Over the past few days I have lost a lot. My fiance, a few friends, (including my best friend from childhood) and a few other things. I have nobody to talk to about any of it. (I've always been the shoulder for everyone else to cry on but now that the shoe is on the other foot, nobody wants to be there for me.) I have felt depressed alot of times in my life but it's never been this bad before. I have this feeling I've never had before, this hopeless feeling and I'm really afraid of what I may do. I don't know where to turn to, can anyone tell me what I can do?

I feel for you hon. I'm bi-polar, and when I'm down I get the exact same feeling. When my aunt, whom I loved dearly, died I felt crushed, I felt like the world was going to cave in on me. Now I know that it may feel like it won't get better, but believe me, it does. I'd suggest you seek some counciling, because they are very good at making you feel better about things, and talking about it is usually the best medicine. You've done the right thing by asking for help like this, and if it's any consolation it makes me proud to see anyone have the courage to ask for help. It's not an easy thing to do. So if you want to talk to someone who really does understand what you are going through I may be able to help. My ID in this room is the same for my yahoo e-mail and messenger ID. Even if on messenger is says I'm not online, I may be, I often log on under invisible because I don't want a bunch of spammers bothering me. I hope you get to feeling well, and my heart goes out to you. Oh, and never, never ever resort to using alcohol or any other drug to make you feel better, because it doesn't work. Take it from me, I abused marijuana for years, and years, thinking that it would dull the pain, and it does, but once you lose that buzz you feel even worse than you did before.

There are a lot of chat room support groups. Depression can cause a lot of nasty problems and these folks can help you on the right path as well as just plain listen. It may help to see a mental health professional or you may be able to get counseling on line. Also check the intervention and help lines in the phone books. They aren't just for alcohol and drugs. The worst thing you can do is nothing. We all have bumps in our lives, but we can always find some help somewhere. Good Luck.

My fiance died in 2001 and in 1993 I lost my bio-dad, brother, boyfriend and best friend all in 4 days! I can relate! Right now I am at my dad's work...... but I do have yahoo messenger at my home and I would be more than willing to listen to you and be your friend. My e-mail is lori_brendgard@yahoo.com
Messenger name is : im_a_good_kitty_cat
You can even call me if you need to hear an understanding voice. I will return the call on my bill. I know what it's like to hurt and you should not have to hurt alone. When we talk later I will give you my home phone # okay? YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS!

I think that the best thing for you to do is to Keep a very positive outlook to this situation and this will just make You stronger and help You in the future when there is no one there for You. It is pretty sad that Your always there with Your shoulder but now that Your in need there's nothing there for You..
I am very sorry for Your loses but Always know that there is a reason for everything that happens, eventhough it may not be easy for us..

If you need someone to listen and offer advice or suggestions then feel free to contact me at any of the contacts listed in my profile. I'm not sure what I can say or do but you're asking for a friend and I thought thats what we were all here to be in some way or other.

Hang in there.....the hopeless and fear will fade. Trust in that we all must experience both the ebb and flow life brings us. If you believe in a high power put your trust and your faith in knowing that time heals all wounds and this is in bigger hands than just you. If you want to talk about anything my yahoo id is kwell331

First, take a deep breathe, realize that no one actually stole your soul or your being when they left you. Realize that the reason so many turned to you for advice is because you are so strong. You need to give yourself permission to dream and the permission to do the work to realize your dreams. No one can give you your happiness, that is for you yourself to do. Sounds glib, I know, but I am the one who has had to pick myself up for myself

Have you considered phoning a helpline? If you're in the UK you can try the Samaritans, and even if you're not you can email them at www.samaritans.org . Myabe you know a local one? They may help you to get your thoughts in order and work out how to get yourself out of this rut.
