very depressed

I am feeling very sad today.. so many bad things have happened in the past 4 months..

I lost my brother in may ... cant cope with that

I lost my job in June due to budget cuts to education.. and I live very rural and jobs are scarce.. I send resumes out 4-5 a week and I have exhausted a 100 mile radius.. it seems.

I feel discouraged and alone..
I try to pretend to smile and that everything is wonderful and its not.. I try to be positive then get knocked down. again.. it just seems like I cant not get my head up. And I hate feeling out of control and alone.. Im strong so I hate feeling weak.

Any jokes to make me laugh would be appreciated..

I wrote some poems on poets corner.. some about my brother ( Gary Lynn, and Loss) and life and nature and my kids..

My condolences on the loss of your brother. sad flower
However, I am sure he would want you to be happy.

Life, unfortunately, is a very temporary experience.
It's much too short to waste it away lamenting about
the past. Simply put one foot in front of the other dancing and try to enjoy it while you can. Perhaps take shortstop dancing dog out to the park and meet some new friends. handshake

Keep sending out those resumes, all you need is one "yes" thumbs up among thousands of "no".
Persistence is a key to success in anything.peace
thanks jim
hi country....wave

through the years i have lost many love ones including my dear father...

the last couple of years is much more difficult because of my divorce followed the death of my mother in law whom i love and adore so much. It seems the world fell down on my shoulder, but life must go on. It's not so easy but i found courage to move on with the help and support of my friends...

Life seems to be unfair but i always believe that things happen for a reason...

Besides, the strongest people are not those who always win but those who stand up when they fall....wave
country...everything will be fine with you soon.....
don't lose courage....wave
Dont worry everything will be fine we alll pray 4 u
CL hope u could play the clip; it's the song 'Broken wings'

I just got off the phone with friend living in northern North Dakota near the Canadian border.

He said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling.

The temperature is dropping way below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force.

His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare.

He says that if the storm gets much worse, he may have to let her in.
country,

I do not have nay jokes but I have a hug and hopefully a word of comfort when I say that you do not struggle alone. Though many may not talk openly about their troubles we ALL have them some more some less but they are there.

Stay strong and surround yourself with good , sincere caring people....time makes all things better.teddybear
Country,
Don't lose your fighting spirits, do it for your kids!hug If you're a Christian just come to Jesus Christ, maybe this is the time to close to Him and receive His bless for you...

Your brother is in Heaven now (just believe) and watching you, to make sure that you keep strong and have faith in better future. Goodluck and God bless you! hug hug
teddybear lips thank you... and i hope he lets the wife in soon..lol
@ feelinglost....You made me smile. That was very funny..laugh
thank you Monte.. they were funny.. hug
Im' sorry for your losses.Things can and will improve,ONE DAY AT A TIME.A yard at a time and a cloud of dust is a tough way to get in the end zone.Sometimes its the only way and its no fun till that last yard.
Think of the great memories you still have of your brother,nothing can take those.
The job outlook, we all hope and pray will improve for you and everybody.Id' love to live in a rural area, thats the only reason I dont'.The scarcity of jobs.
Sometimes a temporary low dose anti-depressant may help.There's no stigma about taking it these days.Every human being is gonna struggle with depression at some point.
Oh yeah and prayer will certainly help.Yours and ours.
Country.. I dont seem capable of telling you jokes when you've had such a loss,but other have helped you out !!Try to cheer up !!teddybear teddybear teddybear bouquet
many thanks guys..
keep your head up, just when you are about to give up that's when the universe sends a blessing your way! you should try facebook to ask if anyone know's someone or their job are doing any hiring. Put your skills out there and someone probably will help you. good luck to you and hope everyday will get better for you! sorry for the loss of your brother.
One reason to appreciate life in a given moment is that it can always get worse. I don't know whether it is helpful to you, but this thought sometimes helps me. Horrible to lose a brother though, I don't know whether I would be able to cope too. Being always strong may not be the best thing, a good cry is very helpful for the soul. You feel better. rose Take care and my best wishes!
bouquet thank you queen so much

bouquet Joy many thanks..
Sorry to hear about your brothercrying. I have no joekes at the moment, but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you all the luck that you can find a job. I hope everything gets better for you soon. hug

I am feeling a bit stronger today ... must be every ones thoughts and prayers.. I can never thank you for your kindness you have shown me.. teddybear purple heart
