Feel like giving up in life? I currently have managed to screw everything up in my life and feel like driving far far away from civilization

How do you just get up off the floor and start over?

I wish I had a perfect answer that would work for everyone, including you...and I'm sorry for your current sadness. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and hopefully we'll see you posting a really positive response soon!

Just do it slowly sweetheart

Things always get better in time

my girlfriend lost her teenage son this week, and my son lost a friend, in a freak accident. so, it has made me reflect on how lucky we are, how each day really is a gift. i can't imagine anything putting someone more on the floor than that, life seems easy for me right now in comparison.

i hope you find a way to put things in perspective and enjoy life!

Sometimes ya' just sit there for a minute, figure out how ya got there. Try not to go that road again.

i know how you feel, but on the rare occasion i have a good day. i feel a good day coming on for me today and im kinda excited.

i have learned that happiness comes in small doses in life and that success is based on how we deal with failure.

through my failure, i have defined my own success... and i am only 22. lol.

nelnel, i think we have all walked that path, i wish you the best of luck in being able to move past your difficult situation.
i like to talk it out but often choose someone removed from my life to talk to about it, that way they are more objective with the advise becasue they are not close to or involved in the drama.

sometimes i think woman are harder on themselves than they should be and often take the blame for things they have never had control over!

it`s about change,.. & adjustment,..I sometimes think life most important answers come out of these times,.if you can just hang in there,..

JUST SAY HI TO A NEW WAY OF LIFE AND START AGAIN IF YOU WANT RITE ME OXOXOX

I've been hit with a couple of hard situations lately...my only advice is to whistle through the dark...smile through the pain...act "as if" & it will become...try not to succumb to that down, DOWN feeling...& by all means, keep yourself BUSY! Don't have anything to do? Clean your bathroom grout...with a toothbrush... Just anything...trust me...it works.

& sometimes all you need is a little nap

I know the whole... keep myself busy is important...
and I think taking a LONG nap sounds like it would be a good idea...
one of those let your family know your taking a nap and turn the cell phone off...
I really do appreciate everyones comments...
It's uplifting and has made me realize that it's not the end of the world... just maybe for a couple weeks it will be...
but due time things and life will get better... it always does
Just a bit unsure how I'm gonna get myself up off the floor right now
Slowly... yes
But maybe this time I while getting up slowly I should get up differently... ya know

I know that not everyone is christian or religious... but this often rings true!


The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

and sometimes ( while you`re down there ) you can find some really interesting things on the floor,.like that fav pen you lost last month or a cute little bug,.. it`s another world down there,..take a moment,..

thing is,.when you`re ready,.you`ll get up,.don`t force it,.acceptance is a really big thing,..( sometimes the BIGGEST ) but anyways since you`re down there,.great time to have that little

So sorry your feeling this way! But things will get better.As far as getting back up!Use a hoist if you have to.Wishing you all the best!!
