I am not sure exactly where it is all coming from, just the basics. I am turning forty this week. I am struggling with my divorce still after 8 months. His b-day is five days after mine. I am feeling useless and worthless and hopeless. As if everyone in my life would be better off without me. My family, my friends, everyone. That I am just a burden and should just disappear. I need a reason to keep on. I really do. Tonight. Michele.

" I dont know you very well hun and dont know what you have going on in your life besides what you've shared but what I do know is that you are a good, decent person and although you're in the pit atm, you will climb back out, you will feel better and you will live your life to its fullest.
I know all that's cliched but it's true.
You need to think about what you would say to a friend if they were in this position and then say it to yourself xxx "

" Oh sweetie. I am so sorry you are feeling this way. Pick one thing, just one. For me it's my animals. Totally dependent on me and totally loving and loyal to me.

On the other side the people in your life would never, ever get over the pain, the devastation, the loss, the questions. I know that's hard to believe, but it's true, so true. You're not the type of person who would do that to someone, especially friends and family.

Stay strong and hang on. So many people love you here, so much. "

" Awww hon, this is the beginning of a new life for you, not the end. Ive been where you are and it cant get any worse hon, it can only get better. I felt like you did and I found my soulmate and married him. Believe this, he was in my grade prep at Primary school and we didnt meet again until we were 32. So dont give up, your a new person now, go for it. Goodluck Hugs Sue "

" Big Hugs, wolfie. You always tell me "this too shall pass". This will pass, dearest. You are not any of those things. You are very lovable. You are very much needed by so many ppl. This dark cloud will go away. I love you, my dear friend.

" 8 months is not a long time so naturally you are feeling the hurt as if it's still fresh. But you are a wonderful person - you are always there for me, to pick me up when I'm feeling down, regardless of how you're feeling at the time. You are selfless, kind, loving and a great friend to me. "
