Dear Jas,

I am so sorry you are in pain. Believe me, i know how it feels to not feel loved, supported or connected to anyone. It actually is equivalent to physical pain. For me, I have concluded over time, love some people anyway. Find your place of peace within – these days, i have devoted more time to my well-being, whenever i feel the depression, anxiety and stress overwhelming me, i pen it down, talk about how i feel on the webcam, listen to some music or sleep it off.

I live alone and when i feel too lonely and sad, i go out or just make plans with someone – the only difference is that i dont turn into oh poor me, everything is so sad, please support me. Some may disagree with my approach but now i am learning to smile despite the pain. It is wonderful to share it with someone no doubt but yeah, if it gets too overwhelming for you, perhaps try 7cupsoftea.com or HealthfulChat, perhaps talk to a therapist. Its a good site to talk to someone. Maybe find a creative outlet to unleash it.

Shift the focus away from the world rejecting you to how much you can do for yourself everyday and what little things you can do to be of service to others, whether or not they necessarily reciprocate. When i feel really bad, i think of the kids at the children’s home i used to volunteer in – they are all under 10 and most dont have parents, some lived on the streets – who do they truly have to call their own? It could have been way way worse for them even.

I know these arent really answers but i guess, this is sort of the way i am going about it…I hope the others give you more feedback and share their stories too.

You will come out of this too, just like you have overcome so much. You are so strong and what you are going through, i wish you realized you arent alone in this. I hope you feel better.

– Lots of love,
Moon
