Hi @Biba_yu, I hope you're managing okay today.

Well, I've been pondering these questions of, "How to be alone and happy? How to enjoy life even if everyone you ever loved betrayed you? Why is it so hard?", and all I can say is that in my struggles with my own life, I was taken so low to the point of suicide [you will relate to that part] that all I was left with was my spiritual relationship to a higher power - sorry if you are now feeling a little annoyed. But I'm lucky because that higher power - my spiritual side, if you will - responded in a very concrete way. And through that, I was able to see and appreciate the value in many of the coping skills, strategies and ideas, which had already been shown to me, I had tried to utilize in the past, but that had not worked for me. Now though, because I had come out of a very dark, dark hole, I could appreciate the value in those things. Because there is value there.

I'm not floating on a cloud nine, though. As I say, I'm coping.

So, that's probably not helpful for you at all, but I felt I needed to think about and respond to those questions you put forward, in an honest way.

But if you have a spirituality Biba_yu, a belief in a God perhaps, what about the church? I've never been to church voluntarily but it's obvious to me that, in one way, they're all there for support, friend.
