hey, hello :)\nseems like you know you have some issues to overcome, i say you are almost there!\ndon't be miserable. everyone goes through this kind of emotions @ least once in our lifetime.\ni know this feeling too. sometimes, you feel so empty, miserable & unworthy. and every time,when you try to take 1 step forward, you end up taking 2 steps backward.\ntry to start a routine of exercizing, mix with positive people & read joke books.\ndon't ever indulge in self-pity & regrets. the darkest hours are just before dawn. life is a grindstone; and whether it grinds a man down or polishes him depends on what stuff he's made of.\nif you really look around you, everyone has problems too. what makes them happy is that they try to overcome their problems one @ a time.

That's just how life is, unfortunately. Just gotta take it one day at a time though. Try to find the good that eventually comes out of a bad situation.

Each day at the end of the day, write down 5 things that you are thankful for.  It doesn't matter how small or big the things are.  If someone you love, smiled at you, that is a good thing.  If you get a perfect parking spot, that is a positive thing.  Focus on what is positive in life.  Believe in your higher power and that everything happens for a reason.  Sometimes negativity brings lessons that we need to learn even when it feels bad.  Try to find the good even in the bad things.  Trust that your higher power will see you through all bad and good events.

Putting everything into perspective.  Find people that can relate to your situation and talk to those around you about your/their feelings.  Realize that what happens is not in your control.  But the way you respond to illness is up to you.  Try to be loving and caring when things are hard, but remember to be aware of the good times that come around.  Don't let any negativity overtake positive moments.

Sometimes life give people bad turns.  All we can do is try to learn from and understand what is happening and why it is happening.  Just remember that with some time things will get better.  They always do.  It sounds like you are in a hole.  Just dig yourself out of it.  When you do, you can look back and see what you came through and then you will be able to use what you have learned to encourage someone else.\n\nTrust me...I am going through something very difficult right now, but I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Sometimes I get very sad and angry and all that, but I am just trying to tunnel my through with the hopes that things will get better.  I believe they will.\n\nIf you want to talk, send me an email.

You have only 1 life, make of it the best you can. You choose your own paths and can change them at anytime. Things might seem down for you now, but they will get better.Take things 1 day at a time. Set a goal and praise yourself for a job well done. Write each one down each day and then look back and see just how much positive you have done for yourself and others. Even if its just the smallest thing like help an older lady or gave a helping hand to a neighbor, you are giving and making others happy that's the best feeling in the world.That makes life worth living. If you want to be loved then you will need to learn to love yourself, respect yourself. You are better then this. Make every moment count , life is precious and a true gift , don't waste yours. You are here for a reason we all are.

Try putting post it notes around your house that you'll read. On these notes, put positive things about yourself. Start telling yourself when you wake up and before bed that you are a wonderful, smart person and you deserve happiness. The mind is a powerful thing. If you believe it, then its reality. So constantly telling yourself positive things should help give your self-esteem a boost. On another note, don't keep people around you that are negative. Start trying to find a silver lining in everything. examples...\nYour car won't start that morning...at least it failed at home, and not while you were out and about!\nIts raining on a day you planned outside activities...gives you a chance to read a good book or see a movie.\nA person you love died....at least they are no longer in pain.\nA person you really liked dumped you...better to know now than before marriage and a painful divorce.\n If you wake up every morning and try to be a confident, happy, positive person, one day you'll wake up and no longer be trying. It'll just come naturally. Its all about what you want, and how hard you are willing to work for it. And not letting people take your power from you. Others can only make you sad or upset if YOU allow them to. Life is all about how you spin it.

Its about mind set.You have to accept all the good that life has to offer.You have to believe and know that only good is going to come your way.Sure there is going to be a few bumps in the road but go with it.Its just a bump.A positive out look will always land you in a better place than a dark negative view of things.Put yourself around positive people and avoid negativity in any form.Life is an adventure and the way you look at it will shape it for the good or the bad it's your choice.

Sometimes when people complain about the day or the weather I just say 'You're alive aren't you?'. I know that life gets hard but for me just knowing that God loved me enough to allow me to be alive. Maybe begin to appreciate the 'little things'. Like being able to walk, talk, breathe, sing, see, run, eat, laugh, have a roof over your head if its a shack or a mansion. Sometimes you have to force yourself to look for things to appreciate about life. And the simplest is 'at least you're not dead'. I know its cliche but everything happends for a reason. Don't mistake though, you may think 'what she talking about, what has she been through'. Believe me I have been through things and I have just come to the understanding that we need to appreciate what we do have, we need to think positive that everything does really happen for a reason. It is hard to see peopel suffering. I just pray for them and if I can help I try to.

WOW! you sure what a lot don't you? There is no way that a human being can always be happy, just like there is no way that you can always be sad. You can have a general good outlook on life and try to be happy with the situation that you are in. If you live a honest, decent life where you try your best you will find happiness.  If you help your fellow humans by volunteering of your time, talents and/ or money you will find happiness. Thinking of and helping others lets you know that your situation could be a lot worse.  In turn this makes you thankful for what you have.  If you try to always find happiness through materialistic things that you own, you are doomed to always be unhappy for the most part.  There is always something new and better around the corner. If you spend  some of your free time with family and friends ,you will find happiness.  You sound very young and unsure of yourself.  Be proud of what and who you are.  God bless you and Good luck!

Hard to answer specifics when there aren't any - but life is ALWAYS worth living! No matter how bad things are, they always get better; even when things are SO bad that you can't imagine how they can possibly improve - they do. Trust me I know of what I speak.\nTry to think back to some incident earlier in your life that you thought was the end of the world - you got through it - and it doesn't seem half so dreadful now, does it? Whatever you are going through now - just persist and you WILL emerge the other side stronger, wiser and ready to face lifes other challenges.\nI wish you all the very best and hope you can bring yourself to believe what I say, even if you can't believe me now - trust me and you'll see I'm right! :o)
