Well, from my experience it’s quite unlikely you’ll kill yourself, of course, I’m no psychiatrist. Here’s what I think. You need to try as hard as you can to not become so connected to one girl. Explore! Do you have friends? Go to clubs with them. Join some sort of group, or organization.

It always helps to have people to rant to, and it’s nice to have people who listen.

If you think it’s stupid to cut yourself, don’t do it. *shrug* Maybe I don’t understand the cutting thing. You should listen to music or write instead. Do you write?

Don’t kill yourself, that’s no bueno. Seriously. You have friends, yeah?

Hi. Thanks for the replies. Rowass, i can see sense in what you say about trying hard to not be so connected to one girl, it can get dangerous when one feels too much for another and to be so DEEPLY emotionally invested in them.
Rainbow, i do write although not as much as i used too, good idea though.
I’ve friends but i am in a new town, well a relatively new town and although i have met people on a course i started i don’t really know any of them as of yet. With the cutting thing i know this will sound weird but i don’t really 100% understand it myself. I have cut myself before, a few times over the years it just seems that in the particularly intense emotional times out comes the scalpel. It just happens.
I don’t suicide is on the cards, although one can never be sure.
Thanks guys.

No problem anon. I hate recommending church, but maybe that’s what you need?

I don’t think church is for me to be honest. I’m just not sure about things God related. Although i have started lately to acquire an interest in personal spirituality, the general ideals and messages of it anyway.
To be honest i feel i need love. But love is a pretty fickle thing and unreliable. We all have to rely on ourselves in the end but we seem to be conditioned as human beings to ‘need’ someone else otherwise generally we’re miserable. I try and fight against it but i just need someone to love and care for, and i really, really thought it was her.
Thanks again.

well rejection is one of the worst feeling…
the question of why you cut is simple, you just need a way to get the anger and stuff out, some write others cut while others vent via sport and now you are venting via posting here ^_^, so it’s just a way to get the anger and feeling that is building out to the outside world, that is how the feeling will calm down…

most ppl got it all figured wrong, a relationship isnt about somebody making you whole… you should feel whole before you enter a relationship for that is the only way a relationship will last and be a really happy one, find urself be happy for who you are and who you are not… live life and try to put a little smily face around ppl and be nice but not too nice… am sure you will find a girl a long the way. just dont live for a girl, live for yourself at first learn to be content, learn to be content, then you are ready to meet that lucky girl…

i suggest you start by getting a pet(dog) and maybe you should try to hit the gym.

love is not unique ^_^ as you should have already concluded :P

Thanks tricky, you speak some wise words there. Rejection is definitely one of the worst feelings too. It’s indescribable. I just kinda feel like i don’t want to live, but i will. I totally agree about feeling whole just for one’s self, especially before a relationship. I argue with myself a lot about that, that i feel love will only make me whole and ‘happy’. Hopefully this spirituality idea will give me what i truly need. I hope. ‘Cos i fear that although i say i won’t ever kill myself, and i do feel i won’t i can’t make a guarantee it for myself.
Thanks, sounds like you have it sussed out :-)

well it’s just normal to feel down and stuff, after a rejection… but dont drag this feeling with you… there is no point in drowning urself in sorrow, time moves happy or sad why choose sadness? learn from the past and move forward with life… we humans tend to put this perfect picture of something in our head and we wish everyday we had it and stuff, like love, money , etc… we tell ourselves everyday if only we had this we would have been happy, but this is so far away from the actual truth… there is nothing perfect in this world, everything in life has it’s advantages and disadvantages even love , money etc… we humans always want more and more, i guess what of the steps to be happy is to learn to be a bit more content with what we have and remind ourselves how lucky we are to actually have what we have, for most ppl dont even have that much….

like i said before i think my best advise for you is to get a dog :)

I think you seem to be having too much time to worry. You need to be occupied first. start getting busy. get a pet if you like.get up early and go for a walk. join a hobby course, club, volunteer your time for a cause. you will get to know different people and one of them will like you. No use sitting at home and freting about it. There are real people out there get to them approach them and be with them and things will start happening suddenly before you notice. just let go.

uddipya, you’ve probably got a point. I’d like to get a pet but the place i am renting doesn’t allow them, i would have brought my cat from the other side of the country over by now otherwise. I know people usually get pets anyway but this place is different, the agent comes round unannounced all the time (long story but her **** is getting sued). Anyway. It’s such a curse having too much time to worry and think about it but the drive is always lacking. There’s plenty other things to do for myself personally but i am going to look into just getting out there. I’ve got to do something about all this crying and cutting, although haven’t since yesterday… it’s just, we would be SO good together, we’ve known each other a few years and are very close and.. etc. no use getting into it all again, right.
Thanks.

maybe it’s time for you to find a new rent that will allow pents ^_^… stop holding on to ur past, open ur eyes to the futur

Yeah for sure. It’s just hard. I’m not really sure how to do it. Practicalities wise. But i will. Whenever that will be. I have too..

first you have to accept that what is done is done and you cant change that. you shouldnt forget your past, but you should accept it with all it’s colors, for you are who you are because of your past… but now is even the past so now you are effecting how you going to be in the future… dont look back to the past in sorrow but in the eye that wants to learn from his mistakes and move forward, for we are only humans we are bounded to make mistakes but we should learn from our mistakes so that we wont keep doing the same over and over and expect different result for that is pure stupidity…

being in your comfort zone is not good, if you are comfotable it means you got use to your boring life and you seriously need a change, for the core of mans spirit comes from experiences and if you arent doing new things if you arent trying new stuff, you are dead already… open up to the world do what you dont like, do what you didnt ever do… change ur life style stop eating the same food :D order some food you never ordered :D , take that train that you never took etc… stop living a robostic life… engage people and be more open and more friendly compliment them… i guess that what you have been doing all these years wasnt working out for you why dont you change ur way of living… you need a new perspective on life, it’s all about perspective… dont expect to wake up 2morow and feel gr8, but this is a slow slop curve of increase in maturity and happiness, little by little you will feel better, sorry no magic potion, it needs time to change… yet time doesnt heal anything, but as you try to heal urself and have the right mentality… open up to the world little by little dont see the world like it is going to get you, but see this world as a heaven, a place to be happy in… no matter what situation you are in right now, you can be happy, the truth is if you are not happy with what you have you wont be happy with no matter what you have… the key of happiness is you, not anything or anybody. this is your life, start living it.
