For The Next Time You Feel That Your World Is Falling Apart

Something that's making you feel like you do not deserve to live, does not deserve to live.

For The Next Time You Feel That Your World Is Falling Apart

In This Article:

A lot of times, we get into situations where getting out of it or fighting back seems impossible. Does that mean it's the end? Of course not! If you ever feel like taking your life for something that does not let you live, follow these tips.

Think about why you are in this situation

Consider the possible reasons behind your thinking this way. What is causing you to take such a decision? Is there any way to rectify it? It's all about finding a solution and there always is, if you look enough.

Talk to people who love you

If that still does not make you feel better, talk to someone who you know truly cares for you and will give you good advice. After all, talking makes a lot of things better.

Listen to some motivational songs

Music has the ability to control our emotions. Listen to some songs that motivate you the most...that tell you not to give up yet.

Think about the ill consequences after the action you plan on taking

What do you think can happen to your family or people who care for you? Won't their lives be disturbed? Will they ever be able to forgive themselves for not being good enough to be a reason for you to live? Think about it, round and again.

Stay away from people who provide extra stress in life

If you think some people mess with your mental or emotional stability, try erasing them out of your life. Don't hang out with them. Don't listen to them. Just ignore their mere existence. Go out and find people who make you feel good about yourself. You deserve that!

Remember those times when you've been at your best

Thinking about times when you had achieved something, had been praised for something or had maybe just felt confident about something, can boost your will power a great amount. That is needed a lot to keep going.

Remember the happy moments

Flickr

Reminisce some great times you've spent with your family, friends or by yourself. You can have more of them only if you can manage to not let go.

Try creating few back-up plans

If the case is such that there's a possibility for you to not accomplish something you have tried hard for, try finding some other plans where you can accomplish easily. Not having any back-up plans is unrealistic. Have multiple back-up plans. You will definitely end up somewhere good.

Think about your bucket list

Flickr

Think about all the things you've ever wanted to try! Maybe getting on a gondola at Venice or kissing on the Eiffel Tower at Paris or Climbing the Everest, the list can be endless but you can only live them if you live. So, don't quit.

Keep on working harder

Finally, keep working hard. You never lose if you work hard enough. Don't give up. Have some faith.


They say everything happens for a reason. It is true. Don't lose hope, ever. There are so many doors to your future, you have to choose one. There's always a way to find a better one if one does not work out for you. Only remember, you are precious and you can do it!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
