      You are really flattened by all of this aren't you? Okay, I'll bite because I understand how you feel. December 20th 2001. My 2nd child was born to die. Modern medicine and miracles gave her life and my wife and I spent the next 3 years keeping her alive. We're way past that now and life is getting better a lot better. Now the *really* important part. My daughters birth seemed like a horrible nightmare in so many ways. Watching her slowly starve to death over a year seemed like being robbed of joy. Now after the fact and much later I realize that I learned so much about myself during that time. I changed so many things about myself during that time. I'm a much better person than I was because of those things and I'd never trade that experience for anything. I have a relationship with my children that most parents will *never* understand and it's incredible. The net result of that entire experience was just awesome and it changed my life forever. So now the lesson. Things that seem bad/horrible now rarely are years later. You have to keep that in mind. I think anybody here my age (31) or older could confirm that without even pausing. Time heals many things which is true but I prefer to think that hind-sight is the most accurate sight. I'm off to bed now. Take it easy Link2006 life get's better a lot better. Just ride it out. If you are a bump skier (moguls) treat life like ski's and the bumps as the experiences. When skiing bumps timing is everything. You've gotta have a great rythm and you have to be strong. You also have to have mastered the ability to relax while your body explodes with each bump. Just don't let the ski's (life) get you in the back seat (to far back on the ski's) or you will lose control and get hurt. Make it past each bump and then prepare for the next one, find your rythm and pretty soon you don't notice the bumps you are just way in tune with your ski's. It's an awesome feeling. Hasta! - Rex:rose:

                Too many to mention, each lasting for a different length of time. The trick isn't to focus on what you've lost or haven't got. Concentrate on what you have and not what might have been. There is a whole world of happiness out there to find, but you've got to want to search for it. Let go of your pain, fear and doubt and get on with your life. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

                    When I was 4 years I caught a butterfly and put it in a matchbox so that I could keep it. In the evening I took the matchbox and wanted to proudly show my new pet, the butterfly had died. I realized then for the first time that life was not everlasting, and the fact that it was me who was to blame for the butterfly`s death really tore me up. I bet my parents had a hard time that day. Well, it doesn^t seem like much but the experience left quite an impression on me and I can still recall my feelings of that day and recall the images of when I got the dead butterfly out of the box, now more than 24 years ago.

                      About two years ago when my engagement broke up 4 weeks before the wedding. I was 23. It lasted until I realised that there was no point being depressed about something I had no control of and couldn't change even if I wanted to. Life has never been better since I let go and moved on :)

                        ...when I was 16 years old. He always said this when I was sad ... Whenever I feel sad, I just think about other people who are sadder than me.. Compared to that my sadness seems like nothing!! Think of how fortunate we are, be thankful for what you have got and move on... :rose: ---------------------------------------------- If you need a hammer get C and shut up.

                            Man why do you want to hear about the saddest period in my life ?, I have read some of the other ones and I amn't going to say a word now. Code-Frog shut me right up :(( I am gonna recommend a book to you, because you obviousily are suffering from anxiety in your life. It will make you feel better about yourself, its called "Healing Without Freud or Prozac", by David Servan-Schreiber. I amn't a huge believer in self-help books, but I did find this one had alot of practical advice. It will help with your self-esteem which is obviousily very low. Ask youself whats the real reason you are so sad?, is it because you like this girl so much ? or are you worried that there are no more fish in the sea interest in you ? I don't think anything anyone here can say will help you, read the book and start again. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire" Blogging @ Keratoconus Watch

                                :applause::rose: I never talk about sad stories, happenings, Movies. Damn, its spoils my mood. :( We have a proverb in our language. "When you have fully ripen Fruits to eat why eat fruits which are still green and sour?" The entire thread's gonna look jaded.:(.But I also welcome if somebody is really dipressed and they want to share their feelings with other people. Surely I'd hear to them, but if its just to listen to other sad stories, I hate it. I wish he'd start another thread like "What was the happiest moment in your life...and make it more colorful :cool:

                                      When was your saddest period of your life? How old was you? How long did it last?

                                      The week prior to my wedding the emotional detonator got lit. 52 hours before the wedding the emotional bomb exploded. Those 5 days were the worst in my life. After the explosion of the relationship everything was confused for about 2 weeks. I can laugh about it now - in fact, I'm planning a speech at Toastmasters about it - but at the time it was very distressing.

I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." --Charles Babbage (1791-1871) My: Website | Blog

                                        About 4 hours ago, when I woke up and realised it wasn't Saturday. Ugh. Need sleep. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

                                          Be happy that your sadness is about a woman, not a lost limb or life.
