Find new things, groups, experiences etc... to occupy your time.  I love change.  I get very antsy and bored quickly.  I constantly change my activities and interests in order to compensate for this.  Constantly find new projects, groups for your kids, write a book.  Whatever interests you.  Only you can determine what will make you happy.  Maybe a new degree and a career change.  Explore your interests!

Right now i'm in that same situation. You have to learn to let go of all the bad negativity. That doesn't help when you hold everything inside. You have to learn to express yourself better. If you have a best friend or a real close friend. Share almost everything with them. If things bother you that people do let them know. Don't stress over the little things. There is a way to be happier all the time even if it's not you, but it will take some work. You have to look deep inside of you and wthink to yourself why do I act the way I do??

If you're happy then don't worry about them..they'll get theirs eventually....if you're not happy with yourself then think about why and see what you can do to change that.

I'll always reward myself with little present, spend myself to watch moving "egg: funny movie, meaning full movie", get a close friend go traveling...etc. but what important is yourself must think positively, make yourself happy, do the thing that can make yourself happy. if you can switch your mood positively. go to find a good book to "clean" your sad & lonly heart. Be happy, coz there r still someone care about you.

The only person that can help you out of this situation is you. You have a mind set that everyone is leaving you behind and is going on with there own lives getting married gettin wraped up in there jobs. You should find what makes you happy and try not concentrating on what the people around you are doing. Be your own person.. and try to find the little things that make you happy. It also sounds like you might be a litte depressed... talk to some one if you can to help you release what your feeling inside.

I was out of work for a while and it was awful. I was so broke and so bored. I hope you will find something soon. Just don't give up and start hanging out. That is the slow road to more unhappiness.

Mmmmm Everyone has a right to be happy, if your not happy fix it.   Either Love her and leave her.  Or Get counseling if you feel its worth saving.   I guess it depends on how much you love her and how much you would do, to get things back the way they were.

I have been there, I truly have.  \n\nYou need to understand that your happiness is a decision YOU make.  You cannot rely on others to MAKE you happy.  This is a common problem in humans. If you let the actions (or inactions) of others effect your level of happiness, then you will find youself disappointed most of the time.\n\nAccept that people are basically good, but selfish and self-centered.  This is a truth best learned young.\n\nStart finding things that make you happy.  If you like a certain hobby, do it more.  Find others who also enjoy your hobby.  \n\nFind a social group with interests similar to yours.  A Church or other group where you surround yourself with other people is big.  And it takes your mind off of your own problems.\n\nFurthermore, if you are healthy, take on a good and safe exercise program.  Go to a gym, and meet other people there as well.  Get your exercise, and enjoy the new friends you might find there. \n\nThe key is to take your mind off of your unhappiness and focus on the positive things in life.  I promise you, if you don't you will cause more serious psychological, but also manifest physical problems as well, and this is a waste of a good life... YOURS>\n\nFinally, seek professional help from a person who specalizes in depression, since you would be better served by them than people on this forum.  Even though we mean well, we can't help you from "HERE".\n\nYou MUST act and take your life back.  Don't just give in to depression.\nGood luck..  and stay positive.

Spend time with your close friends and tell them whats on your mind.  They are guarenteed to be very supportive and do what they can to help you out.  Being with people you have laughs or a good time with will easily make you feel better than sitting in a dark room brooding.  Basically you need to be out and active, have exposure to the sun, start looking at other guys that may help.  And if that doesn't help time will.  Over time you're guarenteed to let it go and move on.  Just remember that this isn't the end of everything good and fun, something else or somebody else will run into you that will give you enough pleasure to be yourself again.

Find something you do really well, and do it often. (For me, it was singing and martial arts.) \n\nSmile at strangers. It's rewarding when they smile back.\n\nThink only good thought about yourself. (I know, it's corny, but it works).\n\nOnly listen to positive, uplifting music.\n\nKnow that God loves you everyday, no matter what. He created you for a purpose. Find it.\n\nGet plenty of exercise.....it releases happy endorphines and makes you feel better.

if you feel this way often, you should get professional help from a psychologist or a psychiatrist, the latter is a dr. who can prescribe anti-depressants if necessary--a psychologist can listen and guide you or offer you ways to deal with your saddness or ways to change some outlooks of yours to erase your saddness- get some help ASAP--also, consider talking to a minister, or priest, or rabbi who has some background in counseling. get help ASAP so you can feel better and enjoy life and not be sad any more--good luck to you !!!

Simple - you tell yourself that you deserve it!\nYouve been faced with crap circumstances in the past - and you came through it - its made you a stronger person and now you can take a deep breath and realise that life is for living and enjoying!\nYou are totally entitled to being happy - prob more than most depending on your past circumstances - you've been lucky enough to have a great kid and now an even better boyfriend - sit back - appreciate and enjoy life and make the most of it!\nWishing you all the best and a continued happiness! xx

Maybe go on a vacation. Ive found that when i get frustrated or even work too much and hit that ceiling it helps to take a few days off and go out of town. Or stay at a hotel in town somewhere that you can totally relax and not worry about anything...errands...phone calls... anything. Then after at least a day evaluate why youve hit the ceiling. Is it the work? or the office...do you still like what you do? or could you see yourself being happy doing something else.? If you find that you are truley unhappy and not just irritated then start looking for something else. \nGood luck.

i used to... but not anymore..because i found that there is still an opportunity for me to make things get better and here i am i get what i want..get what i deserve and what i wished for. its just a matter of time to get over it and do other things that's is much more better than hating your own life. people hate their life just because they did something wrong or something bad or horrible things had happened or something that made them felt useless or hopeless...that they regret of living.. but as time passes quickly..they will get over it soon... just try to find a way that makes you feel better then everything will be fine... :)

I'm usually happy, but right now I'm slightly depressed because of things happening in my life that I have no control over.
