It has been so much of bad things that have happened to me since I have been living. I have been through the worst situations and outcomes. I feel as if I am surrounded by bad luck. I feel very sad at times. It is like when I plan to do something, something else gets in the way of my plans. It is like someone has tried to curse me or wish me bad luck. I feel like the things that has happened in my life, shouldn't have. I have been told that someone has placed on curse on me. It has something to do when I was younger. They placed it on my family, and I am getting the effects of it. I am very miserable and depressed. I want to be happy not sad. Why does it feel that everything in my life is just falling to pieces? Does anyone else feel this way? Please tell me that I am not alone in this.

I personally don't believe in jinx, bad luck or good luck. I think that most things yield a certain result based on decisions that we make. I think that most times we continue to do the same things and expect different results. Sometimes after a period so many bad things happening, its hard to find your way back again, because it gets really overwhelming and often hard to figure out where to start. I suggest just working on one thing at a time, figure out the exact problem and the solution to overcome it. You have to take baby steps to getting things worked out. You can't expect to fix everything at one time. But any progress is good. Hopefully you will begin to see things turn around. You deserve a good life for your and your kids.

Yes you are right about that! Thank you for the positive insight! Baby steps is the best steps to take in my situation.. I made the worst decision when I chose to stay that month in that motel. It is a day that I live to regret.. But soon, they will ge what is coming for them. God will handle them.. He can do what I can't get away with to do.

Hello cream97! I am sorry to hear your story. I didn't know you were facing it. Maybe it's only for the meantime. It would be ok in the middle of the year. All you have to do is always pray to God and thank Him for everything eventhough everything's getting worst. That's what I usually do when I am helpless and then God work in mysterious way.

I have felt like this at ties when things are not going right, but you know what I do I pray about it! If you pray about it God will answer. He might not answer right away but he is always on time. I believe that, Do you?

I never give up on God. I always communicate with him, when my heart is heavy and when there are tears in my eyes.. I ask him to please allow us to get our personal items back. I feel that if I beg the manager back for my items, then maybe they will open their hearts just a little and let us get our things. How can they do us this way? Is $200.00 really worth holding someones clothes from them? I went to Wal-mart last week and I spent almost that amount in less than 2 minutes..

Hi cream! I do feel that way a lot of times especially when things are not going the way I wish them to. At times, i felt so tired and want to give up but as always I turn to God for strength and mercy. I pray a lot especially during these times of weakness and despair. I do believe that He will never forsake us and will help us just in time. Please don't lose hope and be strong. I do believe that in every misfortune we have, there is an equivalent seed of opportunity. Just hang on and soon God will make a way for you and all of us. Take care and blessings to you my friend! lovelots..faith

I have felt this way before but I think if you think more possitively it will help. I think that negative thinking brings negative things to you.

Hi cream97....like u i too have met with lots of worse situations not once or twice but lotsa times.......I think everyone thinks tht they r the ones who r going thru a bad life whenever something bad happens to them & i was also one among them....But learn to face & accept ur situation & have a cool mind & try to sort things out once at time....There might be failures, but dont get discouraged....I believe there is always a door open for u....& dont believe in this jinx stuff & craps like other ppl cursing u & all coz if u believe all tht, then u will always expect bad things to happen to u & u will experience all tht is bad....Have a positive outlook...Think wat u can do to make ur life better & try ur level best to achieve it & even if it doesnt work out the way u expected,dont get down or dwell on it for long....u must regain & try for ur next option & i am sure something will work out for u....What anyone need is a positive outlook & be happy.....There will be things that we should be happy & grateful for having which we take for granted, for instance being able to see, hear, listen, good food, house, a family & lots more....Remember there r ppl who might not be having even this....So just concentrate & think of wat u do have & u will be grateful & realise how blessed u r.....Atleast it changed me a lot, once i started to think this way....Remember all our problems r temporary & those problems will be there only as long as u allow it to be there.....So from hereon try to find out wats good in ur life & not wats bad ok :)

Well, maybe what is Best for you to take time out for you. Do a little meditating reflecting on God and do some Praying asking God to help get you out of your situation and go from there. When you start seeking God and allow him to help you out in your situation things will improve. Yes, you have been thru a lot lately and many times it will feel as all hope is lost. But you need to find some Good things to concentrate on and realize not all hope is lost. There will be a day where you will look back knowing that it was all worth it all as well.

Oh, cream97, I am sorry you are feeling so down. Yes, I have had timeframes in my life when it felt like everything was just falling to pieces. I'm thankful for those times because I have learned from them that things always do get better eventually. When I am feeling down it is easy to see nothing but the bad things all around me. I like to remember this quote to pull me through those times: Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change! When I start looking for the good or the tiny little blessings that come from every experience, the other good things become easier to see and blessings seem to be all around. It always starts with me, I have to change the way I'm looking at things.

I would have to be you for a day to find this out.. I feel like I am the only person in the whole wide world that goes through crazy things.. Yes, we all go through trials and tribulations, but mines is odd..

Hi cream97, first of all you are not jinxed!!! just beause someone told you that your family was cursed, don't you believe this and this is whats been playing on your mine, everybody goes through bad times and whatever they plan to do its goes wron, lord knows it has happened to me many times, but you have to stop being so nagitive about yourself, when things goes wrong so what? pick yourself up and start again, sometimes when things goes wron it is not your fault so stop blaming yourself for everything. We all go through bad times so don't think you are cursed because you are not and next time you are thinking of planning, don't just do it. Love and hugs. Tamara xxxx

I understand your opinion and the main thing I would say is to accept yourself for who you are and start loving all of you (good,bad and ugly) blessings

Hey cream~I feel the same way too. I feel like bad things just keep happening to me too. I can't seem to get a break no matter what I do. I don't know why either and it keeps me feeling depressed too. I have had a very difficult life and so did my family. Nothing has ever seemed to have gone right for me and my mother blames me for everything in her life that has gone wrong and she doesn't understand what I'm going through. I feel like I am alone and my life is falling to pieces and I don't know how to fix it.

Yes, the pain never stops! I try my best to avoid many bad circumstances, but I seem to get involved with them. I do know what I can do to not allow things to be so tight on my end.. I am very sorry that you are going through sadness, I do hope that it gets much better for you. I will pray for you, with all the love that you can know! Please trust God, he will work it out for you!

I always thought I was cursed or something because everytime I thought I had my life under control, something would come along and knock me off track again. Over the years I have learned from the lessons that life has thrown at me. If things do not go right in the direction I was going, turn the corner and look around. There has always been something there that is right, maybe not the first thing I encounter, but I keep looking and it will be there, one small thing at a time. In my case, everytime I would look to get a job, or go back to school to better myself, a congenital defect in my vision would flare up again. I felt like I was always being knocked down. I have learned to live with this and have found many things I can do, even if the old curse flares up when I reallu get enjoying whatever I am doing. Attittude and my faith in God has diversified my life many times over and happiness is found wherever I can find it.

I know exactly how you feel. My mother had a similar problem when she was young (everything in her life went wrong and she was told she had been cursed). But she managed to overcome it with lots of prayer and faith. Because of the curse she couldn't get married and it took her seven years to break the curse. But she did in the end and her life changed for the better.

hi, It's seems that you are writing about my life. I am facing the same problems. Nothing is going right in my life. I am feeling depressed. I found myself to be incompetent. Life seems to be a long journey with so many obstacles. I want to be happy but the surroundings again and again make me unhappy. Please be complacent. We have to face life as it comes. Belive me, the cloud of darkness is going to fade and there would be sparkling rays of sunlight to be seen soon.

You are not jinxed, and don't think that you are miserable and have been cursed or wish you bad luck, me i don't believe in that, i believe that if you do bad things to others bad things will also happen to you that's a "karma" not a curse, curses don't exists. When someone curse you it doesn't mean that curse will happen, As far as i know "if the root is evil, the fruits will suffer and the roots will see the outcome of what they have done" To put it simply your parents are the roots and you are the fruits but let me set things clear i'm not saying that your parents are bad, maybe they have made a very bad mistake that's why the karma feedback on you.
