My mind is confused and I have a strong feeling of being all empty inside. Days are running by, life goes on...but where am I?! Canīt think straight! Feel so useless, bored...! Seems like I can do nothing right. I feel locked up inside myself! Whereīs the key??? I really love people and I try to be good to people... but I probably care too much. People seem to take me for granted... Iīve spoiled them! I hate myself for not being able to at least once in a while think about myself and not trying to help every person I meet. I know that itīs a good thing, loving other people, but I have to learn to love myself too. Itīs so hard!

Thank you for being here, you all!

I think you have your heart in the right place, just on the wrong people, especially if they're taking you for granted and not doing anything in return for your kindness. I think people like us keep getting walked on because we let those people get away with it.

Yes, you must love yourself, and it is really hard to do, but I believe you can do it...just keep trying your best!

You're learning that you have to take care of yourself. Easy to understand, but hard to do. I know where you're coming from. Keep working, and give it some time. Things will get better.

Life can be really hard @ times Ninni.
The amazing thing is that w/ time and healing it proves to be better.
I am in a rough spot myself these days.
Hang in there!

This pretty much says it all. I have been where you are at. There are the "takers" and then the "givers". It's hard to learn to keep a careful balance...and really learn to not let others manipulate the goodness that lies within.

You are a good person, God knows what is in your heart-and that is the most important thing to remember.

Take good care! Feel so lost and empty!

Ninni, Owww, the BIG EMPTY, I know that one. Are you in therapy? Being aware and able to describe how you feel is a sign to me that you are ready to work on filling yourself up.
Life's a balancing act isn't it? Lots of support for you here, keep posting, ok? It gets better. Slowly, but, better.
