Jeez, that would scare the bejeesus out of me. Is there any way to protect yourself against that? I'm clueless about diabetes thankfully.

Dubb, I'm sorry to hear that, man. That sucks.

I know that there's always someone who is worse off and someone who's better off. When you feel all alone though and things aren't going well, it's tough to remember that.

thankfully I'm highly sensative to fluctuations in my blood sugar. Even from my deepest sleep, if I slip much below 50 or 60 I wake up shaky. Awake I can feel it around 75. She did not have such luck.

Nevertheless, it was a pretty strong reminder that I need to take care of myself. I don't think I'll ever forget the pain in her parent's faces.

I keep trying to tell myself that things have to turn around sooner or later, and not to give up hope. I just feel so emotionally and mentally drained sometimes with not just the examples I gave but everything in general. I'd like to think that one day I'll be able understand...to make sense of it all, but maybe I never will- I just don't know... After a while of people trying to cheer you up or "help" you, everything just sounds so cliche and doesn't really help. Life can be a b!tch that's for sure...

Sorry, can't commiserate. I'm happy, since I just made it through a long test-laden week and I don't have that much until finals start coming up 2-3 weeks from now.

Remember, when you are dealing with loniness, you aren't alone... and yet you are alone, so very, very alone.

I don't think you have to apologize. We all have our burdens to bear. I don't think we should do any ranking of whose life sucks the most. That's not what this thread was about.

when i was lonely b4...and ...depressed..over a breakup

[b0mbrman]

I love my job (1) and have managed to rid my thoughts of any romantic feelings toward my most recent X (2), but I'm constantly down because I have your (3) in full effect...

No one ever said that it was. It's just a little harder than normal when it feels like so many things are wrong and hit you all at once.

 

[pray4mojo]

Yes I am but I'm not going to post them because it's all just a bunch of teen angst and no where near as bad as some of the other problems in this thread. However like a few others, I am having trouble with a best friend. 🙁

Meh...I guess...I suppose my and the OP's "problems" are nothing when put in perspective of a world where people are dying and what-not...

Doesn't make it suck less though...

ditto...

mostly I think the important thing that alot of people forget these days: no matter how bad you think your life is, there is still a great deal to be appreciative of and thankful for. The trick is keeping that in mind.

2. I can't stop thinking about my ex-fiance no matter how hard I try. I miss her so much that it hurts. People keep telling me that there's someone better out there, and that I need to stop thinking that my ex was the only one for me.

3. My best friend is relocating for a job. Most of my other friends are married and too busy for me most of the time because of their jobs and kids.

Life wasn't supposed to be like this. I know most people will simply say "welcome to life."

Anyway, I just feel especially like crap tonight. It doesn't help that tomorrow's Monday. Oh yeah, it's my birthday this week too. <sarcasm> Hooray. </sarcasm>

Anyone else feeling down? Yeah, well, you're not alone. 🙁

Hang in there.... That's all I can say.
I (as well as many) go day to day feeling a little bit of the saddness that you are feeling now. I wish that there was some magical answer to make everything ok, but If there is I havn't found it yet. The only thing that I can say is "you are not alone". 😉

peace

I wish I could do a better job of learning/practicing that trick...

Thanks. I know. It just would be nice if even one of the areas could turn around soon...*sigh*

Have you ever heard of this book? Also this is an excellent website to visit.

So what do you actually want in life? What type of job? What type of relationship? What type of friendships? And how do you get those things?

...soon..... Well, if you look at time in a universal scale, soon will be here before you even realize it.... 😀

Go outside, get away from the computer, take a deep breath and really realize that you are not experiencing anything that countless others before you have not gone through, and realize that countless others after you are going to experience the same thing. That's being human...... at least you ARE FEELING!!!
Time will pass and so will your troubles...... "you are not alone"😉

peace

for the past 5-10 minutes ive been sitting here tryning to write up a post...words fail me for some odd reason when i try and write all that is on my mind. but i guess a part of what i want to say is that im in that place too...and its good that you guys are at least letting things out(all of you who are talking about it...whether its in ATOT or to a friend or family or anyone else for that matter) and not just holding everything in and moping around. ive been through it...not a fun feeling. but after a certain point, there's not much you can do...just kinda have it to let it pass...work through it...and become a stronger person.
i know this doesn't really relate to Dubb's situation, but i think it does to you Armoth. i wish i had more positive things to say but seeing as how im in the same place, that is all i can muster up at this point.
to those who are at a low point in their lives...hang in there...once down..the only place you can go is up
for those who are at one of their high points...savour the moment for tomorrow things could take the turn for the worst

:beer:s all around

[i guess words didn't fail me after all🙂]
