're happy with yourself, you learn how to deal with family problems, stronger, you learn to stand up and be happy no matter what keeps bringing you down. When you're happy and you've got that inner satisfaction within yourself, you will never let yourself overcome yourself. Remember: your worst enemy when it comes to depression is yourself. Escaping is not a good road. Escaping what's happening, won't make it disappear. Hope this helps. Good luck. A smile for you. =)

if your problem is your boyfriend, it's just natural to feel that way. it's usually difficult to let go of the memories you had with him. always remember that he's not the only person in the world. you have your family and friends with you. they, too can make you happy. and one day, you will find another man who will love you forever. anne

hello. I think that its all starts and finished in faith. have faith in nature, in the goodness of god. give a credit to god that created all those amazing things like stars, planets, flowers, uman body, animals and ect'. he will work your problems out if you will not go against his nature. be good and true to yourself and things will be just amazing as you want them to be. piece and goodluck.

Well no matter how fast you run your problem will stay with you always. I suggest that you face it with confidence in your heart that you will overcome that. Being sad and feeling broken will not either help you solve it. How? Just face life with confidence and hope that everything will be okay. In my case I have a mother with cancer but that doesn't make my life miserable and sad. Instead I try to make my life happy as I wanted to make my mother feel happy and confident before she finally leaves us. So in your case make you life happy you are the only ones that could really make you happy. How? Choose to be happy despite the situation at hand. Sadness and being broken wont help at all and even running away from it won't solve your problems away.

hi mariaglenda! Good day. Smile. :) As we discussed in our philosophy class, happiness is a choice. :) Be reminded that problems are always there to test us. And we should take there constructively or else will end up crying and wailing and wanting to end up our own lives. Running to problems will never help you, and should not be an option anyway. Facing problems is hard but it's worth the tears and courage. Life is so beautiful. Enjoy it because you deserve and no one and nothing can get it from you unless you let them. Enjoying life is a choice. Always remember that it's a choice. Be wise and choose to be happy. Inner struggles can be overcome. Choose to be happy. You deserve it. Have great day. God Bless. :)

Hi MariaGlenda, Greetings to you. Your post seems so sad and filled with urgency that I thought I would stop by here and cheer you up. I hope you do find some moments to look at the beauty that surrounds you and know that whatever your problems might be, there are always friends who will stand by you if only you can open up and share the problems. There are family problems that are obviously difficult to share and that is understandable . But you will need to somehow divert your attention to other more positive aspects of your life so that you can begin to put negative feelings aside or behind you and move forward to a better and happier life. I sense that you are looking for a place to find inner peace and perhaps a retreat where you can be comforted. I wish that you can find such a place too. Remember you cannot run away from yourself.. neither can you close your eyes to reality.. So often it is probably wiser to confront the root of your problems so you can settle it once and for all and then move on to better things for your future.

I had feelings like yours Maria. I want to tell you that you are more pwoerful than you could imagine and you need to erealise the power you have over your own life. The solution is within you, but you must have courage to search. I reached rock bottom at one stage. The good thing about reaching rock bottom is that its made of rock, and all the leaarning and growing you do after that has its foundations on the rock. Accept that you are sad, and accept that you can be happy.

it sounds that you feel depressed at the moment... you just need to relax and take things easy in life... i know it is easier than done... but being depressed will not help to make the situations better... it won't change anything... so it is better if you pray to God and ask Him for guidance... whatever you are feeling and experiencing now, i believe that He is with you and everything is within His will... take care and have a nice day...

It sounds to me that you're hanging onto a lot of negative energies my friend. You need to put them behind you and start walking towards the light. You're out of balance. Whenever I get this way, I get outside, take a walk in the countryside, where I can be at one with nature. I take in all the beautiful scenery and wondrous gifts we've been given, and head for a quiet spot. It's good to be close to water too... that's very good for cleansing away negative thoughts, especially running water. I like to find a quiet spot, where I can find my inner self and get to the bottom of my problems. It's surprising how much better you feel. But in the meantime... get out there in the sunshine... feel the wind on your face, hear the whisper in the trees, and the laughter in the brook as it runs over the stones... refresh, my friend, and you'll feel so much better. Brightest Blessings. x

You definitely need to cleanse both yourself and your home, or room, because your life seems full of negatives. That's what's stopping you from moving forward. Smudge your home, and clear it of all negatives, then to help you relax, place some lavender buds or plants in each of your rooms. Lavender is very soothing and pacifying. Brightest Blessings.

Everyone has problems in life. If you cry at the trouble it grows double. If you laugh at the trouble it disappers as a bubble. So don't struggle so much, best things happen when not expected.

mariaglenda you are not alone, we all have been to that spot a few times in our lives. first you need to find that one person you can always talk to, whether it is your mom, your dad, a sister, or maybe a best friend, and 'talk to them like you have to us. A problem shared is often halved and your person you trust can sometimes guide you in the right direction.You feel like you have something missing and maybe that is a best friend. sometimes it helps to talk to your family doctor and see if you have any health problems and if not maybe he or she can send you to a mental health counselor who can work with you to find out 'what your real problems are and solve them. help is out there 'but you need to know how to find it.

Good morning Mariaglenda! You have a most unusual beautiful name..I feel certain your heart is the same! I myself am plagued by continuous problems with my only daughter on almost a daily basis. I am not sure what your troubles consist of but I do know that any dealings with negative emotionally abusive people can be very hard to deal with,especially when it is someone in your own family. I use to pray for patience...now I pray for God's Grace in every situation I face. My dealings with my daughter( who is 22,unwed and has a baby girl almost 2 months old) have plagued me and my family for over 10 years and have put me in the hospital on numerous occassions for nerve related problems. I have accepted the blame she places on me for everything wrong in her life for the past 7 years...even when it makes no sense..I was convinced that somehow I had failed. The reality of the situations is that for years I have tried to share the benefit of my experiences with difficult situations in hopes of her avoiding the same pain I have suffered by making uninformed desicions or desicions made despite the wisdom shared by others. My heart and hands go out to you as I completely understand being in a room full of people and still feeling completely alone. Mariaglenda, it is time to introduce or reintroduce you to the best friend you will ever have on earth.....she is in the mirror. She needs to be held and treated kindly by none other than you. You say you are broken...my very words to my doctors....Ask God to send his angels to help you piece yourself back together. It is not an easy thing to do but you have made it this far. I am here with all these wonderful people on this site for you to share your thoughts,hopes,dreams and fears. When you feel down and alone picture this woman of almost 45 with her arms around you and hear her say "I understand and I am here". That woman is me and I will run with you in your thoughts! We just have to keep our bodies here(and where you live)and utilize the positives(like this sight)and we will make it through.....and also help others who are going through their own difficulties! I see in your eyes the strength you feel you've lost....you will find it again. In God's Love, Ravenstorm4

No one has ever said Life was easy. If you believe in God, turn your problem over to him and try to let it go. You must always remember you can't change others but you can change yourself. Perhaps changing the way you view your problem would be of some help. Also, asking others for help, friends, other family members is sometimes a good thing. I had a boss that once said every problem we face we should consider an opportunity to enhance our knowledge and life. Pretty far out there but its true. If we looks at lifes problems as stepping stones to who we want to become, we learn and are more prepared for the rest of our lives. Blessings to you my dear!

Take some quiet time for your own self. Go into your room and take a nap or read a good book. (Most people will leave you alone if you are reading.) Watch some TV..paint or color..juta take time for you. Sounds like you need some good old-fashioned solitude. Take a long wak alone. Or just write a poem, etc.. everyone needs alone time.
