life help: I need help sometimes. - Help.com

I need help sometimes.

I don’t know how to begin telling you what i feel inside. Things are beginning to bottle up and i don’t know what to do about it. Please don’t ask what is going on. I am not very good telling people about things. When i give, i give my all. But certainly not today.

And this post may totally sound so useless to you, but it means life to me as of the moment. Bear me with me this time.

Some words of encouragement would do if you’ve got time.Thank you.

I know what you mean its not always that its the telling the feelings part thats hard trust me its the finding the person u can trust and always trust and be comfrotable with if you find that person then it’ll just come out at first hard but then as the days go on it’ll be natural. You just gotta keep hope that you’ll find somebody to trust that is worth trusting.
I’m goin through a similar thing and i’m not necesarily “seein the light at the end of the tunnel” or any of that but I got my hope and i know i will eventually

It’s a hard thing to do, but see if you can star letting things out. If you don’t feel comfortable talking about the situation, try talking about how you feel. There is somebody out there who cares enough to listen, and when people listen, it’s easier to let things out.

I’ve had moments where I feel that way and I don’t know how or where to start, but I know that it does help to talk, even if I say nothing at all. Take care and feel better.

Sometimes life gets to heavy, so heavy that you feel the life being squashed right out of you and no one can see it but you, you ask for help but the words you speak are silent and the people you see are blind. You feel lost in the void un noticed and un missed and the only thing you can feel is the heart gripping pain of being so alone….. Thats just my take on the moment.
Everyone will have a different view, I don’t know why you feel the way you do but I do wish and hope that feeling goes soon and you will feel better.

I’m not sure but I think I feel the same a lot. You feel your going to explode and your spiraling down with no way to stop. I’ve only found this site a few days ago but I think it might be helping. Sometimes you just need to know there is someone, anyone out there.

Your kind words mean a lot to me. I am normally a happy person and things have turned up side down lately. There could be explanation why. But words are just too complicated at this time. I want my smile back. I need some magic to do it for me. I could cry some but they won’t solve it, would it?

Your post says so little yet so much at the same time. Whatever may have you down or burdened, step back for a bit, indulge in something that makes you happy so you aren’t thinking of the other things and enjoy yourself. You have to come first in your life ….. find something to cheer yourelf up & hopefully that’ll help you find ways to help yourself through the not so great times.

Lilies,
There is always time for someone like you. I am sorry you are feeling down, and there are lots of very kind and thoughtful things written above my comment, but I thought how sad that Lilies would think that I wouldn’t have time for her.

Of all the people on this site I have never seen an unkind word come from you, you are always thoughtful, sweet, kind and generous with your words of encouragement. You always seem to stay above any kind of nonsense and I admire you for that. I hope that you realize how cared for you are.

Whatever you are going through it will pass, and you will find your smile again!
Sending you thoughts of peace and love!
S

My point is to have you reflect on all of your favorite things and take notice of all things pleasant. Look for the things that make you smile. Acknowledge them when they happen. Find something simple to enjoy and enjoy it.

Email me if you want to talk… I am always here for you.

(((hugs))) Hi Sweetie!!! Hope you are feeling better by now????

One of the best things about us humans is our ability to bounce back from things. We can be totally wiped out one day, and on top of the world the next day. And that is a good thing. The downers don’t feel so good, but, when we come out of it, it surely does. Things tug at our emotions, especially when we are female. I think the guys maybe have it a bit easier in this dept., because we females are emotional, and we react to things that males don’t pay any attention to.

Also, since we are the one with the nurturing capabilities, we zero in on things more, and are very sensitive, therefore easily hurt. If someone hurts, we are the first to hurt with them. So, with all that going on, no wonder we sometimes have bad days. But, the good news is, this usually does not last very long, and pretty soon, we are back up and running again. And for this, the rest of the household is always glad, since, most things revolve around the woman of the household.

When things start to press in too close, and we begin to feel smothered, it is time to put down things and go for a walk in the woods, or by the beach, somewhere away from others, so that we can reflect and be alone, and renew our batteries, is a very good prescription. And feeling that we do not matter, is something that needs to be weeded out, and replaced with the thought that, Yes, I do matter, and Yes, I am worthwhile, and Yes, others do care about me, and Yes, it is ok to need help every now and then, and Yes, we are human because we do.

When we give out, we have to take time to renew ourselves, or else we will be running on empty, and that will get us parked on the side of the road, so to speak.
We have to learn how to take care of ourselves, and not run our batteries completely down. I don’t know what you are dealing with, but, I hope in some way that I was able to help, and I wish you the very best. (((hugs)) You are a very kind and gentle and loving spirit. Take care of yourself.

Blessings….

Hmm, I’m not good at encouragement out of context, but I know you’re a good person, I know you’re a strong person and you have a good head on your shoulders. You’re well able for whatever life throws at you, and don’t be afraid to confide in someone, sometimes saying it out loud is more help then receiving advice.

I wish i know how to put them into words this time. If i know how i could have already stated the scenario. But these are all feelings stuck in my head. I have been facing them each day at a time. I envy those who can express their situations in their posts. But i could not do it. I’ve had how many posts in the past and there was none that talk about my feelings except through songs.

It is my weakness. So i am here now,assuring myself that things are going to work out fine and i would see the light of it all with the help of others. Thank you for the tenderness.

Lilies, I will tell you like I tell so many others once you can release those feelings and find words for them, you will have such a weight lifted. Getting the feelings into words and the words out of your mouth is a huge step. Release them. I remember I used to always say “I don’t know” when asked questions. I really did know how to express my feelings. I really did not know the feeling I was having. Part of it was due to having a numbness of feelings. Now I do have to analyze my feeling to figure out what I am truly feeling. It takes work. Your are a strong person. You will work it out. I am confident.

It may sound weird, but when I can’t find the words to say how I feel, I make them up. Just string together sounds that sort represent how I feel.

Strange, but it seems to help.

And sometimes songs can say it best. Just let people know which parts specifically explain how you feel.

You said that crying some wont help much will it. Letting out the emotion that you feel can only help. Sometimes crying, even when your not sure what brought it on can really help. It doesnt serve to practically change anything, but emotions need to be released. There have been times when I’ve cried so hard, it hurts, but that helps, and that is good. Dont be afraid of that.

You say you want your smile back, it will come. Fill your time with things that give you hope. Each of us have at times felt this way, and have own own reasons as to why this is, and our own way to pick ourselves us. Find strength in the things that make you happy, that your enjoy doing, although you may at the moment have little motivation to do this. Just dont give up hope, as this is what will see you through these times.

You are such a caring and thoughful person, you have offered your guiding hand to many of us on this website, and I’m sure you extend that to your friends and family. Be proud of the person that you are, and except that everybody needs a guiding hand and support, no matter where that comes from. Take comfort in knowing that there will always be people available to be a listening ear, all you have to do is ask.

Hugs xxxx

Dear Friends, thank you for taking time to answer this post. I believe i feel relieved compared to the first minute i posted this one. I will still try to get to the core with all of these feelings because i feel that these are reflections of what i had as a child. I hope it does not sound pathetic.

I could not even name the loosing events that make me feel so down. The not so good times i have been having these past few days are just part of the main things i had in the past.

I wrote a long journal to someone and to myself, hoping it could help me a bit. It is not forcing me to smile because i found myself smiling at the end of what i wrote.

I would have to say thank you for the kind words you have left for me, for the suggestions. I will try to help myself putting them into words.

Thank you for those who sent me emails today, and i have replied to each of you, i could not just ignore your thoughtfulness.

Yes, lilies is part of m real name.
