Even if you feel dead inside (useless, no purpose, no light at
   the end of the tunnel, hopeless) - you're still alive. And where
   there's life, there's hope. You're alive enough to say how dead
   you feel inside -- but someone who is dead inside and out can't
   say they feel dead inside and out. It still puts you in a better
   place - even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. If nothing
   else, y'all are entertaining, talking, etc. Not sure how to lift
   someone out of the blues - I find -distraction- is usually the
   key to happiness and having a 'feeling alive' feeling. "
