I remember how beautiful it was, when I first began blogging, how eager and innocent my attitude was. I remember how it felt to make new friends and how joyous it all seemed. I was in such a lonely situation, having the love of my life leave me when I was just about to ask her to marry me.
In many ways, blogging saved me. I had new friends that listened to what I had to say. People actually cared that my life had been nearly destroyed. Most of my family is gone an so are most of my friends. I have been burned to a crisp by love and risen from the ashes time and time again.
There must come a point when a person can no longer rise, shouldn’t there? I often wonder why I am still here. There must be a reason, yet in my heart, I feel empty. I feel cold and alone. I feel like I no longer want to be in this life.
When growing up, I thought I would graduate from college, meet the girl of my dreams and live happily ever after. It didn’t work that way for me and for those of you that are lucky enough to have that kind of life, do not ever forget how fortunate you are.
That wondrous feeling I once had for blogging, much like my dreams of love, have wilted like petals from a dying flower. I got all caught up in the technical aspect of blogging and it has completely destroyed my drive to even read a single post. It has become a passionless chore for me to get up and write.
Can someone die from a broken heart? I don’t know, but it must surely be better than living with one. Many of you might not understand how hard it is to wake up everyday alone and know that when you go to sleep, you will go to sleep alone. It’s a feeling that I can no longer bear.
I don’t know if I will be back to ever write another post. I am so depressed and sad right now, I wish I could give you an answer. All I know is that this blog, which once meant so much to me, feels dead. I feel dead.
Some of you who know me well, know I suffer from depression. I have never hidden anything about myself from you. Right now, I am very sick, very scared and very empty. I love my friends very much. I wish I felt normal and happy, but I do not.
I constantly think of deleting this blog and lately when I write, it’s all I think about. I am truly sorry that I am telling you this. I hope I can feel better soon, but it is making me sick just writing this. I hope I feel better one day, but I do not think it will be soon. I just want this feeling to go away.
In the event that I do not return, I want to say, goodbye.

This is my first visit to your blog, and I am so sorry that your spirits are low. But I do know you are loved. I came here by virtue of several other bloggers who created posts in support of you. Have you tried thinking about just how much you are loved and would be missed if never heard from again? You’d even miss getting to meet great new people like me! Try and keep your head up and trust that your presence is desired by a lot of people. And I am now one of them.

Hey Bobby,
You don’t know me and i don’t know you but i read your post and i was touched by it.
Life can be unfair sometimes. I know it, i’ve lost some very close loved ones when i was only a teenager and i felt despair. I know the empty feeling you have mentioned but remember, none of this feelings last forever. Know that there is always hope, know that the sunrise ALWAYS follows the night.
Life is a gift even if it’s not always easy. It’s normal to be dissatisfied sometimes with the current situation, we are evolving being and we always need to renew ourselves. So when we feel stuck, it’s a sign that it is time for us to do something else. But the answer is within you. Once you learn to quiet the inside “chatter” and focus more on what you want, the problems will dissolve and a new way will appear. You will meet new people, develop new passions and find new love. All you have to do is BELIEVE it is possible and it is coming your way.
It’s a promise. Now be strong!
I’m available if you need to talk.

Hey Bobby. In regards to your blog, I think everyone goes through how you feel at one point or another, at least those with a blog similar to yours. If I were in your position, I would this yourself some time away from this blog and see how you feel after that. Maybe you’ll find that it’s THIS blog you don’t want to work on anymore and not blogging in general. In that case, maybe the topics you cover on here (business, blog tips) just aren’t what you should focus on or you need to let yourself out of that box (i.e. write about more stuff or stuff that you’re really keen on).
And I’m really sad to hear that you’re having such a down day. Depression hits us all from time to time, of course some more than others. Just remember that no matter what you’re doing, online or off – There’s plenty of people who care about you. Maybe when you get a chance, you should think about calling up someone random in your phone book and just go grab dinner and a movie and a drink. Sometimes you just need need someone to talk to in order to feel a bit better.
In any event, know that we’re all thinking about you and hoping to hear from you soon. (#):)

Hi Bobby,
I am so sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well, I too have days when I can’t deal with the kinds of feelings that you’re having. I just want to say that although you can’t see it right now because of the way that you feel, there’re a lot of people that Love you!
Just take each moment as it comes and get through it, you can talk to me, I am here for you man. If there is anything that I can do to help you through this day I will. I hate to see anyone suffer like you are at this very moment, and I am ashamed to say that the best advice that I can give you is what I tell myself.
This too will pass, get through this terrible day and think better thoughts. The feelings that you are experiencing right now are all because of the way that you are thinking. Think of one good thing, that makes you feel better and keep doing that until you are back to the Bobby that I know is in your heart.
Love, Peace, Hope and Joy to you my friend,
Jeff

Obviously, I do not know you. But I do know your way of thought.
Every word of your message tells me you think too much about what you don’t want.
You need to understand something…what you think about the most is what you see showing up.
Don’t think about what you do not want. — Think about what you do want!
Wherever you spend your most thought is what you are attracting to yourself. It’s that simple. At a minimum, our thought and interpretations about what is happening to us has been proven to be directly related to what we are thinking about “the most”.
If you want to feel better…think differently!
How many more ways can I say it???
Change the way you are thinking and you will no longer be depressed.
Catch yourself in the very thought you are thinking right now and DECIDE to think about something else which you can be grateful for. Something you do want!
Stop thinking “I do not want to be depressed” (or whatever is causing your depression), and start thinking “I am grateful for . It’s impossible to be depressed if you are constantly grateful.
Stop saying “why does this always happen to me” type questions. That’s a dumbass question!
Start asking “what can I do right now thats going to make me happy”!
Ask quality questions!
Do it and you’ll feel better instantly…yes, INSTANTLY
Maybe not earth shaking different, but you will have started in the direction which you really want to be.
Like playing a guitar, the more you do it, the better you get at it.
Let’s face it! I bet you’ve spent a lot of thought talking yourself into depression. You now need to spend as much thought thinking, doing and being, your way out.
We all get depressed! It’s a matter of how long you want to stay there.
Some people stay days, weeks, months and years. However, change happens in an instant! You are the decider of when change takes place. If you decide to be happy, and constantly create ways to become grateful, you will have triggered the fruition of happiness. If you do not have anyone to turn to, get involved in your community and find way to help. This alone gives purpose.
Your next step is to continue to catch yourself each time you are experiencing a depressing thought, and change your thought to one which is more advantageous to you.
Keep in mind this is not an overnight answer, but rather a way of “becoming”. A disciplined way of thinking which allows you to feel better. You will experience results immediately ever how subtle they may be.
Remember, what you think about the most is what you are attracting to yourself.
My observations is even if the thing you are thinking to yourself is saying “I don’t want to be depressed”, ironically, you are attracting depression to yourself by thinking that thought.
Think about what you do want!!!!!!!!
Note this: Experts say 97% of the thoughts you have today are the same thoughts you had yesterday.
The good news is we have 3% new thought per day.
Consciously grab one of those thoughts which you are grateful for and focus on that.
Change your interpretation of what you believe is happening to you. Just because you think the way you do today, does not mean you have to think this way tomorrow, or even a minute from now. THE PAST DOES NOT EQUAL THE FUTURE!
I’LL close recommending A book you might consider.
As A man Thinketh – by James Allen
No, I’ll close with this…
We’re all connected and it’s not natural to end your own life. In my opinion, that is a selfish act. You act as though you do not serve a purpose and you only affect yourself.
I do not know your purpose, but I do know we are all connected and if you end your life, you are f*#@in up the system.
Be grateful!…………..for anything! ……..If you can’t think of anything, you’re not thinking in the right space hard enough!
May you find the peace you are seeking,
Russ

Dear Bobby,
I am so sorry to hear you had your heart broken. I want you to stop and think about how you have played such an important role in peoples lives over the Internet. You are kind, sensitive, caring, loving and the list can go on and on. This is her loss. Things happen for a reason. I know it can be difficult to think or hear those words, but they are very true.
I am grateful to have met an individual like yourself and you will always be in my prayers. You are not alone. I added another poem/song I wrote when I was in so much pain and felt like I was trapped in this body of pain. God has lead me to meet people such as yourself. Without people like you, I would feel useless and worthless. Think about it, I believe people cross paths for a reason. We have met for a reason. Let me take that pain away and listen to me as I say “You are needed in this world
”
The cards we are dealt in life are only those that we can handle. We just have to remember that. Which is why we are all here to tell you…….You are loved and needed by all of us.
Love Your Friend,

I stopped by here a few times to check to see how you were doing. At times it can be tough when you feel that you don’t have the stength to overcome the obstacles that stand in your way. You can get past them. I felt like my world had come to an end when my fiancee was killed in an accident. My daughter wasn’t even born then but I was able to make it. As anitbarbie said your mind is extremely powerful use it. You have a lot of people that truly care how you are doing. You have a strong support system.
You’re in my thoughts.

I do hope that you sense the love and support that is sent your way..
But please, do take care of yourself now!
Blog whenever it feels right, when it HELPS you. When it helps you deal with your feelings, when it helps you to feel better. Otherwise, it will wait for you, that blog isn’t going anywhere!
Just don’t make any irreversible decisions now. Not concerning your blog, or any other thing.
Find stuff you like to do, that help you feel better. Find someone you can relate to, to talk to. To help you sort out what’s going on with you right now, and what the best step forwards are..
Take care, my warmest wishes to you…

One thing I found out is that you are never alone in this world. I too suffer (ed) from depression and felt as you did…but the one thing that you cannot do is lose hope. Hope is the one thing that God has given us to hold on, to wake up to another day. Because believe it or not, every day does get better, every week does get easier, the pain and isolation does go away. But you have to want it to…
I wish you all the best…

I too have been where you are at. I suffer from severe depression much as you describe. So please know that I do have a total and complete understnading.
In the past few weeks the same thoughts have run through my mind about deleting my blog. And for exactly the same reasons you have listed. But, I am trying to hang in there. But, I too am re-assessing if I may have taken on too much.
And please know Bobby that I do not need nor do I expect a reply. My God we have bombarded you when you need peace the most. But, you see so many of us truly do care. Have a good run Bobby and as I stated in my comments to you….we will all be here for you when you are ready.

Hi Bobby, this is my first time to visit your blog, i read your story from Jon. I hope and pray all is well. I know how hard it is when you are broken hearted, but i believe that you are a strong person and a fighter in the struggles that we go through in life.
In time, you will see that by going over this very difficult ordeal in your life you’ve come out a stronger and better person. It always helps to pray and to pour out all that you feel to God. Never be afraid to cry. Sometimes we do not understand God’s reasons, why some things must end, why we have to feel heartbreak and desperation, why some people have to leave us, but always remember in everything, there is a reason and the reason is always good.
It may be that God is preparing you for something or someone much better and deserving of your love. Hang in there, there is always a rainbow after a storm. It may be difficult now, but only time can heal the pain of a broken heart. One day, at the right moment in time, you will meet the right one for you, and you will be thankful of this heartbreak because it made you much stronger, wiser and a better person. And it led you to the right pathway, to a love that is more beautiful and that is meant for you.

I wish you well, but no people can’t die from broken hearts they can only choose to languish is the misery or choose to move on and experience life. Life is large, life on earth encompasses a vast planet full of experiences of all types not limited to the self indulgent and the self preserving.
Very few people live the little white house picket fence dream.
Love yourself enough to get help if you can not shake the feeling.I think your fans would like to see you return.
Blogging is what it is and maybe not worrying about all that technical stuff, which mean little anyway in the scheme of things, and enjoying each and every little weird experience and poem and piece of writing is the way to go.
There is much worth living for and I hope you can find your way out of the tunnel. There is light there believe me.
I hope to see you soon.

Get yourself whatever help you need, hang on to hope, know that you are not alone and that suffering is everywhere in the human condition.
The only decision you have to make right now is to hang on until you can find a way to make things better. Then just take it one step at a time. Just one tiny step.

I found your blog thru Santa. You’re not alone. I know what you are feeling and then some, only -there is someone here with me. He just chooses not to see me. At times I feel as if I am only here because he needs someone to cook, clean and care for his children. When I need someone he walks away and says good luck with that problem. When I break down and cry he says to get over it or again, simply walks away. When I try to hug and kiss him he complains.
My ex-husband was no better. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve already died of a broken heart. I wonder if there is something wrong with me. I know your pain. If you ever need someone to talk to, I am here.

Hey man, I was pointed your way from another blogger friend.
I can understand your feelings. I’ve also battled depression in the last while, and I’ve been through some of the same experiences. Nothing in my life has turned out the way I planned or expected. I never completed college like I planned, and I had 2 fantastic women who I was more than willing to marry, go on to marry other men within years. I’m stuck in a job I hate, and a life I find boring.
You’re right, living with a broken heart is a pain no one else can comprehend. You suffer quietly every waking second. Your soul longs to detach and join that other person for whom you care for so much. It’s hard to watch everyone else around you live a normal life while all you want to do is wall yourself off. I understand because I’m there too.
That being said, I want to share with you why I continue to open my eyes each day. People may say these reasons are selfish and self-destructive, but they are compelling for me to keep me going:
1) I want to see how bad it gets. Sure, it’s masochistic, but I honestly believe innovation is born from pain, suffering, despair. Man has always made some type of innovation because of adversity, and this feeling is the ultimate adversity.
2) It keeps me grounded, it becomes my strength. My “dark” feelings allow me to be objective. To plan for the worst (which is useful in my job). To not be swayed by emotions when making decisions, even if it means to go against everyone or to piss everyone off. If i can channel my deepest hatred, fears, and loneliness it can empower me to push myself to do things I don’t normally do. This for me is the hardest as I fall over to one side or the other which can result in fits of depression or spontaneous fits of indulgence.
3) Happiness is an illusion. Love doesn’t exist. There is only contentment in the here and now. I have existed in the past, but I can’t go back to change it or re-experience it. I can’t fear the future because it hasn’t been written yet. I live in the here and now. I can only hope to find pleasure and contentment in this very moment before moving on and leaving the past where it belongs. In the past. Reading of Buddhist texts has lead me to fully believe in this statement. It’s hard to truly comprehend, and even more difficult to follow. But it does give me respite from the “darker” feelings, and allows me to balance my life better.
It’s my hope that sharing my feelings, my thoughts, and my pattern for life can help you in some way, even if it is to think about your own feelings and to help you mold your own parth for life. I truly wish you the best and the fortitude to find your way to contentment.

Hi Bob,
This life is hard and I feel the same way, I thought I’d have already finished college, gotten married, have my own house and kids, my own job. I’m 26 and I still don’t have any of those things yet. But I’m working on them.
I may not know exactly how you feel but I know what it feels like to be alone and depressed, feel like your worthless and ask why I am still here? I’ve even though myself that I wish I didn’t exist because I hated the way this world is being run and destroyed by the people in power.
Your a great blogger and you shouldn’t give up so easyly in your life. It’s like your in a fire and when you come out of it you’ll be that shinning sword or golden crown tha’ts forged from within.

I might not be your best of friends, but now i will see to it that the fire and passion to live with purpose returns. Dont worry..the times will change..they always do.

my heart is broken too! its the reason why i browse on the blogs bout broken heart. i happen to read urs. i felt the pain. u know, i cant even describe mine or perhaps i refused not to bcoz i know that in doing this il let this pain kill me. I feel like a deadman walking ryt now. no emotions, nothing on my mind, only pain in my heart. there were nights on awakening my tears would just fall. my eyes are all swollen every morning. im afraid a few more days and my eyes wont open again. but i still want to sleep, and sleep, and sleep until i could finally forget. but its stupid! i cant forget just by sleeping or try even the best of my ability to forget. this will never go away. Pain, i realized is good only when one can rise from its depressing power. And grieving has its stages. I came to a couple of stages and still struggling for another one. tomorrow will b another of stuggling but i refused to accept things. and then i asked myself, DO I HAVE A CHOICE? NONE! I LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT HE’S GONE AND HE’S NOT COMING BACK!……… So wat am i supposed to do now? die of loneliness? i wished! but it wont. missing him is killing me but i realized he’s not mine. He has his own life and its his choice. then i take charged of mine. i deleted all his pix on my computer. then when i was brave enough to forget him and finally, let go… i deleted his no. on my phone. ( i never memorized his no.) do i have a choice now? i cant call him anymore. so sad and i missed him so much but i cant even call him just to hear his voice. i just have to forgwet now. feeling well is not on my list at least for a time. and i dont feel bad about it. im taking my time. no one can push me back to life where im supposed to. i wanted to cry again but i think my tears ducts have dried up. its so difficult to feel the lost and yet u cant cry. somehow i realized i cant do that anymore bcoz i’ve done dat before. perhaps im now recovering, little by little. so wat? it may take years to wait for this wound to heal but i know it will and i will wait. the world will wait for me by the time that il b back. so Bobby, try not to think of getting well soon, coz only time heals a broken heart. and wen i do, i promised to b back and post a blog bout my story of broken heart and promises.

I’m sorry Bob. I wish I could make you a plate of cookies or something to make you feel better. All these comments are a sign you are cared about.
Depression is hard. I’ll pray for you to feel God’s love. Its the only thing in life we can really count on.

Hi Bob,
I will not telling you about how wonderful you are, I don’t even know you. I strarted with this bloging thing a few days ago. But I really know what depression is, ‘couse I suffer mysefl from.
I don’t even know to writte ehglish in proper way, so I made lots of writing mistakes, but hope you’ll understand what I’m writing.
I’m from Croatia, maybe you have never even heard where it is, but in my 38 years of life, I have expirience of, lost my father, when I was 17, lost my bes girl friend ( she commited suicide), lost my best boy friend ( died from heroin), WAR, when I was 22 in my country was civil war.
On my hometown falls 3000 granate dayly, my boyfriend was in the army at that time, and it last for a 5 years. In 21′th century my town lived with no electricity and watter for a 4 years… and so and so… Here in Europe..
Now is much better, there is no work, there is no hope, there is no idea how to go on.
BUT I’m still alive, I’m taking my pills and fighting, becouse I don’t want to let life beats me. There is always possibility that you don’t want to go on, that you want to cut with all and that you don’t want your live. But beleve me, I’m suffering as you are, I know how your mornings are, how your evenings are, and know that you laying in bed every night with will not to wake up in the morning… know everything about this…
And I know one more thing, if you have no will to live for your self, you have to live for those people who loves you. I know there is plenty of them..
Now when I writing to you, eather beside all this people who can read this, I can feel your soul, can feel your pain, can take away a little bit of this and transmit to myself and let you feel a bit better.
Love is the only thing that living is worth for, but love between men and women is not the only love that is worth. Look how many people here who loves you, who need you to be here. So be here, stay here. To die is the easiest way, but only life can bring you the only thing that is worth. LOVE.
Fight baby, I’m with you in my thouts… and be here, I’ll check you..

Karen…I am not going to die (at least I hope not). Blogging has changed for me over the past few months and it’s brought me a TON of stress. I hope I can get the negative out of my system

Thanks Jean. You have always been so nice to me but I just don’t feel like I carrying my weight. For me, blogging is like this: I read and then comment on everyone of my friends posts. After that I may write a post. If after that I have no ideas, any money posts or technical posts come last. I wish I could do it differently.Thanks for everything.

Nafa, I placed you in the highest regards of any group blog EVER. I felt TERRIBLE after I started my blogging for friends project and it seemed to end our friendship. I will tell you why. In your post, you only hinted that I even had a project. You did not even mention the name of the project, nor did you link to my post.
That really hurt. The name of my project was it the html text of the emblem that you created, but I had to hunt to find it. Then the emblem linked back to your post. I hope you don’t hate me for saying this, but that is not a very nice thing to do. I was extremely disappointed in your actions and I actually couldn’t believe it.
It killed it for me. I had planned to write an individual review of EVERY single entry in the project – making your post the star of them all. I was even going to write an entire post about how you made the emblem and what it stood for.
It doesn’t stand for you, myself or any individual. It was supposed to be an unlinked emblem representing all friends. I want this ridiculous lack of communication between you and I to stop. We are friends, not competitors.
I don’t know how you will feel after reading this. Your post should have been written with a link to my post. That’s what I would have done had you wrote it. I asked you before you did the emblem, to make sure it was unlinked.
I want my friends at Nafa back. Without you, I don’t want to blog anymore. You have no idea how much I care about a group of people whom I don’t even know the individuals names. I do care, VERY MUCH. Never forget that. I want to finish this project. I want us to be friends

I’m trying Marzie. I’m trying so hard. What’s bothering me is spending everyday alone. I have been so sick I can’t even give guitar lessons to my students right now. I am trying Marzie, and trying is a weak excuse from my point of view. I am sorry I have let you down Marzie.

Hi Erina, I just reread the replies I left to the above comments and realized I exhibited rudeness and I now feel a need to edit them. Should I?
I go through cycles of highs and lows and I felt great the past few months thinking maybe I was learning how to feel happy; I was more successful than I have ever been. My depression is a force. It takes hold and buries me in layers upon layers of sadness.
I’m working to come back, but it’ll be a slower pace. Thanks Erina

Hi Christy, I feel better right now so I’m trying write some positive responses while I can. You probably think I’m insane, I assure you that is true. I was certified in the craft of insanity as a child and the family witch doctor said I was incurable.
I will comeback when I need to, hopefully that will be soon.

You have been really nice to me and your friendship means a great deal. My depression didn’t happen because of love or lack thereof. It just happens without warning and for no reason. It happens out of the blue regardless of circumstance.
