Nothing is happening. There’s never anyone to talk to. I’m so low and don’t even know what to say.

There is always someone to talk to You just have to humble yourself to ask for help. And most people are willing to give it that is why people are on here to help others and to have others help themeselves

May I say, I feel that way too often…but, how can we know what it is really like in other people’s worlds? So many people live crazy lives…it is tough. You seem pretty normal to me.

I think most humans get a good tossing. I am sorry you feel that way though. I think we can find an anchor in ourselves, sometimes…but then we need others too.

I dont believe that you are just a person going through a ruff time and we all hit that point in life but if were strong enough we always seem to come out a better person with more confidense. Just remember people do care and are there to help you

i am the type with no anchor at all. i live a normal life but inside i can’t validate myself. i have no friends at all. it’s worse to try to find friends when you really need them already

First, you need to define for me what a loser is.

Bein a loser is a state of mind if you think you are than your gonna act like you are. Surround yourself with family to boost yourself than go out and just talk to people and your gonna see that if you surround yourself with people who think positive it will rub off

All these things are very easily changed…in fact, you already changed a couple of them already. You are not “nothing” because you are chatting with us. I know you exist…

The real pain you are experiencing when others say something is from your own inner voice. It tells you your no good…but, it needs to be erased.

Something you can start to do is really, really simple…

That is to breathe. Paying attention to the air flowing in and out and what that feels like to you. Did you know your breathe is one of the best ways to soothe yourself?

Even at your worst moments, you can usually take a breath. People usually forget to breathe when they are anxious or upset, and they miss out on something really great they can do for themselves at any moment.

a counselor told me that a long time ago. usually it just makes me feel like I’m going to pass out. i’m a little odd in the sensory department. those relaxation tapes make me want to crawl right out of my skin
