sad have you got someone you can talk to?

I've had heaps over the years - but got through them all ok.
Most have been when under tremendous stress and coupled with lack of sleep, in himdsight they were probably all inevitable. Funny how you can see it so much more clearly in hindsight, but at the time it hits you from out of nowhere, blindsiding you. I've burst into tears in public, hot tears of shame and anger at myself for losing my cool, innocent bystanders with bewildered faces and raised eyebrows NOT HELPING!!!

Nearly had one last night, but I went splashed some cold water on my face and got through dinner with gritted teeth. There's only one way to suffer my dad, and that is TIPSY dead you can't choose your family
I'm the mistake you wanna make

laminparties, I couldn't help but notice your signature... and it concerns me. What might we make of it? And do you need help in finding support to reach a better mental/emotional place?

Why did you have an emotional breakdown?

My cousin had 2 because her sister-in-law was talking shit and it really hurt her.

Did something happen? Are you going through something? Are you stressed?

LET IT OUT DARLING. It's good to talk about it.

I can feel for you--been there. The trick is to remember that "this too shall pass" and you will have a day when you feel better... I have a friend whose daughter died last year and she's having a really rough time this holiday season...but she decided to throw herself a birthday party on Christmas (that's her b'day) in defiance of having a rollercoaster emotional breackdown lately... Hang in there--whatever the problems are--even if you can't fix them, you will eventually have that day when the weight is lighter to bear... Hope you feel better sooner than later. hug

Fuck, yes... Many people have them, but that doesn't change the feeling of others not being able to relate/grasp the pain when it is there. It can be absolutely shattering up to the point where you can't imagine anyone else feeling that miserable.

The fact is (although it's so "simple" I am almost afraid to admit it, as I have suffered for long periods myself; and I am sure I will suffer again, at some point): It passes with time. If you wait for a bit and hang in there, there will come a day where you will understand why you were sad, and you will understand why you're not sad at the moment. And, believe me, these moments are worth it.

I am not a happy, bubbly sunshine-boy at the moment (never have been, never will), but at least I can say that I am better than I was a couple of months ago. I'm actually alright and satisfied. It was definitely worth the wait.

So don't give up, man. The world can be a pretty fucked up and lonely place full of fucked up people, but somewhere inbetween, there's a place for everyone and many chances to gather some positive emotions and happiness once we get over our dark periods, each and every day.

hug

sigh

I am sorry you are hurting.... you should know that people care. I care. Talking about your troubles does help. I am glad you reached out and recognize you and in pain. I myself have crying fits....

do not worry your answers will come. Things will get better.

I wish I could give you a hug in person, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there, stay strong and fight through it, you will overcome this.

I understand how you feel. A little over a month ago, I was in terrible shape. I've been dealing with a hormone imbalance for a little over a year, plus we'd had layoffs at work (my job is intact, but my workload increased tremendously) and I was having other personal issues. I could barely keep it together to go to work. I felt very close to the edge, by which I mean, increasingly desperate and in fear for my life.

Fortunately, I have a wonderful primary physician, who got me in for an appointment right away, made some adjustments to my hormone therapy, and put me on a very low dose of an antidepressant.

A month later, I feel so much better, I can hardly believe it. It makes me wonder how long I'd really been struggling before the breaking point came. Frankly, I think I've been slipping slowly into depression and anxiety for years.

My doctor told me her story, too. She made it through years of infertility treatments and other health issues. Her breaking point came when she injured her hip doing yoga (relatively minor compared to the other stuff she'd endured). She told me you just never know how much you can bear - or when you'll take on the "last straw."

My point is, you need to see someone - now. There is no shame in admitting you need help. And trust me, the pain you are in now is so much worse than the pain of admitting you aren't Superman. Things will get better, they really will.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Given the tone of a lot of your more recent posts, you'll have to stop me if I don't run to your bedside like the rest of the folks here.

You're probably trolling and that's cool.

Were you not trolling, you should be spending time trying to get yourself admitted to a hospital instead of wasting it here asking for the advice from strangers. None of it is half as sincere as it seems and truly neither is the inquiry.

Emotional turmoil is a crippling thing. Folks out there can find that the stylus is lifted right off the record and they just continue to spin around in the same place forever. The mind has the most brilliantly complex way of entangling itself in protective cocoons no matter how toxic they are. But for the fact that it can change in the blink of an eye, life wouldn't be worth living. And as soon as a person finds themselves entangled in emotional webs, they can light a fire to those webs and climb their way out.

IF you are not trolling, then I suggest you work on thinking for yourself first and perhaps you won't have to come here to ask for reasons why you shouldn't give up.

Well, its just a waste of time to do anything else. Give a man a fish/teach a man to fish, etc.
