  1. go to church! turn 2 god. he will help u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  2. Call a friend or loved one now.

  3. if you feel this way for real....call someone you trust and tell them what you have told us

  4. everyone gets like that sometimes, maybe go outside and have a walk or go get some ice cream by yourself or with a friendd

  5. im pretty sure its depression, and one thing i learned that can help that is go to good friends for comfort.

  6. Don't hurt yourself, everyone has their ups and lows. Plus hurting yourself wont solve anything it will just leave scars.

    Don't worry everything corrects its self. Example: Money for instance, money doesn't stay the same. One year you might be loaded, then the next you could spend it all and be broke.

    By tomorrow I guarantee you won't feel like this, its just mood swings.

  7. pray

  8. I know how you feel. I myself am having an awful day. The best thing to do is take everything one day at a time. You should probably see a therapist that way you have someone to talk to regularly. If it is an emergency than you should contact a suicide hotline or call a friend or family member for support. Hope you feel better.

  9. sunday nights......ay ay ay. go to the movies, make your self some coffee, take a nice warm bath and play your favorite music to get you out of the depressed mood. Don't linger on it for too long, It's not healthy. Wish you best of luck. Be happy, smile.

  10. call someone u like much or do something u love

    chat

    or sleep :)

  11. Life is worth living. Talk to someone close to you. Go to church and pray.

  12. first of all you should stop thinking so much about your self. think of him. tomorrow get a drs appointment and get a anti depressant .

  13. Take some sleeping pills that helps when you cant handle yourself. It helps you slip into sleep.

  14. Think about the things you're going to do to your fiance when he comes home again ;-)

    Think of all the good times

    Watch something funny

    Listen to some upbeat music

  15. read the purpose driven life by rick warren.  I used to feel like that too, now get that book RIGHT NOW, AND READ IT!!  :)

  16. Get involved with other things to keep you occupied while he is away.  Going down to your local pet shelter or Humane Society and volunteering is an awesome way to brighten your outlook.  You will be spending time with pets who need your love and attention and that will be extremely rewarding for you.

  17. if you have any freads you can be with then be with them and go to the doctor  

  18. i know this sounds dumb but try to have a good laugh it helps aLOt i swear

  19. Just try to busy yourself tonight. Maybe tomorrow when you wake up things will be better for you. Don't ever give up.  

  20. well whatever you do, dont hurt yourself. i started cutting about six months ago and you get addicted to it. its horrible and i couldnt see that until i was forced to quit and now i can see that i made a wrong choice. with any situation, you just have to wait it out. its like falling or getting punched in the face. theres nothing you can do about the pain except wait until its better.its life, sadly and no matter what is going on or how much it hurts you just have to wait it out. this sounds weird but sometimes talking to a complete stranger helps. if you want someone to talk to, my email is cowgirlxx29@aim.com  or my screen name is-cowgirlxx29

  21. I'm sorry girl, you really need to express your feelings and this is a good way to just let it out.  You really need to tell your close friends and family how you feel.  I know a lot of people think if you go to the doctor people will think you are crazy, but there really are medicines that help with this.  Don't give up, everything will be ok.  Your fiance will come back to you and everything will be ok.  It's ok to miss someone and make you feel bad, but never give up!  Everything will be ok, good luck.

  22. I've been there and believe me you will find happier days if you don't let yourself get caught in self pity.  What is most important is to find out what is making you so unhappy and counseling actually helps.  I have always been a know it all but when I went to counseling with an open ear I learned a lot about myself especially that I was not a know it all and doing this helped me focus on setting a better course for my life. Its been wonderful since learning how I've been able to show my character and strength to deal with issues and become a positive thinker.  I still have tough days but the thoughts I had back then never even creep into my daily life and I thought those thoughts were normal to the point it was continual. I realize now I was sick and my state of mind in the wrong direction.  I've turned it around and you can do it too, just go to a place and ask for help because you will learn that people actually love helping others.  This cycle of life is really a beautiful thing to experience.

  23. All of these previous suggestions are good. Calling loved ones, praying (though, I'm not encouraging you to swing to religion if you're not ready).

    But what I would recommend is looking back, at how far you've come in your life.  You have a fiance, you're alive . . . :D I can't quite make any other assumptions because you didn't say anything, but I think you're a good person at heart - considering the fact you said you'd never have thoughts of hurting yourself.  Just think of things to cheer you up! And yes, if it helps, pray or call a loved one, just to reassure yourself that yes, you are okay, and yes, you aren't alone.  I, myself, sometimes need that reassurance, so I end up calling my aunt (who has been there for me since I was six) and watching a movie.  Appreciate even the littlest things - like watching a movie or something relaxing - and you'll feel loads better.  Trust me. :D

  24. Breathe. Do something you like to do, get your mind off of things, call some friends, go and and do something, go to the salon or something, read a good book, call him and tell him you love him a lot. You need some company you don't have to feel you need to hurt yourself. Rent a funny movie and make lots of popcorn and curl up and watch. Relax and have tea or soup and entertain youself, the best medicine is a smile and a laugh! ahah.  

  25. Listen to me! You will not hurt yourself. You will not even THINK ABOUT IT! Alright? Because you seem like you have too many people that love and care about you. You have WAY too much to live for. Don't give up. If you give up, then what hope does it give the rest of us. Should everyone just "give up" too? NO! I don't thinks so. So you stop thinking that way, and remember all the AMAZING things about your life. Okay?

    GOOD! =D

    Hope I helped. <3

  26. Hon, call up a friend or someone that you really can trust to get your feelings out into the open. You need to talk to someone instead of hurting yourself. If you are thinking about hurting yourself then you need some medical help and some counseling. Things can be difficult at times and that is what life is all about. Instead of focusing on your feelings, try to get yourself into learning a new hobby such as crochet,other crafts and etc. Call up a friend and go see a funny movie and have some pop corn and something to drink. it helps to get your feelings out into the open. Find help :) thing will be okay.

  27. You need to know that if you give up, you're not letting only yourself but also other people down. your fiance is in the army and being in that position is really difficult. Everyone can understand that you are also in a bad position. Its not your fault that you are having bad thoughts, everyone has their weak moments. At one point i got really sad and i did really stupid and harmful things to myself and now that i think about it, it wasn't worth it and very foolish. keep your head up, go out and hangout with friends, thats how i stopped feeling so lonely and it kept my mind off my problems. i hope you feel better, im a lot happier now, i still get flashbacks but who doesnt? you'll be fine, relax :) & know that your fiance is thinking about you too.

  28. Listen to robotdrivers up there

    "i know this sounds dumb but try to have a good laugh it helps aLOt i swear"

    Laughing is a great way to feel better.  Even fake laughing, forcing yourself to laugh in the mirror will probably make you laugh for real.  Go to youtube and watch a comedian or some bloopers.  Once you're feeling a little better I would try to talk to someone close and work through whatever is troubling you for a more lasting improvement.

  29. "This too shall pass". . . A saying my Grandma always tells me. I am my own victim of self injurous behavior and I feel like such an asss because now that I look back on those times where I felt like giving up, I laugh.

        I have maintained strength somehow and persevered to who I am today. Without these crappee "lows" or sadness, you would never know happieness. In other words, in order for there to be beautiful rainbows, you have to endure a little rain.

        Endure the rain, you shall see your rainbow.

                                NEVER GIVE UP.

    People love you and only want the best for you!

  30. i know how you feel.

    i have had those thoughts alot also, but think about other people. your fiance would be crushed, and so would your love ones. please, please, do not hurt yourself. i know its so hard because you are going through a tough time in your life, but call a loveed one, turn on a good movie or tv, and remember your past and how great it has been. i am not religios at all but if praying helps, then pray. take a deep breath. in and out. over and over again. make yourself hot coco and relax. go to a spa, or seek professional help. as awkward as it mite be, they are there to help you.

    good luck, and please, please, dont hurt yourself.

  31. You may have heard this before, but try to find something to appreciate. Anything.

    Think of something that makes you smile, or something that never fails you.

    Taking a moment to feel gratitude for some small, good thing in your life can help take the mental emphasis on unhappiness away,if for just a moment at first.

    Find something else to focus on.

    Think that this is tonight, you are feeling bad.

    Hurting yourself won't make anything better.If nothing else, be grateful you have the internet to vent on and reach out to anonymously.
