Maybe its just something you have to get thru to move on, like 'what doesnt kill you makes you stronger'. Change of scene is often a good thing, new perpective, see it as a challenge

Take it easy, use this as an opportunity to get things back in the right track. Take a break, go to a cool place, relax your mind, then when you are fresh consider the different options you have. Then decide on the rt path. Discuss with your friends/sister if required. Trust me, all of us have passed through one form of difficulty or other. Things will improve.. Good Luck.

If those feelings persist, or are ever-present, and if it's something you feel comfortable with, you could discuss with your GP the possibility of taking anti-depressant medication. Some people (and GP's) are against medication, some are for, but really, you need to make a choice that is best for you. Some depressed people have a chemical imbalance in their brain that is no fault of their own and can be helped tremendously with medication. There have been some fantastic suggestions so far as to how you can view your situation and some great tips on how to feel better. Please know, also, that if you have taken all advice onboard and tried to gain a fresh perspective, it's okay if you find it difficult to do so, and it's okay if you don't even really feel like trying. If you find yourself in that situation, please promise me that you will at least TALK to a friend or a loved one about how you feel, and perhaps even ask that they take an active role in you feeling better, even if that means booking appointments for you and going along with you, to lending a sympathic and understanding ear, or even getting you out of the house more. Don't listen to anyone who tells you to "Get over it" or "Snap out of it". It isn't always that easy. Aside from that, fresh air and exercise have been proven to do wonders for one's state of mind and feeling of well-being. Also make sure you have a healthy, balanced diet, are getting enough sleep and that you don't have any un-neccessary stress in your life. I wish you all the best.

I can relate, I don't have alot of input to give you, I'm kinda lookin' for the same input, but you're not alone.

we all go through different challenges in life... don't despair. sorry things are not working out financially and romantically for you. maybe you need a change in your life and this will afford you an opportunity to re-evaluate your priorities in life. first off, you have the honor of having a relationship with a heavenly father, no one can rob you of that. sounds like you have your marbles together and good health, so many people would gladly trade places with you. then again you have family that is willing to assist you in a time where you need help, you are blessed. don't despair and please don't do anything rash. no doubt you are a valuable and good person so just try to look at the silver lining in the dark clouds. for all you jackasses that keep downrating this comment I have two words for you "up yours"

It happens. Awwww, kdawwg, I am sorry. If it helps, you aren't alone. Input? It's temporary. I think it is nice that you have family that will help you get back on your feet by providing you with a place to live. That is very positive. You are an artiste, no? Nobody can take THAT away from you (and I wish I could draw a stick figure let alone sculpt one). It sounds like you have a lot of bad things happening all at once. The snowball effect can be overwhelming and understandably so. You might consider seeking some counseling. Take it one day at a time and try to focus on the future and try to look forward to being back on your feet. When you are, throw a big party and invite all of us over :) Good luck.

I am very sorry you are felling so low and lost. Nobody has suggested this yet that I saw, but it sounds like you are at least moderately depressed. I would strongly suggest talking to a mental health professional before it gets worse or to the point where you have no energy or desire to feel better. These kinds of feelings, while common, can snowball and make it so you do not know you need help and then it is very difficult to function at all. I hope you will consider this and seek some form of help, even if just an evaluation at a local hospital ER if you cannot afford to see a private counselor or therapist. And good luck to you.

I am really happy to see how supportive all of your answers are. It's all good advice!

About 4 years ago, I was feeling more or less like you are now. A very long, long-term relationship had come to a sudden end (it seemed sudden, but now with hindsight it wasn't). I felt lost, lonely, and I couldn't see how I could ever get to like life again. My life had gone from being steady and stable to upside down and inside out and I didn't know and didn't want to know how it would ever get back on the right tracks again. But it did. With the help of my family and my own resiliance I got through it. It took a long while, but now I can see that those things happened for a reason, and I've learnt so much since. I've learnt how to like myself again, I've gained so much independance and resolve, and learnt how to have faith in myself. This is another part of your life that you will have to deal with in order to make yourself a stronger and better person. Things will change and things will get better. Have faith.

Is that where youve been hiding?

I am also Frustrated my Friend with my Life , i dont wann to live so better to live this Frustrated life you and me end up this one.

Sadly, I've been where you are now. There is hope though. Things do get better by degrees. Bit by bit. I know you might think that moving in with you sister and her husband is a terrible thing but probably not. Family can be a support system. Someone to talk to. You won't be alone and that's good. Sometimes we get comfortable in life and it changes on us. It's not static. And sometimes it seems as though everything's turned upside down. A few things you can do: refuse to listen to the nightly news, it's depressing. Listen to some uplifting music. Take time to smell the roses. Do some of the things that you wished you had time to do and up til now you haven't had the time. Visit friends you haven't seen in a while. Get out and go for a walk. Did you know that ten minutes of exercise can improve your mood for an hour? Meditate, pray. Get enough sleep. Hope it helps that ABer's are thinking of you today.
