I am so confused to the last problem that seems to lie awake in me, with no way out no relief.... I cannot seem to rid myself of the SADNESS that has a hold of me, I feel so alone - lost - left, and I do not know why?
I had a wonderful night with my husband last night.... he came home from work being very loving & attentive to me, we went out shopping for a birthday gift together, we had a good steak dinner at a resturant with awesome conversation, rented a movie and when we got home we cuddled up in bed together around midnight and talked until we feel asleep in each others arms...... and yet I am SAD today - WHY?
....................................................Can someone PLZ explain to me WHY?

I don't really know why you are sad, but I hope you get feeling better soon! Just take one day at a time!

There's the sad of good things being over and/or how fleeting they are. One night of good things does not make a life

Sometimes I feel like good "times" are like a string of beads and don't really go together in making a "Me". You have to figure out what makes/would make you happy inside, it can't come from outside and no one else can figure it out for you. You have to be "content" to be you and enjoy being you and "around" you.

Start small. What might make you more comfortable or happier right this minute? Something real. I once asked myself that question in the middle of the Zoo when I felt sad and the answer was "an ice cream cone." I set out to get myself one (no stores I could think of where I was) and it took me several hours to get the ingredients and literally make myself an ice cream cone. I was surprised how proud of myself I was for "getting" that for myself. But that's the sort of thing you have to do. You have to figure out what YOU want for your insides and work on getting it for yourself.

Sad just tells us we're "missing" something. It's just a feeling. it's not part of who we are or are becoming and the feelings will shift, move on to something else, come back, etc. The intensity, like anything else, is just "how much" you want.

What are you going to do the next 6 or 8 hours of your life? Your life is an adventure, no matter what you do. Have you ever read Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan? Here it is online: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/bunyan/pilgrim.html If you are not Christian, it's still possible to get comfort and hope from reading it.

That the thing......... I have no earthly ideal as to WHY, even after 10 years of therapy I cannot seem to figure out where the SADNESS is coming from or what I need to be HAPPY from the inside out.

I just feel like crying now..................

I wish there was something that i could do to ease your sadness. I really do feel for you though ... and if i had any insight in the situation i would try and help, but as it seems i have been feeling the same way lately.
I hope you find what you are looking for, and get some of your questions answered.
In the mean time, try and focus on the things in your life that do bring you joy. Can you confide in your husband about your sadness?
Take care, and i hope that you feel better

Thanks........................... and YES, he already knows, for as I said in the earlier post.... I have been in T for 10 long years, and my husband often went with me.


LoVe,
Rhapsody - ((( hugs )))

((((((((Rhapsody)))))))) so sorry that sadness still attacks. Its so unfair.

[Bethsway]

Rhapsody....sometimes there is no answer....but sure hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!!!!!! ((((((((((((Rhapsody))))))))))))))))!!!! ((((hugs))))

[Rhapsody]

I just wish it would go away............... and SOON!!! - but HOW?

I guess the honest truth is that we have no power over our emotions. We can't control them. but you can still have an enriching life. You can continue to work on things that may turn things around emotionally. and you still have an awesome impact on peoples lives.

Sometimes we just need a good cry. I tend to be sad after having a good happy time, and I often think it might be because when I feel the happiness,it brings to mind all the years I missed out on happiness because of the abuse I grew up with that followed me all my days.So many years wasted..filled with confusion and turmoil.And that makes me sad.
I have moments of sadness often and I can't ever understand why so I think about it, trying to come up with an answer. Above is one theory.

I hope you are able to let the tears come, be cleansed, and feel happiness again.This too shall pass...Faith
