It's not about how you fall down, but how you get up.

There are times when I feel like I have no one to turn to. It feels like my life is so empty and that no one cares, sometimes I feel like no one would actually notice if I disappeared. Then again, there are some people who would notice and I just wanted to say that I don’t know what I would do without these people, I don’t think that my life would be worth living.

However I’ve learnt that whenever life is tough there is always someone who is there for you. You may not have seen them yet but there is someone, if you just keep looking you will find them. It may take a while but remember that there is someone out there who just wants to hold you and to be with you and they like you for who you are.

These people are the people who are your true friends, the people who will do anything for you. Don’t let go of them they are precious, and it hurts like hell when you lose one of them, I just hope that I don’t lose another one. I just want to know that there is someone who really loves me out there in that big wide world. So if you’re out there please tell me, I really need it today. So please just tell me that you’re here for me when I need you. Please....

I wrote the above passage when I was being bullied by two people who were originally some of my closest friends, some friends they turned out to be. They bullied me mentaly and occasionally physically and it has taken me some considerable time to get over that and gradually start trusting people again. The following poem helped me to get through everyday:

Keep believing in yourself

take the best of care,

put things in perspective,

remember what's most important,

don't forget that somone cares,

search for the positive side,

learn the lessons to be learned,

and find your way through to

the inner qualities...

the strength, the smiles, the wisdom,

and the optimistic outlook

that are such special parts

of you.

As people say 'it's not how you fall down, but how you get up' I believe strongly in that quote because if you are knocked from the path of life, you get back up and continue along your way.

I've kept all of this to myself for too long, and I wanted to share my experience with people. I'm sorry this is so long but it has taken me a long time to have the courage and strength to write this.

Leave any comments that you may have, or mail me, I will always reply.

I know how you feel. Sometimes all you want is a huge hug from someone you can trust. Or just a friendly smile and to be told it is going to be alright.

I am feeling as you did only in my work. I assumed I was not to bad at my job only to find people (who I thought were friends) have been talking behind my back, organising girly nights out and drinks after work, without asking or mentioning that it is happening. I am trying to keep positive and think that they dont matter but I thought I could trust them and tell them things. Not for them to then laugh about it behind my back. It is really difficult for me to come into work and keep to myself as I am really open and trust people quickly.

Anyway enough of my moaning. I am glad you have cheered up and found a way to overcome what has happened to you.

Keep smiling.

A male reader, Chemer United Kingdom +, writes (21 November 2007):

Chemer agony auntI believe what you have said is true. I hate bullying as well and it does cause you to have low self esteem and self worth.

The first thing to tell yourself is that not everyone can be mega popular or cool. Bullies generally pick on people who are loners or who have low self esteem to begin with.

I had a similar situation with my ex wife. She used to belittle me to such an extent I did not even think I could go to the bar and order a drink without getting it wrong. Luckily she left.

Although I was devastated I started small steps. Firstly going out and ordering that drink on my own and finding out I was not useless. Then I met a few Women off the net as I have Aspergers I found it difficult to meet them and start a conversation say in a club or bar. So I met them on the net and then broke the ice so to speak and moved on to Real Life.

Alway give yourself positive thoughts. Say that you can do and it and will succeed at whatever you do. If you think bad thoughts about harming yourself replace them with thoughts about something you really want to do. Say saving for that lovely Holiday or starting a new fulfilling relationship.

Talk to yourself. Sometimes your best listener is yourself. So tell yourself that you can do it and you can overcome obstacles. Don't feel alone there are places you can ring and people you can talk to.

I am happy to report that I am now in a good relationship. We shall see how it goes, but that is proof that you can achieve things if you put your mind to it.

Hugs,

Steve
