I'm not proud or happy to admit it, but I tend to get anxiety very badly, and my breathing becomes labored making it nea rimpossible to relax.

I've tried to rethink being with a woman who has children. I somehow still feel I'd still be settling for whoever. I have no doubt that I'd be happy with a woman who has children, but I fear the times when I can't be alone with her and have her utmost attention and care.

I have no children, so I will give myself completely to her. However, a woman with children has to hold back on me a bit to take care of her children.

In a nutshell...I'm more of a worry-wart than I want to be.

There ya go...

Why the hell do people think drugs are the answer to something like this??

All that does is postpone the feelings. They are still there when you come back down.


I tend to agree with this thinking. I don't see how being high resolves anything. Sure estranges a lot of good people from your life and tends to bring loosers into it. Pills are rarely the answer on their own.

Unless of course you have a chemical imbalance and your doctor prescibes something to balance things out. If your hormones, glucose levels, or seritonian levels are messed up there isn't a lot of sense in suffering for no reason.

I am not real big on pain medications but severe chronic pain can really wear your mood down. Also not real good on your heart or other systems.

... what do you do? Usually the negative emotions of being single are kind of dormant after one has been single for a while. One lives one's life -- work, family, friends, hobbies -- and being single during that time is actually kinda fun, as one can flirt and watch boys (or girls, depending), without guilt... and one knows, KNOWS, that they have it together and can be single happily for as long as it takes to find the one whom they REALLY deserve, that One special someone... one knows one can be patient, easily.

But then, then there comes a day every once in a while during that time, when one REALLY feels the loss of someone to hold them, to be there for them, to share their life with them. And nothing one does, thinks, or feels, can trump that feeling of utter lonliness.

What do you do when you are at your lowest? When you're almost ready to throw in the towel and say yes to those you said no to in the past, despite the fact that you KNOW it would only be temporary because they aren't the one (or ones, possibly), who you can happily be with? What do you do when you begin to think that maybe there IS noone you can happily be with, who would want you back?

What do you do when hope seems so very far away?



So you are referring to those desperate times when you feel lonely and might reach out for the wrong person?

I have outgrown the urge to reach for someone that will not be the right one and I know it. Younger years I have done so and regretted it so I learned that it is not a great idea. People get hurt and I believe in karma so to hurt others is not an option.

When I feel lonely now which is not too often, I have been single for 5 years now, I just reach out to one of my friends and spend time with them. Even if it is just watching tv and sharing a pizza. Etc....

getting with a guy that you rejected previously won't take your mind off him..in fact, it will make you think of him more

what can be done -- nothing really..just have to persevere..

I work on myself, and my independance.


I do nice things for myself, and seek inspiration wherever I can


I stay busy, and produce a life OUTSIDE of a partner.


I tell myself things like:


I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this moment.

AND

"nothing happens in Gods world by mistake"


I also remind myself that I have to have acceptance of life on lifes terms.

And I realise, I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world, but what needs to be changed in me and my attitude.

Come back down? Does that happen? I think a lot of this is said with tongue in cheek.

Ice skate. Its my place of peace/Zen/Happiness when I am in the goalie crease facing pucks!

All I do is work to get my mind off things when being used as a doormat for someone.

As for me being at my lowest??

Well, being that I only had 3 relationships and got dumped in all of them. I think would be a good reason I wouldn't say yes to them again. Because none of them were meant to be. I don't want temporary. I need long term.

And I know I am good when it comes to relationships. Dedicated and faithful. The more responsibility I have, the more I thrive in life. SO I am never going to throw in the towel, just wait and look till the right one comes along.

you just take a moment and let it go because running back gets you no where. just breath and remind yourself to keep fighting on until that one comes around and then you will be ready to be the one to the one who wants to be with you. Lonely sucks and such a empty feeling but I would rather be lonely then with another *******:heart: flowerforyou
