i had someone who made me want to live and believed in me and loved me and when i lost him i quit caring we were in a relationship and then we split and he was angry he got engaged moved away came back a year later comes to me and tells me he broke his marriage off and hes thinking about leaving again and i still love him and always have and i haven t moved on but he made me feel like he wanted me to ask him to stay here with me but i would feel selfish asking him something like that but i need him here with me and im not even sure if he still loves me and im so confused about the entire situation

Answer 1

You need something to live for, to believe in. You need something that means the world to you to be in your life. Do you have friends, loved ones, you can draw close to. Try praying and seeking God. It sounds like you don't know what you want from life, that should be your mission. To find what you want out of life. Good luck ~be blessed~

Answer 2

I pout and sulk and listen to the saddest, most melancholy CDs that I've got.

I can do this for hours.

Then I get bored with being in the same mood for so long and listen to some jazz.

I can do the same thing and get faster results by playing the piano for myself, too.

I know you are sick of hurting and feeling this way, but try to be cool. You are most of the way over the mountain. I'll tell you what's on the other side, what you've nearly reached: "Adult compassion."

I want to make you feel better by saying that if you whine cutely enough and ask the right people, they'll care, but you're right --they don't. A couple of monks and hermits and ascetics care, but they are even better at hiding than you are, so they won't be found.

Push on anyway, even when exhausted and with your emotions burned out. It's worth it.

Answer 3

One of my best freinds is in your situation. So my feelings are coming from an emotionally involved state of mind. There is always someone who cares about you. Undoubtedly. Whether you know it or not, someone truly loves you. Your life is important, and there are people you affect in good ways and sometimes bad daily. More often than not, you affect someone positively. Unless you hate people and want to make thier lives miserable. I dont know you personally. To be specific in my answer. Look at what makes you not care, it's usually pain. And find someone anyone to help you through it. Even strangers. What made you happy before this season in your life? Or has life in general been difficult for you. I know i've lost my job, about to lose my apartment, and as i mentioned one of my best freinds is in a seriously wounded mental/spiritual state. Life for me has been really crappy. But here's what keeps me hopeful, God. He helps me when i think life is just not goin my way. Sorry if this is long but your question has no short simple answer. I'll keep you in my prayers. Dont give up. Find God is simply asking Him for the help, reading a bible and praying that somehow someway the pain will be eased. He answers. He is always caring. And He does love you.

Answer 4

You can't make other people feel a certain way. You can care about yourself though. As an teenanger/ adult you first have to love yourself before you can be loved by others. Loving yourself is to be proud of who you are and to be content with your life. Remember God does love all of us, but He's not going to magically fix everything for you. You have to work hard at improving your situation with His guidance. Sit down and write a pros and cons list. One side of the paper write down things that make you happy or positive things that you always desired to try. On the other side write down things or people that bring you down. Review your list and it should help put things in perspective. Take that information and make a personal plan for yourself. Remove negativity in your life by removing yourself from those situations (if you are a minor and the negativity is in your home speak to your school counselor, don't run away!) Imerse yourself in the positive aspects of life. Make sure you do one enjoyable activity a day. Examples: Visit the library and check out a good book to read, go to the park and feed the ducks, invite someone to go to coffee and chat, draw a picture, or go shopping for a new outfit/ item. Pick yourself up because if you don't have a good support system of family/ friends then it's up to you to do it on your own with God's help. Once you start caring more about yourself and your confidence grows then people will start taking notice to you and caring about you. If things don't improve quickly then seek professional counseling. No one should drag themselves through life feeling so bad. You owe more to yourself than that. Good luck and take care of yourself.

Answer 5

Add some more information. How old are you? Is there anything that you can talk about that makes you not want to live any longer? It might help for others to give you a meaningful answer.

This is a very trivial SOUNDING answer, but helping others in some way - almost any way - gives meaning and purpose to life. Not knowing how old you are, I am not able to suggest anything, but think about ways to help other people - even strangers. You can get good at it and then you feel good about it.

Answer 7

I know how you feel. You feel as if no one cares and you are just the only person in the world that knows you are there. You are trying to fill in an empty place in your heart but cant find what exactlly to fill it with. My best advice is to seek God. He is what you need and are searching for. He is always there for you. Whenever you need someone to talk to, just talk to him, b/c he is always and forever will be there. Please seek professional help but b4 you do that, talk to God. Tell him wha tyou are feeling and how much you need him. Ask him to come into your heart, and forgive you of your sins. And he will be there! Everyday, he watches over you and protects you from all evil. Talk to God, and I guarentee that you will stop feeling suicidal. And you will find a meaning to your life.

Answer 8

Even if you are not suicidal, it may sound like you are a bit depressed. Seek help from friends, family or call you local depression support center. In this case I think a professional would be the best person to answer your questions you might have. Best Wishes

Answer 9

Find love. Somebody that you long for. They will put a fire back into your heart along with a desire not only to live but to be happy. This is only a mid term fix. The fire burns out in 7 years or so.

Answer 10

What to do? Go do something good and help someone else. What goes around comes around. There are a lot of people out there that need your help.
