I was just saying something similar about myself then I came to DS and realized there are still a few good people on this planet. You are not the issue. The world can be very unkind. Take a break and do something for yourself. I felt really beat down today, so i took myself to dinner and watched a scifi. Feeling a little better now. You need to take care of you: long shower, fresh air long walk, listen to your favorite music, rest ....whatever to feel better ((hug))

rich I having similar feelings. I have had many bad things happen in the past couple of years. I am sad one minute and angry the next. People have betrayed me that I never imagined would. Sometimes I find certain people can only see life from their perspective; they cannot find it within them to be empathetic. This is a good place to let it all of.
I am looking at my life in the straight in the eyes and for awhile I am going to pull back from people for awhile.and try to let whatever is happening run it's course. I just don't want anyone around me to feel the effects of what I am going through. I have been stuck in this rut for too long. If I could quit my job and just focus on healing I would but this is not possible.I agree with MelT: Much of what is happening probably had little to do with you. But I think that we all have the potential to heal. Please don't give up on yourself.

Whenever you see a post like this, response is hard. First, you don't want to diminish anything someone is dealing with.

But I think you want to provide some positive words and encouragement. First, you hope that they can start taking small steps to make their life better. A lot of what happens in life, that you think is so critical, diminishes in importance. Just work on what you can control. I have a family member who is quite popular but part is he is not easily offended and can accept what comes in life with equanamity.
