Find your motivation, and find your purpose, the best but most elusive thing in this world is purpose. Most people don't believe there is a purpose, those that do would say its something superficial. I ask God myself and found purpose over time myself. It wasnt always like this, i became extremely s...

It is sad to say but just remember that you have comfort in moving on and finding new friends, i have had more friendships and lost more friends than you and i have had hot dinners. Worthless friends are easy to tell, mainly because of self indulgence. Good friends will generally care for you and gi...

The best thing you can do is bear the suffering, i think giving birth to children is the least of a persons worries, the harder part is helping them grow up. The best thing is once they become independent, because they start supporting you, and can really help you in your life. Unity in family is th...

Hello everybody. I am a new member I have been in depression for nearly 10 years. In that time, I lived with it maybe because it was not too serious. Until now, I go to work and have financial burden, it goes much worse than I think. I start to think about the reason why I exist, I feel isolated ev...

That is not a good position to be in, simply because friends are supposed to be there for you and provide a secondary support system. Your family will be the primary support system, Your online friends and other people will be the third support system. You have to exhaust these options in try differ...

It is okay to feel blank sometimes, the problem is if you let these thoughts and feelings take over you. Negativity will always affect you and me but we should not give it room to work.

Hi everyone. I came across a book called Your Body's Many Cries for Water (2008). Protocol: Sprinkle salt on your tongue & drink water (1/2 body weight in ounces) daily. Salt I'm using is coarse unrefined sea salt, NO anti-caking agents. **I've been doing this & my mood has improved a great...

Hi this my first post and I’m quite nervous. I’ve been on anti-depressants for a year now and yet I still feel worthless. I find the only way to stop the hurt is turning to alcohol but as I’m going through a divorce and living with my parents again, they want me to leave as soon as possible. I don’...

It is not wrong to feel happy, you will face adversity in your life from somebody and negativity works the hardest in peoples life. Suicide is not the solution it is more of a problem. You can fight back on change the areas where you feel you are lacking. Free will is a good thing always.

If you do what is right you will be a good mother. A good mother doesnt just support their kids but also gives fine tuning and rebuke too. Good luck.

I think I read it or heard somewhere: "There is nothing wrong with the depression, but our attitude toward it". The medical and pharmaceutical establishments pathologize every situation where someone feels unmotivated, anti-social and sad for extended period of time. Why wouldn't someone ...

All the best to her and her life. God bless her. God bless america.

Since about year 7 ( I was 11) I was bullied a lot. I didn't take it to heart, It got worse though out the year, until year 8. I...

God grant me the strength to change things I can; The Grace to accept the things I can't; And the wisdom to know the difference. But what if, no matter how hard I try, I can't change; And what if that's simply unacceptable; Where is the wisdom in being different? Huh? What about that? Huh God? I be...
