I'm so tired....my mind is tired...my soul is tired....
I'm wondering how to get rid of this sadness....how to be back the way I was before....how to smile again....how to stop thinking negatively?

Yes, I'm so tired and hopeless....

Is there any vitamins that I can take to stay focused and alert? to not think negatively? I'm upto anything you name it.....

I want to be happy and not alone anymore.....
Thanks for this!

I hope you find something that does work and let us all know bcz I think we all wld like to know the answer too.
Thanks for this!

I finally rid myself of your list "sadness, depression, anxiety and negative thoughts" by finding a psychiatrist who saw and understood what I needed.

I now take 200mg of Lamictal...and I am sorry I didn't find this mood stabilizer soon...like decades ago.I also continue to take 100mg nortriptyline.
I am no long plagued with suicidal thoughts, negative thoughts and depression...hour upon hour of each and every day.

Hmm suicidal thoughts. I hate those. Had them for many years. Horrid ! I've always been able to think my way out of it thank God, crawl out of the maze. But it is not nice at the time. And when i feel down it is like a huge black cloud and weighted brick that is in your mind and then your head feels it is about to explode. But when it goes the feeling is wonderful. Hold on tight, things will get better. Maybe some walking will help?
Thanks for this!

Marjan , I just read the title to your thread and if anyone out there has the answer to this question . PLEASE HELP . We will ALL experience sadness , depression , anxiety and negative thoughts at some point in our lives . The GOOD thing is some of us don't experience it as much. I hope you find some RELIEF from these feelings through the proper medication , therapy , and , or , both .
I tried pretty much everything suggested to me . The problem I have is sticking with it , I give up too easy , but that's just me.

Sadness might need to be grieved??? Everything else can be worked on step by step starting with where you are. Choose an issue, analyze it to understand it well and then problem solve. Getting help/feedback is imperative whether it is with a therapist and/or here.........

Thanks everybody for your replies....

I certainly don't want to take any kind of medication....I'm sure I will be fine...

The problem is that I've been experiencing this void...and I know why....I'm single and not being able to find a relationship or if I find that person, I can't keep it....

Yes, I do think about dead sometimes....but because of my belief, I know I got to fix myself in this world, otherwise, I can rebirth here with more troubles....and dead won't end to my misery and sadness....so, suicide is the last in my least

It sounds funny but I'm going to believe that my new place has been cursed....since I moved here, I didn't sleep well at night at all....always bad dreams....and sleepless nights that I had to take pills....My relationship with my boyfriend went really bad and he stop contacting me all of a sudden....same as my relationship with other friends.....It feels since I moved here in April, I'm going to be lonelier and lonelier.....sounds a little bit spooky, but even my sister told me there is some negative energy with this appartment....hate to blame stuff on the place....but that's what I'm feeling....

I'm going to exercise more....but I feel like I'm lost!

thanks again
with love
Marjan

Marjan, moving increases anxiety and maybe this is why you can't sleep? Relationship problems and loneliness can certainly be worked on. We do many things to keep people far enough away from us and we even chose people who can't be close to us (fear of intimacy stuff). You can start making sense out of your life..........

Past few days, I felt so tired...my back hurts, and today I had pain in my legs...I didn't even exercise!!!!
I think I have lack of Iron and B12....I should have taken my pills....My doctor found out last year that I have lack of Iron and B12...and I took pills felt good, but I didn't get tested again....now...I'm reading about the symptoms of lack of Iron and B12...and there it is...."mood change"..."trouble sleeping"..."tiredness"..."body ache"..."hair dryness"...and lots of other symptoms...
I'm going to get tested today and let you guys know....I hope that's the cause of my troubles....
thanks for your help
Marjan
