Complicated year------ year that you find the hardest,most difficult year in your life, financially, emotionally, physically and even spiritually involvement. There were years we find its difficult for us to pass through,we experienced hardships,disappointments,sickness,love failures , financially broke and even health problems. In my part I found 2010 is the most complicated year for me, busy year, even emotionally down and experienced health problem.And aside from those three I find all is well though. But as for now its getting better and I'm getting through to it..And it gives me a lot of knowledge to overcome hard times and all. How about you my fellow myLotters, what's the most complicated year you have been through? You may want to share with us and how how did you overcome it? Have a blessed day everyone!!

Hi cloud31, sorry that you are having a bad year, hope everything will sort out somehow for you very soon. My most complicated year so far was 2006 and 2008. A lot of different things disappointing me and some people that I love so much were letting me down at some point when I needed them so bad even just to listen. As for 2008, I had to go through to a 6 months medication because of stomach problem. And I still have to work full time for 12 hours everyday plus, I was living alone, my family was far away, and I had to go through such life alone. But it was really nice that all my friends and family kept in touch with me and asked me if everything was always ok.

i can say that this year 2010 is also one of the most complicated year for me and my family. financially, i am broke with a lot of problems coming to face. i can't explain everything but the number one problem that is bugging the family now is how could we overcome the health problem we have with our little angel. we had just visited a pulmonologist who confirmed that there is no problem with his lungs and tuberculosis is not a worry now. but she is convinced that Zayzay is a case of sleep apnea. as soon as we get enough money for the doctors consultation fee, we will be seeing an ENT doctor to see him. this is the recommendation of the pulmo-pedia today. we need to see this ENT to see if he has other means to make the tonsils shrink or something. or he will recommend an operation, as the pulmo-pedia have said. sleep study is out of the question now. as the pulmo-pedia have also mentioned, we don't have to wait for it. if she is only to decide, she will really go for the removal of the tonsils. but this will be the worst problem we should find solution if ever, to have the money for the operation.

Seems most of us have the same situation in 2009, I've been beaten heavily in my career, my boss doesn't like me ,so he treat me very bad, I hate him in my all life. My health is affected relatively, then I'm surprised that I'm alive. :) ! So cherish our health and life these days. they say that" after hardship, sweet will come", I think we should thank the god for providing us the happier life than before, and live with a grateful heart. We'll have double happiness I think! Come on ,guys! Let's move on together! lol...

2009 was a difficult year for us. I had a miscarriage on the first month of the year caused by work related stress. Because of that, I didn't have the enthusiasm to go back to work. I blamed my previous work for having my miscarriage. So, there is no reason for me to go back so I resigned. I was jobless for 7 months. It was difficult to find a job specially if your previous work is not related to your field of study. Since, I didn't find any employment to where we were currently living, we moved to the big city. So my family relocated from the place I grew up to the place I hardly imagine I will live. Currently, we are doing well right now and are more positive towards the future.

I lost my daughter in a road accident in 2001. Enemies of my elder son was raided with firing and God protected him from that loss. But that was very dangerous and disturbing event happened in the same year. Year had gone. But I could not forget it. It was a tough year in my life. Hard and soft time come and go. Time is coming and time is going. It is giving and it is also taking. Time is flowing like a mountain ravine, and water of a ravine does not flow in its past way.

Hi cloud, how have you been ? hope all fine with you...I am sorry to read that this year has not been good for you . i am sure things are bound to improve and when you look back you realise that you have become a stronger person .. The worst ever and most complicated year for me was 2008 -2009.I thought it would never end..Now I feel that it was bad but even if it comes again I would handle it with much more practicality....But life isnt like that , it is never the same from one day to the other...

Without doubt, 1998 was the worst year in my life. I was battered financially, emotionally, and yes even spiritually. Financially, the friend on whom I believed so much, cheated me such a big amount, that I had to take a Big Big loan which I am still in the process of clearing!!!!! Talk of cheating, this takes the cake. Emotionally, the year was a absolute disaster. The cheating left me penniless, and to rub salt to the wounds, no one helped me. Even my family members took only half steps, which was more of a eyewash. I had to sell my entire earnings, took such a massive loan, but no one was there to lend their shoulders on. Spiritually took a massive beating because of this problems. In fact, so stressed was I, that I was hospitalised for more than 3 days!!! People say, forget bad things. But, I say, do not forget these things, for these things remind you who are your real well wishers. Conclusion, your only real well wisher, is you. You need to be strong. Otherwise, no one will ever come to your help.

I'd have to say that 2009 was my hardest year, but this year is close to being hard too. But at least now I have a job, but it's not steady. But still a job is a job. My husband got fired in 2009 and I went from being alone all the time to having him around 24/7. Which was difficult to deal with, now I'm worried we won't have healthcare soon. But it's been kind of nice having him around all the time now. He's trying to learn how to cook, if I need to go somewhere I don't have to take the bus. He takes me with him. I've started going to church now and I believe things will work out I just hope it happens soon.

By far and away this year has been the most complicated year that I've faced since I've been an adult. We are not only dealing with the credit card debt that we'd accured last year and prior (debt management plan), my husband has also had a lot of problems due to having kidney stones and has been through two different surgeries, this has been difficult both emotionally and financially. I hope that we never have to deal with a year like this again in our lives.

The most complicated year for me was back when I was starting college! With only twenty pesos in going to school with tons of projects to do and pay for. I had a hard time catching up with the bills./ MY moms problematic because she doesn't have money to pay for the debts and my sister's cutting classes with my brother not going home as expected.It was just a very chaotic year for all of us. Good thing we were able to pass that. Were not living an extravagant life but we can live day by day without worrying to much about the bills. My siblings have matured that we don't have to check on them every time. T

Hi Cloud! It is bad that you had a tough time in the current year. Hopefully, it will get better very soon. Ups and downs are part of our lives and we need to face the same. I do not like to remember those years, which were problematic for me or troublesome, I try to remember only those days/months/years, which were fruitful to me.

That's tough to narrow it down! My college years were bad, I was the only one working and going to school full time living out of a food pantry.

I have to agree, this has been the most difficult year. With the turn down in economy, being in debt, in a lot of pain from my arthritis, losing my business last year, owing alot of my friends money. It seems like I am in a maze with a blocked way at every turn. I am blocked by pain and lack of money. I try not to complain to my family as I have always been the one they all turn to for help and guidance. But I am getting old and tired and need someone to worry about me..But that wont happen so I am like you I am optimistic and upbeat at all times and that makes people think I dont have any problems. It spares them.So when I say I ahve a pproblem they tend to toss it off. BUt I feel the only way to conquer anything is to keep a smile and A positive outlook and keep working to make things better Complaining doesnt change anything. good luck to you all with the rest of this "bad year'.

2003 would be the hardest year for me so far. It was the year my family fell apart, my parents git separated, the shipping industry is down my father can't get a contract being a seaman, I stopped going to college and I was robbed twice(May and December) I'm glad I'm somehow overcome it all but sometimes it still haunts me and affects me from time to time. I'm just glad I met my present girlfriend and she brought back the love and the hope I lost since 2003

I have had several complicated and difficult years in my life, however this year 2010 has been by far the toughest. Everything unimaginable that could go wrong has to the point that I think I am at total destruction. Ever since the first week in January of this year I have had bad news after bad news after bad news and it feels like there is no end. I have always been a strong woman but this year I have begun to question myself, it frightens me to feel this way but the current issues I am facing are like no other. I am anxiously awaiting to be done with this year as I feel that perhaps better things are waiting.

Well, I cannot tell that I have been through difficult years. I have been through difficult moments but a whole years it has not been and I am glad because there are people that has been through a lot of awful stuff and it just reflected on them. Life is full of awful things and I think we should try to find the good things and to make situation like that that we won't feel the bad and complicated things and that's how you won't feel the complicated year.
