I've had a lot of problems lately just being happy, and being able to enjoy day to day life. Even when things are going well my anxiety gets in the way of just being happy. I dont trust people and have no faith in people or relationships including my own which really sucks.

Tonight I am meeting a friend of my brothers that he has asked to talk to me. He said she is amazing at helping people and really helped him when he was depressed and angry at the world.

I'm looking forward to meeting with her, as I really want to get help and I want things to change, so I guess I'm hopeful that talking to her might help.

But I just still have my doubts that things will ever change. And I'm so tired of feeling this way. I really want to be a happy independant person again, and I want to have trust in the people close to me, not worry about every little thing, and be able to enjoy life to the fullest again.

Thanks for reading

Hi Nina ~ I'm so sorry you're feeling so badly. Depression can be so awful when you're in a "low" period.

But you have to remember that you can base your happiness on other people. I know you've been hurt by others, and you have trouble trusting other people, but we all have those troubles. People can be very cruel at times, and sometimes they just don't think about who they are hurting.

We've got to look for happiness inside outselves. No one person can make us happy. Oh sure, maybe a particular person makes us feel better when they're with us, but when they're gone, we're back to feeling terrible. So we've got to find a way to feel good all by ourselves without relying on someone else.

I hope you start feeling better and the meeting goes well with the friend of your brothers. Good luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
Thanks for this!

Hey. Try giving God a try. The on true God. If we base our worth in other people than we will always be unhappy because people are human and will make mistakes. God does not fail us and will always be there for us. The only times we feel like He isn't is because we've turned our back on Him. I hope you find true peace in Him someday
