Lately I'm feeling like a failure in life. I'm in my late 20's by the way. I have close friends and family, but I feel very alone and lost. I don't like my job, and am going through a breakup after a 2 yr relationship. I don't know if these are just normal blues, but I cry suddenly for no reason and am very tired all of the time. Any suggestions on seeing things in a clearer light?

Been there dear...
Try to be positive, talk with your friends that is why they are friends let them be there for you. Also it wouldn't hurt to seek some counseling you may need an anti depressant for right now?
Maybe a talk group can help? Check on a new job. Sounds like maybe you need to way out your pro's and cons and do some NEW things in your life.
Sorry you are feeling down and out but your not alone be near your friends and don't push your own self away...

You are very young, and have many many years ahead of you to find a great job and true happiness. There are some negatives in your life--and I think most people would be sad with an unfulfilling job and a break-up after 2 years, but things will get better. Give yourself a break and allow yourself to be sad, but if it continues for an extended period, I'd suggest seeing if you're suffering from depression which can be treated. Good luck!!

I plead with G-d for an answer or relief. It's very effective to expect help. You might have depression. It's so easy to get drugs for it like Celexa or Wellbutrin or Zoloft. Go to your reg. dr. What else have you got to do. Make an appointment. Go there read some mags in the waiting room and get yourself some help. You are not "a failure." A person cannot be "a failure" because that is a label, and it's impossible to BE a label. Get the book "Feeling Good" by Burns. Check Ebay. It's the best book out there. Feel free to email me. recipespaul@yahoo.com

Your suffering from depression, I have the same thing severe anxiety and depression, everybody has an outlet, the only one I have found for me is writing poetry but other than that you have to find it. If you ever feel that way try and concentrate on something else. Iam a guy and I sometimes cry because there is stuff so horrible that happened in the past, your not the only one. If you need any ideas you know how to contact me.

well you may just being going through depression since the breakup with your ex...you are young and things will get better..i have had this all my life but i know there is plenty in my life to be depressed about...but you can get medication to help if it persists...you may not have to take it for long either...and it does help....try to keep your self busy with your friends and do not dwell on anything unhappy...try to do things for yourself to make you feel better...a new hair do,,, a facial,, new clothes,,,pamper yourself...take a long luxious bath and try thinking things will get better...do not dwell on what you have lost...there must be a reason for your breakup...and think this to will pass and it will pass...but if you stay like this for more than a few weeks i would talk to a doctor and see if they can give you something for depression......take care and hope things get better....

Sounds like depression.I would look for a different job.Forget the ex go out with your friends on the weekend.Do things to make yourself feel sexy.Maybe get a new hairstyle ,start going to the gym.If it's really bad maybe talk to your doctor about it.

I am alone most of the time.. but not sad... I spend my time on my pc talking to people just like you...I don't have time to be sad. nor lonely. Is purely a frame of mind and can be changed just by changing your thoughts away from your self and finding someone else to try to help... Your thoughts are under your control.. don't allow the emotions to take that control away from you.

These are the normal blues. You're just breaking up with your bf of two years, and you don't like your job! I would say to give your local rec center a visit, and join a yoga class, a scrapbooking club, get involved with church or something. Just keep yourself occupied.

I sense you really don't think what is apparently causing it is actually the reason. But you are lost.
If you feel like talking about it... contact centaur1122 on Yahoo! Messenger ..... I may have some answers
