Have you ever felt that everything you do, feel or have done means NOTHING?

[Robinrs]

That everything you've tried to accomplish either falls short or has no meaning?

Sorry.. that's just the way I feel.

 

[Serena]

yeah

 

[Mishetta]

Sounds like someone needs a "pick me up." Okay, here goes:

Look at your beautiful son & tell me if you still feel the same way.

(I know how to throw "zingers," don't I? )

Hopefully tomorrow things will look better Robin.

((((((( hugs )))))))))

Daily, Robin, Daily...funny you should post this today...it has been a particularly gloomy one for me.
Hang in there.

Well Robin, not exactly, but I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. Something tells me that, at the very least , with the son I've heard about there's no way what you've tried to accomplish means nothing. You've also been a big help to many here on the Dis, and that also counts for something. Do I sense some frustration?

Robin, you are one of the most uplifting people I know on these boards. I enjoy your posts tremendously. You are always encouraging others and in my book that is being a success and it has a lot of meaning.

You hang in there. God has great things in store for you.

to you, Robin.

You've perfectly summed up my feelings when I was in a severe depression. Even the description brings back that utter feeling of sadness and worthlessness and hopelessness.

If you feel this way on a continual basis, please seek help, OK? You don't have to feel that way.

I know for a fact you are making some wonderful changes in your life and in your son's life. Whenever you do something positive, even something small, it can have a big impact on the world around you in ways you may not even recognize.

Feel free to PM me if you want to chat.

You have achieved the most significant accomplishment, being the Mother of Michael. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

 

[honeywolf7]

Not really, and I agree that your son is quite an accomplishment. I'm sorry you feel down today.

 

[mudnuri]

Thats exactly why I gave my notice at my job, the more I gave the more they expected and the less respect I received.... and the only people getting the short end of the stick was my family. I will tell ya- 2 minutes after giving my notice...the feeling was GONE!

I think most everyone feels the blues sometime or other. You are so blessed to have a great son, Robin, and don't forget those kitties depend on you!

 

[Blondie]

Robin, you are one of the most uplifting people I know on these boards. I enjoy your posts tremendously. You are always encouraging others and in my book that is being a success and it has a lot of meaning.

I couldn't have said it any better!

I can understand where you are coming from though, I think we all feel like this occasionally, some days it's worse than others.

Sending you lots cyber-hugs!

 

[Planogirl]

I've been there but then I look at my son and that's a great starting point. Look at your son Robin and start from there.

 

[NHAnn]

I have felt like that too.
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way.

Some days the accomplishment is making it through the day....and my mom would always say that things will look better in the morning.

Hug your DS....

and ((hugs)) from me to you.

 

[HauntedMansionGeek]

Sometimes, yes, but in two different ways.

One will be in that depressed state of sadness that takes a few days to kick. Never sure if it's hormonal or situational stuff that brings me down to that level though. LOL

The other time is when I just plain feel and realize how insignificant we ALL are as individuals. Those are times that I try extra hard to leave something good behind.......

which I think you already do Robin. Your posts reflect goodness and those are such positive things to be putting out there in the world.

I hope you don't stay blue for too long and that you'll let others help you if it gets too hard to do it by yourself.

 

[Pam]

Yes.

 

[honeywolf7]

i wasn't thinking of it the second way that HauntedMansionGeek put it, but I do feel that way sometimes.

 

[RitaZ.]

Yes, I have had days like that. I hate feling that way, but it happens.

Think about the impact that you have on your son, your family, friends, etc. Surely what you have done and accomplished doesn't mean "nothing". Think about those times when you smile at a complete stranger when you are walking down the street, you may have made his or her day and not even realize it. Yes, we are insignificant in some ways, but in other ways we impact people's lives in ways that we are not even aware.

Anyway, that's what I tell myself when I feel blue.

Right now I am in that spiral toward my extended family, mainly siblings. I am the oldest and put myself out for them for 15yrs.
DH and I want to move far far away and build our own little utopia.
So YEA!

Robin, I'm torn...I'm hoping that it's not because of this board that you're feeling that way...and on the other hand I AM hoping that it is because of this board that you're feeling that way - ya know?

If it IS the DIS - I know for a fact that you have been there for so many people to give them a boost when they are feeling down that there is no way that means "nothing"...on the other hand, if it is the DIS, you can shut it off and walk away for awhile.

If it's not the DIS - just look at Michael - remember how proud he makes you...how could he make you so proud if he didn't have a fantastic mother encouraging him along the way??

I hope you're feeling better about yourself soon.
