I am just going to shut my mouth and not say another word. I sincerely hope that greatly pleases more than one of you. Good luck to all.

Craig,
I have only read a few of your comments here and I resisted giving my 2 cents, but here I go anyway.
Everyone's life sucks in some way - everyone has different types and levels of suck in their lives but obviously you are a survivor!
Part of being a survivor is reaching out and taking a lifeline if one is available.
You NEED to go to see a counselor. Just go and do it.
I am 49 years old and waited until I was at rock bottom to go to a counselor about 6 weeks ago. I have been to 5 sessions and its the best time I have invested in myself period. Just the act of getting to the first appointment and talking at all will make you feel 20% better and you will want to keep going to keep learning.
I would encourage you to seek a counselor that uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. This is practical stuff not physco-babble - it will help you.
If you don't go to CBT you don't want help and you just want attention. You know that you NEED to get help you have likely known it for many years. If you have tried therapy before you need to keep trying until you find some one that can help you in practical ways.
Wish you the best.
Hi Craig... You have gifts and talents to share with the world. So your voice matters and needs to be heard. While I haven't had a chance to read all of your posts, the ones I have read have added value to the WA community.
I came here knowing that I may not find the sweet spot in a perfect niche on my first or second try. Businesses evolve as we learn and grow and as the needs we serve change. That said, I am prepared to persevere and to learn all I can around here until I succeed at finding that great niche. :)
All the best to you!

Just remember that not saying anything sometime is not the right decision, is better say what we think and not keep it to ourselves.
Good luck.
I can only say that you are right. Choosing to do nothing IS actually doing something that might not do you any good. How true. I've kept 70+ years of unrelenting and inhuman rage, depression, sadness, pain, and loneliness inside. Enough to waste so many more than only a single human-being.
Craig
Some of us were NOT meant to come into this world/life. That is what my 70+ years of trying to survive on this rock has taught me. Guess my parents were right, after all. \
Craig
I hope you're feeling better. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. (Although I don't know you, I just thought I could offer a hand.)
I definitely will. I'm not gonna pry since you don't want help; I can't help if you don't want it.
Vent as much as you can friend; there's someone who will listen. Either way, yelling it out there to the world is definitely better than keeping it in.
The only thing I can say to you is even if we are virtual that is ok but, God is not have your faith in Him and all will be well
Regards.
Charles
Dear Charles,
Life or my life has not lead me to the same conclusion, but thanks for sharing. Literally nowhere I've looked has offered me any lasting peace from the sickness, hatred, madness and violence of and in this world.
Craig
That is why you have to put your a Faith in God not humans and certainly not what this world brings all you need is Faith and trust in The most high God things will fall in their places if you can be able to do that
Regards
Charles
You have such a bright intelligence
Keep enlightening us
It is a unique gift
Even if you are not aware of it...
Dear Maria,
It is comforting to know that at least you and some other members have found value in reading some of my thoughts and feelings. My biggest problem is that all I have here at WA are ONLINE or virtual relationships. Out there, in the real world, I feel my guts come up and like I am suffocating inside every day - ESPECIALLY
Dear Maria,
It is comforting to know that at least you and some other members have found value in reading some of my thoughts and feelings. My biggest problem is that all I have here at WA are ONLINE or virtual relationships. Out there, in the real world, I feel my guts come up and like I am suffocating inside every day - ESPECIALLY on the weekends!! Just a ghost or shell of a being, seeing and feeling everything and everybody passing right through him.
Craig
Yes... you are too alone
Please keep talking to us, we are real people
And many of us Will want to help
You have helped by just asking if you could. I really don't know what to say except (maybe) two things. First, I am so spent or beyond the point of exhaustion, in every way, that I truly feel like a zombie or dead man walking.
Second, in over two years I have NOT earned a single dime or dollar here at WA or AM (Affiliate Marketing). I am nowhere near even beginning to break-even financially and that is maddening to me. It eats away at me constantly, and I don't know how to stop it.
Ah, what the hell. Here's a third and probably the most important reason. I don't seem to know a F_&_&_*& thing about relating to people. No mystery, really, when I can barely stand being trapped in my mind and body any longer.
Craig
Craig, I can feel you truly hurting and lonely in all of this! You need to talk and relate to some people who care about you more than anything else!
Look at your answers, at your friends, answers from strangers like me! I care, I am where you are! I understand your lonliness and pain!
Take the time to make a new friend, and get to know me? Please?
Janice
Craig,
Who did what to you and over what might I ask - if you prefer
not to do this in public send me a PM - if there is a way I
can help I will.
Susan
Dear Susan,
Your offer was kind, but I have to decline. ALL my relationships with other members here are literally "virtual." That's not where I or you really live, is it? In the real or outside world, I wander like a lost and starving madman or mad dog. The pain, loneliness and hunger just won't leave me alone, and I am sorry to still be alive.
Craig
Craig,
I hear you because I live alone with my dogs (3) of them, but
even though you are here in a "virtual" world talking you are
still talking to real human beings not robots or a computer!
I have feelings and get very lonely but with WA it eases these
feelings when I can jump on the computer and communicate
with other human beings.
I lost my husband of 30 years just last year he has only been
gone a year but it seems like yesterday he left the world at a
very young age only 56, so lonely is something I am so used
to in a way after a year of living alone that has never happened
before in my life.
But to be sorry to be alive this world has way to much to offer
so many places to go and see - join community places in your
area get out meet people if this is what you are longing for
churches are a great place to meet people - I am an introvert
so I spend all my time at home!
I do hope you find peace in looking around to see where you
can find the companionship you are longing for.
Best wishes,
Susan
this is so sad why would any one want you to shut your mouth if you don't mind me asking?
Simply because I have a nasty habit of offending delicate minds and tastes. Just look at the day and age we live in. May the truth and facts be damned!!
Craig
not knowing what you have been through i will say this i welcome honesty and if delicate minds cant whats honest then that's on them it still is called freedom of Speech last i knew so speak up and be heard.

Hi, Craig bad day at the office, it does not matter what or how we get to the point that we are at, what matters is what we do about it.
We all have those days where we dig that hole and end up breaking the shovel handle at the bottom or worse still we forget to take our ladder with us.
My suggestion would be to keep batting in the game there is only one way to go and that is up.
There are so many folks that are struggling to make it online, the only way to catch fish is to keep your line in the water.
From observing your posts you have a unique outlook and have experienced a lot in your lifetime, that is worthwhile sharing.
We are all in the same boat just muddling along trying to do our best for ourselves and the others we come into contact with.
I would say keep writing keep engaging look for that joy in your life and share that joy, that is the key to success in any endeavor.
Take care and if you need some help or advice on the online front just reach out. William has some excellent advice and from reading his comment it is experience speaking. Folks do care here inside of WA, it may seem virtual contact but we are all around the world so it is a little hard to stroll down the street, having said that some folks you meet on the platform, become like friends in the real world and definitely the kind that you would meet up with should the opportunity arise.
Alex.
