I had the same thing happen to me. I told one of my online friends about this site and how I used to spend a lot of time here. Her reaction was... OMG!! that sounds like a place for depressed loonies, why are you even over there! Pissed me off, because I never thought about it like that. I...

I'm sorry you're feeling this way Arnaert. I used to feel like you do and now I have some happiness. I still have my days, but I'm not in that place I used to be. I had so much crap going on in my life and it made me feel like my existence was worthless. How could it not be? When nothing had...

Hi SourGlow and WELCOME!!!!!!!!!! I love cats too, they're so much like people - moody, unpredictable and adorable when they want to be. Again, welcome welcome welcome!!!

I understand how you feel. It's tough getting over someone that used to be so significant, a lot of us have been there. You go through all of the emotions till you finally get to acceptance and unfortunately some people just don't get there. People will give you all kinds of advice how to deal...

I haven't been here long, but I do know that when somethings wrong - sometimes you have to look within yourself. You have to be honest and come to the realization that maybe you're part of the problem. I agree that sometimes people don't want to be fixed and just need someone to listen, but if...

When I joined this place I was a hollow shell. I had given up hope and was barely existing. Sometimes the darkness will swallow you up and you feel you can never get out. When I look at this thread, it is a reminder of how many offered a shoulder - encouragement - advice and comfort. Thank you...

I know exactly how you feel, although I'm recovering from a break-up of 7yrs and not with him anymore. Even though it ended badly and he was wrong in every way possible, there was no one that understood me quite like he did. We had so much in common, shared the same quirky-dark sense of humor...

Most females "do" want a good guy, but unfortunately it's the bad boys that have the confidence to approach you - talk a good talk and put on the charm. Most are not going to walk away from that type of attention. They lie to themselves, because they're swept up in that bad boy facade. Like...

I think you have to love yourself for who you are. I've known women that have had this procedure hoping it would solve their problems and boost their self-esteem, only to find that it didn't solve anything and made newer problems. Godmother made a good point. The right man won't care and will...

I understand how you feel bluey, but a real friend isn't going to stay upset with you for long.You have your disagreements, but you work it out. At least the extremely small circle I have does and we remain close no matter what. My only drawback is that we don't live close to each other, so...

Maybe we have to stop looking to others in order to find our own happiness. If I wasn't in a relationship I didn't feel complete and that's not good, because when that person walks out of your life you become a mess. I needed to learn to be happy with myself and when people become a part of that...

Depression is definitely not your fault. It's an illness and not personal failure. Blaming yourself will make you self-destructive. I know it all too well and I'm trying to lift myself out of it. It sounds like this has been going on for a long time in your life. Please get some help and talk to...

*CLAP *CLAP You said a mouthful! I'm still a work in progress, but I'm determined.

I've never had a lot of "really" close friends and I like it that way. It's less drama. I know a lot of people, but I wouldn't call them friends, more like buddies. I keep my deepest feelings private and I'm only comfortable sharing that with someone I know genuinely cares about me. 2 good...

I've only been here a short time, but I really appreciate "a lonely life". Honestly, at first I didn't know what to expect, but I'm glad I became a part of this supportive online community. I was broken hearted, lonely & troubled and felt like if this is as good as it gets, I might as well call...

Chris, you gotta stop all this drama in your life. Every single thing that happens is not done personally to sabotage your possibility at happiness. Everyone here has given you good advice. A few laughs, but some good advice.

I know you're scared about the future, but don't let anything hold you back, especially not some career counselor. My father lost his right arm in the war and literally had to relearn everything with his left. He had to find employment so he could provide for his family and didn't know how he...

I think we can become resigned to almost anything, even feeling terrible. Maybe you've become comfortable with negative thinking. It's hard to get out of that rut, when it's been a place of solace for so long. I'm learning to get out of mine, because I no longer want to be in the dark abyss. You...
