You're not alone in this world, always remember that. Try to find some interests and always be confident in whatever you do enjoy life while you can without worrying and getting confused about the downs you get in life. Life is not a worthless thing, there is a reason we all exist. We all die one day and you shouldn't have any regrets or fears when you near that moment. God bless and good luck to you.

    You are still thinking of peace; not success. If you feel you have fallen from the blue skies to the ground, this is your time to build a house on it. Create your own world.

    freshy real sensitive LOL

    yoga/meditation is the best way. With all the stress and kaos going on this the world, it helps u centre yourself and be alone with your thoughts. If u practice it regularly, you'll slowly start to find inner peace and emotional stability which will lead to appreciating and enjoying your life more. Now a days, more and more people are feeling down and depressed and having drugs and medication thrown at them, but sometimes the best way to find peace with yourself to get more in touch with your spirituality. There are sooo many benefits. I probably sound like a guru but it's the truth. You should look into it, the internet is always good for something:)

    Rule 1: FAILURES ARE THE STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS.

    If you have failed in something you are doing, then you are learning not to repeat this step.

    If you have learnt your lesson, you are gaining experience. Every single guy around us have learnt it through the same way. That is how they have become managers, General managers and vice presidents.

    Unfortunately they do not remember to teach what they have learnt to freshers, but expect the freshers to have already learnt everything. They are only trying to boss around.

    Rule 2: GAIN SELF CONFIDENCE

    After my graduation and a couple of years intitially into the market as a sales guy, and having not delivered success in terms of market penetration, sales target and such stuff, I was in your shoes.

    Then quit my job and wanted to go back to studies - this was a guise to get away from the horrible world. My level of of self confidence was abyssmal. Appeared for MBA and was even hesitant to look up the marks obtained, for I was confident that a dunce like me would have not even qualified. My self esteem was so low.

    Three days prior to begining of the admissions, went to check my marks and what a shock. I have done wonderfully well. My admission was possible in a premier institute. But then, I was too late.

    This taught me a lesson - Dont give up on yourselves.

    Rule 3: TALK TO FRIENDS / CONFIDANT

    Talk to friends about everything in your life. Good, bad, high, low and everything. Share with them, celebrate their highs, share their lows and yes you will learn to see others point as well.

    My friend in life on whom I can rely on at any point of time is Shashikant, now in USA. We have shared our good and bad times together. If there is something that I need and he has it - I know it is mine. Same is the other way. If he needs something and I have it, it is his.

    Rule 4:COMPARTMENTALISE YOUR LIFE

    Dont carry one part of your life to another, and let both of them give you pain. What I mean to tell you is if you have a problem at office, leave the problem at the office when you go home. Dont carry your problem home. Your home life gets affected with your problem at office, and your pain only increases.

    Rule 5: HE WHO WORKS MOST, GETS MOST WORK.

    Managers tend to dump work on the work horse. Do your work and that' it. Dont do others work for them, however sweet their request maby be.

    Rule 6: TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY.

    Without family you are nothing and hence they have to get priority in life. Take time out to celebrate and enjoy your life with them. They provide an ideal channel to uwind. Dont trouble them with your problems at office. Similarly dont let your family problems affect your social circle.

    Above all, be always positive, have happy thoughts and have an spirit that says never say die.

    Good luck and cheers............!

    Enjoy your life to the fullest..

    Hi Sneha,
    Please read the following passages:

    "Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid of them! The Lord your God will go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you". (Deuteronomy 31:6)

    "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand". (Isaiah 41:10)

    "I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe". (Psalm 4:8)

    "I am leaving you a gift - peace of mind and heart". (John 14:27)

    "Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace". (Ephesians 4:3)

    Sneha, even if you are not religious or spiritual, these passages are very comforting to read when there is so much turmoil in the world today. I believe that you can create your own confidence. It takes dedication to yourself, but it is achievable. Your life is NOT worthless at all. You were created for a purpose. You may not know what the purpose is, or may never know, however your life is far more valuable than you believe. Think about the people around you; your family, your friends, all of your loved ones, your own family [if you have one], people you meet in your travels (at the grocery store, the bank, at your office [if you work outside the home], the doctor's office, your own neighbours). Think about how any ONE of those people would feel if all of a sudden you were gone. Think very carefully. You do not realize how much your life impacts everyone else's life around you. You don't know this because you don't think about it. Most of us don't. We are too busy to stop and think about much at all. I want you to know that you have touched my heart tonight as I respond to your question. You have just added another person to your list of people who wouldn't know what to do without you. All because you asked a simple question. Mental peace begins in your heart. If you settle your heart, you will settle your mind. If you need to forgive someone, do it. If you need to discuss something that is out of sorts with someone, do it. If you find that the world is too confusing for you, don't think about it. Block it out. The world will carry on anyway.

    Find a quiet place each day and if you can, sit near a tree or a patch of grass and just look around you. Feel the breeze. Smell the air. Daydream if you want. Look at the colors you see. Hear the sounds near and far. Acheiving peace of mind is clearing it of "stuff" first. Once you do that, you will feel life is worth something again. Bless you, Sneha. May you find the peace you are searching for.

    ps. my vote for Best Answer is Funk Doc. It's exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks Doc!

    I don't think it is mental peace that you are searching for but mental stimulation. Try taking up walking, even if it is only to go to the shop and back. Try to think of positives while you are walking and smile. I think you are at a dead end and need to back up a bit to change direction.

    Find something you like to do. For example, a couple months ago, I bought a really crappy $300 dirt bike somewhat out of the blue and spur-of-the-moment (nobody I know is into that stuff) and found that I reeeeally like to ride it. There are really pretty areas to ride along where I live too, where you can just take in the world as it's zooming past (kinda cheesy).
    Having a good conversation with a friend and having genuine fun with friends generally puts me in a really good mood at the end of the day, too. That goes for spontaneity, too.
    I think a lot of pressure is put on people to live a certain social life, too. I think friends are very important, but that doesn't necessarily mean popularity is. I know people who know tons of people and put up a front of being close to them all, but I know happier people who disregard popularity and develop real relationships, even if it's just with one friend.
    Try not to take things too seriously and realize that whatever you're doing won't last, so don't put all your hope in it. That sounds kinda negative, but you won't get let down when you for example, find that you're bored of doing something you thought you really liked.
    You have to want to enjoy life too. I think some people like to say they're depressed, but never really want to get out of that state, since it's what gets people to feel sorry for them and it gets attention/compassion. Even if they don't realize it, they won't let themselves rise out of their rut because of mentalities like that.
    Another thing, even if you have no interest in religion, I'm reading this book Mere Christianity by CS Lewis (Narnia author) and it's got some good stuff about life in there. Talks about focusing on working on yourself, then letting that basically emanate out to other parts of your life.

    Please yourself... Just simply what makes you happy.

    Start by soothing the 5 senses. Touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell...

    Touch something soft, wear a soft shirt, or pet a cat or dog.

    Taste a favorite food! Go enjoy something you havent had in awhile. I love peach iced tea snapple like crack!

    for sight, enjoy a pretty picture, artwork, maybe flowers..

    sound of course is music.. and sing to music! believe me, when you dont feel like singing, thats when you need to the most.

    And smell.. put on a favorite colonge or perfume, light insense. i dunno..

    There really is nothing to fear. Once you have seen it all, and done it all, fear was nothing more than not knowing... Why not face your fears, that will add some spice to your life.

    Personally I try to give back to the people whenever I can. even if its holding the door open for someone, or volunteering for something.. maybe you should offer your help to someone who would totaly appreciate it. A lot of people arent as fortunate. Ya know, maybe be a big brother or sister. Help someone else not make the mistakes we all do in life. Although that is part about learning!

    I would have to say, please yourself first. Find a hobby or 2. And do something to help others. I come on here to answer computer questions, because I'm good at it. It's all worth it when I see a smile from someone =)

    Sometimes we have to take the talents we have, and share them with the world. We all have a purpose here, sometimes we figure them out later in life. Just keep on doing what you do, who knows, you might have some people looking up to you.

    You don't always have to do "good things" to be a good person. Some times we even do things that might be negative.. but overall we learn from our mistakes. Thats what makes us human. If you feel like you're in a slump, just enjoy some time with yourself or friends. You will bounce back. Just keep a positive attitude, and keep singing. =) Share smiles, and stay around positive people. And when you come on yahoo, share what you learn or know with others. We all appreciate it.

    I have found God in many ways, shapes and forms. I'm not going to preach about religion, but it helps to go and learn. If anything you get like free food and meet tons of nice people =P

    I bet you can't tell me your life is worthless until you show me a receipt for the actual cost of your life.
    The only reason you can't continue to do good or find peace is because you have an attitude of failure and are allowing the tensions and fear overwhelm you.
    Another thing could be how others treat or talk about you.
    Creating confidence is simple, the challenges of daily life is the puzzle you have to solve.
    Figuring out the confusions allow your mind to study the problem at a leisure pattern of thought where a solution comes as an idea.
    You just said you 'can't continue to do good things', meaning you have done them but apparently you received no satisfaction because you expected some response from the person you did a good thing to.
    Forget it.
    The good thing you do is to make you happy, not for the duty of saving the world.
    When you do a good thing only to do a good thing, your mind will be at peace.

    You just have to no that in your life there will be highs and lows ups and downs. Your life is not worthless. Think about it. You are so lucky to be born a human. I mean really out of all the other planets in the galaxy, you were born on Earth. And, not only were you born on earth you were born a human on earth, not a fly or a rat. A human. Just try not to focas so much on what is wrong with your life...because, most likely there is something that is good. No matter how small that thing is, it still matters. Things will get better, trust me. Just try to keep a positive outlook on life. =)

    ~~You need to work for yourself. If there is anything which interests you, get involved. If you have hopes for a career, set goals to achieve that dream. It sounds a if you have a depression problem, and you may need professional help to work through it. But try to get involved with a passion you have, lots of exercise and fresh air, time for yourself to relax and a bit of pampering with whatever you like (long bubble baths) join a team sport and get excited about a game. If you can;t motivate yourself, then seek guidance through the medical field, a close trusted friend or relative, a clergy. There is just so much life to live and experience, don;t cheat yourself from a minute of it. Find what makes you tick and everything falls into place.Best of luck and I hope you fell better soon!~~

    Dry your eyes
    Don't be sad
    You're worthless
    Your tears mean nothing at all
    If you live and you die
    In a dream, in a lie
    Who will ever be the wiser?
    Close your eyes
    Don't be sad
    You're worthless
    Your pain means nothing at all
    Unseen and unknown
    Alive but alone
    Why end a life
    That's no life at all?

    Ive struggled with your same problem. You have to ask yourself what you enjoy doing. I know this probably wont work the first time or even the next ten times becuase ive been through it trust me. Just keep asking yourself what do you want to do, what is best for you. Just find your comfort zone but give yourself time, progress will come slowly just be patient.

    I understand. The first step to is to go talk to someone. I have been thinking of going back to therapy.

    Monday, call your local mental health clinic. Ask for intake.
