Feeling down for some reason

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

  Fun Mail a “sounding board”!

I would assume that you can’t talk about what you are going through with anyone because it is too personal and you don’t want others to know about it in relation to you.

The solution, then, might be to pick someone on Fun Advice whose advice you like and Fun Mail them. (You can check out the quality of someone’s advice by clicking on their name; going down to their recent advice, click on view all, then click on the questions that might interest you and view their answers.) Explain to them that you are having problems and want to have someone to use as a “sounding board” and would like to know if they would be willing to be your sounding board. Fun Mail is basically private, so you shouldn’t have any concerns about your privacy.

Although there are many users on Fun Advice who would be qualified, I’d suggest the person be an Advisor, for two reasons: First, most Advisors have several hundred or even thousands of Answers under their belt which can really give you a perspective about them; and second, you can simply click on the Advisors link at the top of the page and view a list of the most recently active Advisors with information about them AND a total of their Answers. (Don’t contact them by that “Ask me a question” link. That’s public. Instead, click on their name which will take you to their Profile page, then click on the “Send me Fun Mail” link on the left side of the page.)

You also have the ability to Fun Mail anyone (Advisor or otherwise) by clicking on the “Send me Fun Mail” link near the top of the Answer under the person’s name.

we all get are bad days!! but one thing I no!!! dont keep it in talk about it!!! I am a project worker and I work with 18-30 year olds!!! doing counselling service!! So please talk!!

even as non-believers we all know that ups and downs are common. EVERYONE has them…to be one or the other all the time is abnormal… perhaps you dwell too much on your problems…maybe you should volunteer to help others…like work with a youth group, or answer phones for an organization.. “oh, woe is me” is not a good outlook… and it will bring you more downs than ups…

perhaps you’re just facing some changes in life…or it could just be a state of puberty (as lame as that may sound!) but whatever it is, don’t bottle it up! talk to your church leader about it, once you have the time or if you can’t wait that long… talk to a friend, a sibling, or even one of your parents! just let it all out!! I hope you feel better soon =)
