Where am I going?

[Anonymous]

Though it probably sounds petty, I'm feeling about as down as I ever have in my life. My career is not going the way I thought it would and my girlfriend decided to "take a break" and/or dump me. On top of this, my family moved away and my friends aren't nearly as close as they used to be. I keep getting older but nothing seems to change. If you have time, please keep me in your prayers. Many thanks.

You are definitely in my prayers. I've definitely felt the same as you at times and can relate.

Prayers for you. I was once the same place, couldnt find a good job, got dumped by the love of my life, etc. But hang in there, it will get better, I promise.

If you ever need anyone to talk to, please feel free to im me.

Please focus on the good in life, which -- even though things seem very dim right now -- there is good in your life.

And reach out. To someone. Anyone. There are all kinds of people who will listen to you and care. Many of them are here on Hornfans. We are a community and we care.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Hang in there, man. The reward for outlasting tumultuous and trying times is worth more than you can ever imagine. I've had the exact same issues in the past few years, God's honest truth. It's tough, but I believe that the Lord tests those that can handle it so they can reveal the strength that they have inside themselves to ride out the storm. Use this forum as often as you like, and PM any of us on here. I can't count how many nights of better sleep and calm thoughts I can attribute to the words from others on this site.

send me a PM if you'd like to get some things off your chest. I check in a couple times a day.

Thanks so much to everyone. It hurts to breathe, but at least I'm breathing again. This was just such a terrible week...my boss is down my throat about everything and I have no idea what I'd do next if I quit or got fired. My brother and sister both moved away, and frankly they were two of my best friends.

And then the girl I love says "We may be right, but there is also a good chance there is someone out there better for each of us." Everything was too perfect with her. Our families loved each other, we had the same life/family/career goals, and just clicked in that best friend style. I guess she thinks the excitment of our first months dating has been replaced with comfortablility, and she doesn't like it. The thing that hurts more is that I had recently decided that she very well could be "the one" I want to marry, and now she's out of my life. She dropped this bomb on me when I got to her place, and she already had my stuff boxed up and ready to go. The next night, I tried calling her and it was nearly as bad as the call on Swingers. I'm giving it a few days before I talk to her again, but I'm not optimistic. I have the perpetual ache in the gut. I haven't eaten in three days. I don't want to get out of bed, but now I have to go to work to get yelled at by my boss.

I'm only 26, but I thought my life would be more settled by now. I have no idea what I'm doing or what direction my life is headed. Sorry about this, I just really need to get this stuff off my chest.

be strong. i promise you are going to get through this and will look back on it as a large moment in your life. you will be a better and stronger person for experiencing this low. you do have people that care about you even if you do not think so right now. keep your head high and start preparing for success and happiness.

hang in there.things will get better. I know that feeling of how it hurts so much to breath, but you will get through it, trust me I know.

when things seem so bad you don't know what to do, there is always someone there for you and there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

I am able to understand now that things all happen for a reason and God is the only one who knows why these things happen. So have faith in him and I promise you will get through this

I feel some sad sense of of coincidence. Based on the recommendation of a Cactus Cafe thread, I bought the Ryan Adams album "Heartbreaker". I literally put it into my cd player for the first time about 10 minutes before I got the final call from her.

I don't want to be a prayer hog, but I feel like crap. I still have no appetite, and when I'm at work I just stare at my email's inbox. When new messages do come in, I say a prayer it will be from her. I never realized how much I truly hated SPAM until now.

The only thing that distracts me from my pain is the knowledge that football season is only 4 days away. If all this stuff had happened in June, I'd be in a world of hurt.
