What can I do to not feel down at times?!

You know, that is an issue that everyone deals with in their lives. We are warm, soft, bipedal hominoids living on this rock of a planet in an extremely vast space. It kind of makes you wonder, what exactly are we and what are we doing here?

It is a question that has many answers, none of which are entirely provable with hard evidence. But many ARE satisfying and that, I feel, is way more important.

It sounds to me like you are lacking an understanding or relationship with God. Now I'm not saying you should go run off and join a church, because I am strongly against organised religion (due to it's corrupt-ness), but every person should come to some sort of understanding about the topic. If you are into religion and it makes you feel good, then great. Life is about doing what makes you happy and about making others happy as well.

The law of reincarnation states that every person is born many times until they reach enlightenment. Now, this understanding of reincarnation actually has real life evidence where small children have said things they couldn't have possibly known (ie: "I have two sons and a wife and live in Agra"). There are many documented cases of such things. It makes you wonder, if you have lived many (or few) lives, perhaps you are not doing something you are supposed to?

I think as a species we are growing heavily beyond our current system. We are evolving. Our current civilisation has many flaws which are very big problems, and it would be superfluous to even state them. It's just a fact, that we are heading towards something new because our way of existing today simply doesn't work. What we are heading towards, exactly, no one knows, possibly even due to the fact that if a person were to figure it out, it would ruin the entire thing! Personally, I believe we will exchange our flawed calendar system (the 12 months varying dates) for something that is more in harmony with nature, allowing us to heal ourselves and our world. A lot of other people believe that we will develop a global, interconnected, and telephatic consciousness for all humans.

All of that may be speculation, but I bet you can agree that something is definitely going to happen. I advise you to not listen to the nay-sayers, saying that we are just going to die as a species, since how does that help at all? It solves nothing, and we should focus on and work towards a positive outcome.

What you should do is listen to your heart. Every person has a talent. I'm sure you've heard that many times, but it's true. Everyone is born with a gift that is so unique in the way that they express it, that they are literally better at it than any other person on the planet. Your purpose is to simply express this gift, whatever it may be, and your life will be filled with happiness and intense joy. I encourage you to experience everything (that your heart tells you is safe) until you find your purpose.

Good luck with your mission, and sorry for the long reply.

Your doing alot of the things i did when i was diagnosed with a bad case of insomnia/depression. I kinda skipped out on the depression thing and got sleeping pills. If you cant sleep you just can't function and certainly will not feel "good". I say this because i would often roll around in bed lost in the mind, different scenarios, running through my day/past/future. Things change, theres no way around that but all you can try to do is live in the moment, which I'm able to do fairly well now that i can sleep.

You also should try to learn to be content with yourself. I would always second guess social choices, i'd even have panic attacks where i would like hide at school and stuff, now i just find it funny that i ever did that. If you can be happy with yourself then you can deal with others much better. Just keep on the road to finding those who like you for you.

i think everyone can feel this way at times i still feel like i was in high school yesterday and i turn around and i am 26 .
the thing is it is scary getting older but its also an exciting thing we go through rough times when where 18 we go through rough times when where 20,30 and so on but i know people always say life is what you make it and you know what IT IS!!!!
worrying about getting older and what may come and letting go of where you were or are in life and age just makes life well simply not life'!
you need to enjoy every minute so when you turn a year older you can look back and say those years were good not geez all i did was worry because thats not living .
The truth of the matter is we all get old , we all die and we all go through crappy times and we go through great times that is living and we learn and regret and get over things .
I didnt have the easiest life through many of my years i was given up at birth , seen my adopted parents go through a rough divorce , lost people i loved ,was sent to boarding school even went through a stage on drugs in a very bad realtionship , did i want to give up at times and feel like dying , hell yes i did! but this is my life i get one chance and one only i fought through all this and i look back at my younger years and think some things were hard really hard , but i also had some good memories ones i wouldnt ever give back and i can say the same for the bad times as well because they have made me who i am and i have learnt alot from all of it .. now i am 26 i may not have everything i ever wished for and things still can be hard at times but i am happy and know that everything i have done the choices i have made have brought me to here right now at this very moment and really i couldnt ask for anything more.
live now you could be gone tomorrow and not get to see the happiness and joy you will have in the future
