When was your saddest period of your life? How old was you?
-
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 [^]

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:

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.

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

Pretty much from birth to 20. My mum was told she couldn't have kids without an operation, so I was unplanned. She believes I was allergic to her breast milk because I rejected her from birth, and I was a boy to spite her ( she wanted a girl ). So, my childhood pretty much sucked, I was pretty much reminded how useless I was at every opportunity. I got kicked out of home at 18, for a party my sister had, with my mums permission. A friends family took me in and that was the first step to realising that my family was disfunctional. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Not quite :). I was upset, but not enough to throw reason out the window.

Hello CG, Am I too late to notice it ? :- "CG a staff in CP". Is it not one of your happier moments? :-D

Dude, I just read what started all of this. Here's something that's sometimes hard to believe. There's not one person for you. There's about 52% of the worlds population that's biologically wired to want to partner with someone like you. You'll find plenty of other women, and you'll learn from this experience. Just take note from the guy who said his worst moment was going to a prostitute, and you'll be fine. I know it doesn't feel that way now, but it will. You can help yourself now, by not focusing on it, by not being introspective, by not trying to convince yourself that something has happened which you can't recover from. It's not a great thing to have happen, but it's just another step in your life, life will go on. I left kind of like this when my first wife left me. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, until you've gone down the tunnel a bit. Having remarried, I'm glad she left, although I have no doubt we could have worked it out if she'd spent more time with me and less time in bed with my friends....

I don't think the Bob icon is only for staff, although it's true in my case. I only got my icon today, but I've been full time since this week, and part time for 5 months or so. I didn't list it, but it was and is definately a big moment for me. I still remember when I was using this site to teach myself MFC, and I've been coming here for a long time, so to work for the site is pretty cool. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

I had a period in my life that lasted about a month when I couldn't eat or sleep and generally just let life pass beside me. It happened during my service in the military. I did 3 year mandatory service which I really enjoyed and ended up in one of the best places and jobs there are (IMO). But near the end it was quite unbearable. I was a commander of a course at the time. I decided to kick out one of my trainees, but it turned out her father knew people at high places (one of them was my base commander, a colonel). So not only did they not let me kick her out, they blamed me for misconduct since they had to make a reason for not kicking her. Accidently I found out about her connections and that crushed me. I've been a commander for more than 2 years, had hundreds of trainees under me, and this was the first time anyone ever doubted me or blamed me for misconduct. I wanted to quit this job, I said I no longer want to command this course and would like to reassign somewhere else (this was 2 months before I got discharged!). My superior officer told me I can't quit and if I decide to do so I might go to jail and have my military profession disqualified. I had no option but to stay and finish this course with her in it. Even worse, she started telling lies about me to the other trainees in the course. You can't imagine the feeling of being blamed for something you didn't do, forced to be in a place you don't like anymore and unable to walk away. I really learned to value freedom at that point. Anyway, to make a long story short, eventually I got acquitted and I managed to get her kicked out. Three weeks later I completed my mandatory service. They offered me a promotion if I stayed, but it didn't mean anything to me anymore. Value your freedom people. It's priceless. Isaac Sasson
