Dear Sir
I registered with a second ID just because I am ashamed to post on this thread with my primary ID here.
Coming to the point, I feel similar pain, daily. Every single day, few tears roll down my eyes. I am in a constant state of sadness (depression maybe) & being lost into oblivion, Now it is true that I am weaker, emotionally hollow and very sensitive lonely person with high IQ in early thirtees. I have not received any parental love in my childhood (I have received enough care though & both are different). When I was 25, I found someone who gave me that affection. After few months, that was snatched away from me. That was the feeling which I can describe as: "finding the only thing you have been longing for your entire life for so many years, and then having it taken away after a small demo". I buy high end earphones because that is one thing which takes my sadness away temporarily. I am not sure what I am earning for because nothing seems to delight me. My professional downfall has already begun and I have become defensive.
Mike Johnson's post doesnt't make much sense to me (sorry for saying that) because somewhere down the line I stopped believing in god (or any higher power). I want to start believing again though. Also, the place where I live, so many people and children die daily because of terrorism, hunger, etc. So I have lost hope in everything in general which further fuels my sadness.
What I mean to say is I understand your pain and this will (hopfully) make you stronger. Time should heal you (which hasnt happened in my case strangely).
Sorry about my blabber but I needed to take it out of my mind too. Thanks & be strong.
