Why do i feel this way?

12 Comments

Lately, better yet for a couple of months now I've been terribly sad inside and i keep telling myself tomorrow will get better, but my situation just seems to get worse everyday. what baffles me is that i don't know why i am sad. I feel my life is boring and empty. I've developed a low self-esteem, lost self confidence, and become pessimistic.
i'm really worried because i know who/how i used to be; never thought i will end up like this someday. i thought maybe this is a result of my chronic use of marijuana so i stopped that weeks ago, but i still feel this way. i now isolate myself because i don't want people to see me like this.

I Hate what I've become and want to be myself again. At times Happiness is the only thing i pray for.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I don't do weed and i feel this way as well.

    i hate this feeling, because it makes you feel as if you're the lowest creature in this planet. seriously...

    i don't know what causes it, and i would like to find out myself.

      i have the same problem. some of it stems from feeling trapped, like nothing will ever progress in a positive way...that and it seems like every time I find someone i truly care abt i lose them :(

    I can relate to how you are feeling. The weed may have been and probably was a contributing factor to these feelings you have developed, but more than likely it was just a minor contributor to bigger problems you are having. Anyways, I am proud of you for making the decision to quit. That shows that you are smart because you have control and don't let it control you. Not everyone has the discipline or willpower to give something up like that. As for your feelings of non-happiness I can't much give you any advice on that. You might consider going to see a counselor though, because having someone to talk to can help a lot sometimes.

    This is just a suggestions that worked for me: Post sticky notes around your home or work or where ever you can saying things such as "Smile!" "Laugh!" "Happiness!"
    -Exricise everyday. This releases endorphines.
    -Smile alot (even if it's forced) this sends a signal to your brain that you're happy.

    -Laugh alot! Watch alot of comedies, hang around funny people, just laugh! It feels great!
    -Stay off weed. It can cause depression, and it's also unhealthy (you can do some research about it).

    Hope this helps!

    it could possably be a withdraw, you will see happiness again just give it time, sometimes things like that are not always around when you want them. i should know i have been unhappy and empty inside for a long time now

    You should know that you're not alone. You should also know that dwelling on what's missing and negative thoughts only shifts you further down that road. So live it up...and stay away from weed :)
