I’m feeling hopeless. Do I even have a God, I’ve tried so hard to reach him. But I can’t seem to establish a connection. I just want to be seen and loved. That’s all. I want to feel appreciated, listened to. I want to feel safe. I want to feel like I don’t have to reciprocate anything. But all I feel like is that nobody cares about me. Nobody truly cares. I just feel so isolated and lonely. My head hurts, all I do is cry. I feel sensitive and weak and vulnerable. I’m tired of this. I’m tired of being there for everybody but when I feel down—nobody shows up. To pick me up again. And I know I have to do it but a little help from someone goes a long way. I guess I just want to feel belonged. I want to feel validated and reassured. I want to know if my emotional outbursts are all valid.

Thank you for being strong and for them. You’re loved by God, we try to love ourselves delicately too, it’s needed. But loving others, validation of company and love means you have a shiny kind soul.
Believe in kindness you put to grow.
Just we grow through pain. There are people who wait for you in your future. Maybe they’re going through same.
Our experiences and lives differ, all people we meet need us and we need them, it not mutual trust, you do more, listen more, cry more, you hold their shoulder and feel unseen. Please don’t forget God exists and never stop praying
ReplyDo a Bible study and at the same time that you come to know God you will build a relationship with Him. He will see your effort and from then on be always with you.
ReplyIts ok to be emotional sometimes but it won't improve your situation. Things will get better for you when you change your point of view and expectations. Consider the following. It is a perspective that can have a big impact.
Family members, friends, neighbors, and teachers began labeling us starting at an early age. This continues to this day and along the way we accept and adopt some of these descriptions – I am invisible, anxious, pretty, ugly, fat, skinny, clumsy, athletic, smart, stupid, rude, sensitive, perceptive, naive, sad, serious, worthless, cautious, reckless, emotional, insecure, etc... We began seeing ourselves as this defined limited character (a separate self) and our thoughts and behaviors are consistent with this idea. Our ‘separate self’ character feels incomplete and imperfect and wants to get what is missing while getting rid of problem areas.
When the unwanted happens to us, when the preferred does not, and every time our effort to fix ourselves fail, we often suffer. It comes in the form of agitation, irritation, boredom, regret, disappointment, jealousy, anxiety, depression, fear, loneliness, anger, grief, pain, or some other unwelcomed feeling or sensation.
Each of us are self-aware to an extent but when this knowledge is not clear, our true nature is hidden. A close look reveals that the most common element found in every one of my experiences is my presence – ‘I am there’. When I am sad, I am present there. When I am happy, I am present there. When I am scared, I am present there. When I cry, I am present there. When I feel anxious, I am present there. When I am angry, I am present there. The truth is ‘I AM the always present AWARENESS that has no shape, size, age, race, gender, weaknesses, needs, or demands.’ As undefinable unlimited AWARENESS, I can’t be harmed and, therefore, resist nothing.
The dance of creation is all of GOD’s creatures just experiencing each other and surrounding things. Animals do what they must and then enjoy their down time moments or sleep. After handling our obligations, instead of enjoying ourselves, we usually spend this time trying to make our current situation different / better than it is or think about a past we regret or a possible future we fear. We want and often attempt to acquire and secure preferred objects, circumstances, wealth, activities, and / or relationships expecting them to deliver lasting peace, love, and happiness. Even if we are successful, the satisfaction is temporary. I finally realize that these coveted feelings are not earned, produced, provided, achieved, or possessed. Peace, love, and happiness have always been and will always be our essential nature – how we are at our core. They shine through our being and energize our actions when we remember that this is so.
It starts on the inside.
