... what do you do? Usually the negative emotions of being single are kind of dormant after one has been single for a while. One lives one's life -- work, family, friends, hobbies -- and being single during that time is actually kinda fun, as one can flirt and watch boys (or girls, depending), without guilt... and one knows, KNOWS, that they have it together and can be single happily for as long as it takes to find the one whom they REALLY deserve, that One special someone... one knows one can be patient, easily.

But then, then there comes a day every once in a while during that time, when one REALLY feels the loss of someone to hold them, to be there for them, to share their life with them. And nothing one does, thinks, or feels, can trump that feeling of utter lonliness.

What do you do when you are at your lowest? When you're almost ready to throw in the towel and say yes to those you said no to in the past, despite the fact that you KNOW it would only be temporary because they aren't the one (or ones, possibly), who you can happily be with? What do you do when you begin to think that maybe there IS noone you can happily be with, who would want you back?

What do you do when hope seems so very far away?

It isn't easy, but you find something to take your mind of of it until it fades back to it's normal level.

I hear you snarkytwain
i know exactly what you are talking about because i am kinda of going through it right now! lol
ANd what do i do? After going through my contacts looking at the numbers of the guys i ve said no to before, actually considering asking one out, i decided to not do it, that its not worth and joined this site instead lol :) to take my mind off it for a little bit.
Dont worry, everybody feels down sometimes, its absolutely normal, after all we are just humans and we all need someone to hold us, sometimes more than anything else.
There is that special person out there for you (for all of us) and when he/she comes you will know that it was worth waiting for them!
Good luck to you!

it`s a very calm place to be,..but hang on,.cause on the other side is a new appreciation for everything you already do have,..

maybe some of us are meant to find a mate,.maybe not,.but I don`t think it`s the most important part of our lives,..

at times like this,..we just need to sit still,...very,.very still,..and just watch what is goin on,.. on the inside,..for a discovery is waiting within ,.. drinker

enjoy the journey bigsmile

no,.. noway you don`t want to bury it for it to come back another day,..

the only way to release 'it',.is to feel 'it' and go through 'it',.. drinker

and find out 'it' really isn`t as bad as what we believe 'it' to be,..

cause on the flip side is our happiness bigsmile

laugh Thanks, Fear. I needed that.

Romeo, I am working now, which rocks, but it's Saturday now, and I'm sitting at home, watching dumb movies, with no plans, no money and no prospects. Pfft. grumble

gayfifer, I would, but I've done that a lot lately because of my date with the pavement last weekend, so it's not really that exciting anymore. laugh

i look in the mirror and remind myself that its all my own doing


Yeah, that doesn't help much in the way of feeling BETTER, lone. laugh

ems, thank you. It's awesome that someone else understands. flowerforyou

May, usually thinking and analizing helps a lot for me. At the moment, though, all I REALLY want is to forget.

If I am really bummed out it usually helps me to get out of the house and walk or garden a little. Seems fresh air always helps. If I carry a trash bag I can usually get a little exercise picking up trash.

Sometimes I will bake something. No matter who you go visit if you have goodies they will take a few minutes and visit. For and elderly neighbor or a young Mom with children it is a God send. I can always donate them somewhere. Our church has a shareing table. People donate baked goods to buy livestock for the poor in third world countries and the elderly or working parents buy them for small amounts. Just making raw cookie dough and stuffing it in the freezer makes it easier when someone calls or comes by at the last minute.

If I get lonely almost always can find someone on line to chat with or leave and email for. Or I tend to get out my stationary box and write a few short notes to family and friends. My church bullentine always lists people to send encouragements to. I think USO will forward a letter of appreciation to sevice members.

Volunteering always seems to perk me up. So many places you can just drop in and help. Usually takes participateing in and orientation but it is a good outlet to get away and make new friends.

I tend to buy joke books or magazines. If I am feeling down it is a lot of the time boredom and they distract me. Humor seems to be catching so I will turn off the drama's on TV and watch the comedy channels.

A lot of time when I feel down it is just being tired. I find if I change the bed sheets, take a bubble bath, and give my body a little pampering I can get a good nights sleep and the blues are gone the next day.

Why the hell do people think drugs are the answer to something like this??

All that does is postpone the feelings. They are still there when you come back down.
