to me it's so much easier being alone. no fights no arguing no one to upset me and make me cry. I don't know how people deal with this stuff. i'm so depressed.

what i do is to call and talk to a friend. it would be better to go out, see a movie with him/her. sometimes, i indulge myself in craft making. i go back to my hobby of making bead necklaces and earrings. most times that i find myself low, i invite my daughter to stroll in the mall.

what i tried to explain to my partner last night is that when this things happen i have no one else to talk to. he was my best friend for four years and we are now dating. he was the person i always went to to talk and i don't really have any other friends. i have one other close friend who was out so other than them i have no one else. He was always the person i'd run to and now it's hard.

i think you should not be sad and depressed it is a part of life and everybody see their good times as well as their bad times. and everybody have fights, arguments, i know how it feels i too have a sensitive nature i can understand what you must be going through but you should face it with confidence and you should not give it up. that's how the life is, it's full of up's and down's, sometimes you god makes you happy by blessing you with all the things that you need in your life and sometimes he makes you unhappy by these kinds of fights and arguments it is a part of life and you should not get depressed and apart.

I am so sorry to hear that my friend. Arguing is difficult to deal with. Fights are so pointless. I hope that you will become happier this week. Perhaps you could plan a lovely day out and do something really enjoyable that day. Soon you will find that your depression disappears. Good luck.

I feel your dispair too. From day to day things pop up and life gets cumbersome. Not having anyone to talk to makes it so much worse. One thought might be to Open up the Bible... Or whatever book defines your belief. Just opening the book will lead you somewhere. God has a way of pointing you in the right direction. Let yourself get immersed in a movie, or magazine. Nothing sad. look for laughter. Go to a park and watch the children play. You can not stay sad long when watching children. Try playing with the amimals at the humane society. Many times the staff is so overworked they are not able to spend special time with a pet. Maybe you will find one you want to adopt. There are a million and one other suggesations. Please do not sit and let your depression eat you up. Please keep us posted. There are plenty of mylotters that truly care .

it is actually much easier to be with friends and family.personally I think life is better without a partner.no fights,no arguing,no catering to someone else's moods and feelings.you can have all the time for yourself.spend time with people who truly love you.these people will love you,flaws and all.

I understand what you mean i live with my in laws right now and it is soo anoying they are always there everytime i turn around always in your business if they are not asking you what's going on in your life then they are talking about you amongs each other when you are not around. Always wanting to know. The worst is when they try to correct you or they try to tell you what to do with your life when their life is just as bad or worse then yours. Always criticizing, judging, no matter what you do you are never good enough for them. It has taken me a long time and alot of arguing, fights, disagreement to finally learn how to deal with them. But that is how life is just like at work you have to learn how to deal with people with different personalities and views than ours. We may not live with them but we have to spend a few hors daily with them. So we have to learn to deal with things and people in our lives. I am sorry that you feel so depressed but because i am so used to being around my inlaws i can't think of myself without them . They are like part of me now when i want to have time alone to be able to think and breathe i just go to a friends house or take a weekend off where i get a cheap hotel or motel and just recoup. Or i just take a long drive, go to a park or to the mall or a movie and spend time alone. Anytime that you have someone else in your life you will have issues and things to deal with but in my experience being alone for a short time is good but not good if you are all alone. Now that is depressing to me to be all alone and have no one to talk to. I believe sometimes we let our problems get in the way and we take each other for granted sometimes we become selfish and we feel that if we do things for someone else they have to thank us and repay us and be constantly showing gratitude for what we do if not we are quick to throw it in their faces and make them feel like s***. Whatever happened to doing things for one another because we care and because we just want to help one another. I just am trying to deal with whatever life throws at me and i have my faith in God that everything will be fine. Trust me my in laws made me cry so many times i can't even count how many so i know exactly how you feel. Give it soemtime and take some time alone as well. Prayer also helps. I hope everything gets better for you.
