I am just curious. I know that so many people on this board feel unhappy and hopeless at times but i was curious as to what the cause of that was?? I guess I am wondering if it is one thing in particular for you or a combination and what type of things in particular cause you to have a better day than normal or worse day than normal?
I know that I usually feel worse when small things compound more than one big thing. Like if I oversleep then get in trouble at work and then have a fight with my boyfriend and then have too much going on that I never get anything done. But I also know that everyone has their own issues. I don't ever really feel bad enough to hurt myself but I did briefly think about it a few years back and I am just curious as to what everyones thoughts are??
When you feel like giving up?? What keeps you going??



WONDERFUL and thought provoking question, Nicole--THANK YOU for asking it!!!
The things that make me feel good are 1)When my fiance is with me 2)When I accomplish something (like get a good mark, etc) 3)Sleep 4)Having someone to talk to
I'm glad you've never felt bad enough to hurt yourself Nicole. I hurt myself too often,,,in my head and then SI'ing and then thinking how I can just escape it all for good.
What keeps me going? My children,,,though there have been times when I have even put them, my most precious of everything in my life aside when I am just so filled with saddness I can only flounder in my despair.
Thanks for the questions Nicole,,,good to think about things like that,,,even though it isn't all that comfortable thinking about them.
it isn't comfortable thinking about things that make us feel unhappy. I know I didn't elaborate, but I don't want you all to think that I am never unhappy. There are a lot of things that make me unhappy when I think about them. My grandparents and my sister are all the family I have really. My sister will be going to college in 3 years to wherever and my grandparents are getting older. When I think about losing them it hurts because I remember how much it hurt when my mom died.
