Well are you saved???? Have you ask the Lord Jesus to come into your heart and forgive you of your sins? If not, then that is what you need! If you have and he did save you, maybe you just need to move closer to God! Is there sin in your life that you are not asking God to forgive you for? Are you reading your Bible? Studying? Praying? Going to church? \n\nI know that before I got saved I was not happy at all and then after I got saved I was happy, and I still am, but sometimes I let things get in between me and the Lord and that hinders my happyness.

Well i am happy, and not because some material things make me feel like i do exist or something. My happines comes from within. I understand my limitations, and with that in hand i know that my achievments through life are the reflection of someone who always gives the best of himself.\n\nknowing i do my best everyday makes me happy. What makes you happy?\n\nfind some indicator for evaluating your life. might be how many friends do you have, or how many people have you helped... or how many material things you have! The important thing is that everyone can measure their own happines by setting reasonable indicators. What are yours? what's your happines based on?

Realization is the first step..What you have to ask your self now is, do you enjoy being stuipd? Do you enjoy being a whore? If the answers are yes and you are content, live your life the way you want. If your lifestyle is leaving you feeling empty, sad and full of self loathing, then you need to look at what truly makes you happy. That means you not everyone else.

Well... look around... Do you like what you see? Are you happy for what lessons you have already learned? Are you pleased on what you are able to do for the better of tomorrow? That is all really. If you are happy. If you are pleased on what you have as a past, to put you in your position you are in now, and where it can lean you from your own ambition from knowing that this is your life. And if you are not happy with anything, well that is something that needs to be worked out within yourself, because you should be happy for everything in your life. Why should there be a reason for you to be un-happy? Are you missing anything? Do you have patience to take the time and effort to get to that point in obtaining that goal? Everything is in your hands. Just remember to take everything as it is and be happy for it. Don't expect anything. Things will flow much better if you do that. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Hi - I'm sorry that you feel that way. It sounds like you may need to talk with someone professional. There are so many things to be done that can help you to feel more social, or to alleviate that "empty" feeling. I hope you mention these feelings to someone near you who is kind and very caring.

Most often people feel lonely because they haven't learned to love themselves very much. Often it's because they spend so much time trying to please others or to be all things to all people that they don't take the time to learn what THEY need themselves. It's hard, but you need to learn to be happy with yourself, about yourself, and by yourself. If you can do this, then you will not find yourself lonely, or needy. In turn, others won't be turned off by you because you seem lonely, and sad, and needy. You will suddenly appear more interesting and desirable to someone else. It may sound contradictory, but I think you will find many people will agree with me.

In life we have all kinds of this happening to us that we do not understand.  Money is not what you make you happy.  Just about every one is going thru some type of financial problems.  If nothing else know that you are loved and not alone.  So what you don't have a lot money, think about this way, we people sleeping on the streets don't have money either, but you have a warm bed to sleep in every night.  I can say these things because I understand what you are feeling.  One thing that really helped me was I had to put myself on a very strict budget and not sway from it for anyone or anything, and guess what it is working out fine.  Look inside yourself and see that you have so much more than money.

I think a lot of people feel that way from time to time! I have felt that way when I was having anxiety or depression. It is kind of an detach feeling, or a feeling of unreality. If you are feeling this way often than you might want to talk to your doctor! \n\nI hope you feel better soon!!! Best wishes to you!

Do you feel like there is something missing in your life? Odd to answer a question with a question, but think about it. Yes you have friends and family around you that care for and love you. But is there that ONE person, or even just some one a little extra special? You could also just b going through a really tough time right now. And I know that nothing can suck more than having a bad day and coming home to an empty house(and cats don't count as some one to come home to.) If you want to stop feeling alone then don't be alone. Surround yourself with fun and up lifting people. Do a girls night, don't eat alone and don't keep to yourself. You're feeling down, so tell those people who care and I promise they will help. Who know you better than the people that you love and care for? So it's those people who could probably offer the most help and support in a down time for you. We all have those times when we're feeling down, so you're never alone when it comes to feeling down.

I would go to your primary care physician and be completely honest as you have been here.  It could be depression without your knowing it, it could also be hormonal or loads of other things.  Wouldn't you rather just feel better?  I went, and am so grateful I did.

Very kind of you to ask us Ladies, my Son. It's normal to feel depressed or as if life is passing you by. You're 22 years old and it seems that you have it all right where you want it. You just don't know what to do with it. Be happy that you have what you do. If you continue to be unhappy go and volunteer at a soup kitchen or a shelter. Trend towards doing something useful rather than sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. Give money to a library or to a humane society. Do something for someone else. You don't need medication. You need a purpose. You have "things" but you need to give of yourself to appreciate them. Good luck, child. I hope you find what you're looking for.

I am full of gratitude for my life.  I have more than I deserve.  When I imagine the true sorrow and deprivation that so many souls face on this earth I am filled with shame for even the thought of being ungrateful.  If however you mean by your question am I pleased with myself and satisfied that I am all that I should be?  The answer is NO!  I have much to aspire for.  Life is a journey.  I hope I continue to see the wonder of each step until the end.  Is my life perfect?  Hardly!  Does it offer challenges?  Yes, thank God.  Would I change some things if I could?  Sure.  But, I choose to work on those things that I can change, rather than waste my life worrying about the things I have no power over.

I have had several times in my life such as yours. The best thing to do is to try to look at the good things in your life rather than the bad. Life has many ups and downs, however the downs stick out more than the good so it is important to try to focus on those things that make you happy. Time tells all and things will surely get better. Your attempts to make them better will only help along the way.
