Feeling down?!
Question:
Feeling down?
i've been feeling down because i was heartbroken, people tell me that in time i will get over it, things will turn out, and that this is only temporary. it's been 3 months since somebody told me that, and i still feel really lonely and empty -- is it normal to keep feeling this way for 3 months?
i've tried going out with friends, in fact, i've been going out almost every night (maybe 4-5 nights a week) and what it's merely doing is that it distracts me, but it doesn't resolve any issues.
what do you think should i do? i can't go out every single night forever. i don't want to take any anti-depressants because i know their side effects. i don't want to kill myself, but there are times when i no longer feel like i deserve to be in this world, i feel like i have nothing to look forward to in life anymore.
anybody with similar experiences? what did you do to get over it?

Dear Feeling Down:
Years ago, I ran into a problem where I really thought the answer was suicide. This went on for about 6 months. Then out of the blue I found a book called Awaken the Giant Within. Once you have worked with this book, read it enjoy it. You actually wonder what brought you down in the first place. Try a smile, every day I do and the darkness does go away. My prayers are with you! Rose
