    I know I usually don't post here but I just need somewhere to post this and just need someone to listen. So get ready...

    I guess I should start off by saying, I think I'm feeling sad. A little depressed. I don't know why I am, I just feel so down and unhappy and I don't know how to cheer myself up. Although I'm guessing I could be sad for a lot of reasons...

    Recently my friends have been problems of their own. Boyfriends and low self-esteem so I've tried to help them. Though anytime I try to help them, it's like I didn't say anything at all. It doesn't help and its just..... D: I feel useless

    I'm also starting to feel lonely now. I haven't talked to my boyfriend in ages and it feels like my friends want less and less to do with me. Anytime I try to talk about my problems towards my friends, they have problems of their own so they can't worry about me. So I'm trying to help myself, but I don't know what to do to make me happier.

    I'm sorry for complaining to you guys but I needed to tell someone. Help, please?

    Thanks. And I know it probably does happen to everyone else. It sucks though. I am listening to music and it's distracting me so I guess that sorta works....

    Don't feel so upset. I've felt the same, just last week. I got all upset b/c I thought I couldn't help Mike w/ his problems. He said I was helping, but it's hard to change. Just keep trying and don't get so depressed. I promise you it will work out fine.

    Don't ever sleep in and get up early.
    Too much rest can cause depression.

    I have the same problem. My friends are always talking about who banged who, and what happened last weekend. And well, I have problems happening with me. With my moodyness, and how bad I am in my grades, I'm sorta worried with my EOC's coming up. So I'm really stressing. But don't worry, keep your head high, and keep going. Breath in, and breath out.
    Maybe try drawing, listening to music, singing, video games, or any hobbies you like, to get yourself distracted. And maybe, just write down your problems on a sheet of paper, to get everything out. And when you're done writing, you'll feel better, promise me. I felt lots better when I do that. Don't worry, hon. You've been there for me when I had that problem with my ex boyfriend, so I'm here for you whenever. Just PM me or IM me, and I'll get there. I'll listen, I'm sure of it.

    You need to go to a Therapist, if that's optional for you.
    Or you could try to talk to your boyfriend and tell him what
    your feeling. Thus you can't always rely on your friends to help
    you in your problems. They have lives to.

    Thus talking to your Parents about why you feel so lonely is very
    reasonable. I think you should spend time with yourself, and tell everyone
    and everything to give you a little space for you to think out your problems.

    It's not optional for me to go to a therapist. And I have tried talking to him. He's just not able to. I try not to rely on my friends and I do have time for myself and I spend it, but I've been having so much more now that its depressing. I realize my friends have lives, and thats why I'm trying to help myself and not bother them.

    Thanks for trying though.


    Thanks. I tried writing it all down and it sorta helped.

    I feel kind of the same way too. The friends I used to be so close to seem to be drifting more and more as of late. They've moved on to different people, and I think that they've moved on from the times we used to share. The way I'm helping myself through it is by still retaining communication with them, but doing the same thing -- moving on to different friends. I guess as we get older, old friends drift apart.

    Thanks guys. I'm actually feeling much better. I've been listening to music and writing a lot of it down.

    And to whomever de-repped me, if I sounded rude, I didn't mean to sound rude. In all honesty, I appreciated everyone's input. D:


    I guess that is true. I've tried talking with different people but also being with my old friends. But I think we are drifting D:

    There are times we all feel 'invisible' and where well, we just aren't making much progress with things. Also, sometimes it feels like people are drifting away. In life, sometimes people do drift away and move on, but there are also times where people are around and not going anywhere in the immediate.

    Thing thing I would suggest here is that you value your friendships and have some good times with the friends you have. Also, be amiable and you'll meet new friends. There will also be some very close friends you can have and those are special. Life moves like water and in a way I tend to think of myself as a fish in the water, where I meet others at times and we pal around, sometimes even making a whole school, and at other times, I roam on alone flowing onward. If you value and treasure those people in your life when things are good, you won't forget them and some you can hang onto. Those you can't, well..at least there are memories. This is a personal thing to well, adjust to and figure out it's just part of life.

    Sometimes friends get hurt or upset and we can try to help and involve ourselves but they don't seem so keen on it. When a person is down and not reaching out, they are in a personal battle with themselves. Sometimes that battle must go on inside them and those people just need time to sort things out. We as friends to them may feel useless, but the thing we can do sometimes that is best is just to be there and not say anything or try to force them to talk about it. Instead try doing some other things with them and well, just being there. Maybe that will help you some. Tell them if they ever do want someone to listen, you will, but then let it go and try doing some better more fun stuff with them.

    Maybe, since your friends are down and you are, you should try to not talk about the problems but instead do some other things together to get your minds off them. As for your bf, why can't you talk to him if he is your bf? Sounds kind of odd.

    I hope things will get better for you. Hang in there.

    It feels like they are drifting away a bit. I know it happens but I'll miss them if they do because I'm really close to them. I'm trying to talk to others but also trying to keep in touch with them.

    I understand and I think I will just leave them alone for awhile to let them to sort out their problems. It seems to be working and they are getting better. They are also talking with me more now. Maybe they've stopped drifting.

    Long distance makes it quite difficult especially since his dad is limiting him on the phone. I know it's not his fault and I have to deal with it, but its now been about a week since I've last talked to him and I miss him.

    And thanks, some things are getting better.
