Life is full of ups and downs and life tests each one of us to the highest limits. Recently I am being tested to a limit above my limits. I just dont know how will this end or where will this end. Over the past 20 days or so, I have been facing the worst of luck and the most unfavourable conditions in life. Whatever I do fails in no time at all. I just dont know what to do and how to console myself. The condition got so worst that I even started crying the afternoon today, I feel so helpless that I can't even think of what to do and what not to do.... Hope all this ends soon...........

I do know this feeling quite well, they say when it rains it pours and my camp has been flooded lately. I try to pray and have faith, we can only try our best and pray for outcomes. Nothing I say will be of comfort but do know that you are not alone and we must have faith. Good luck to you, I hope things get better soon.

Start the day with gratitude for each and every small thing. Then notice more and more small things to be thankful for. This really works because you are training your mind on what is important, this gives it less and less time to tune into the bad things. This will work for you, try it what have you got to loose? Will bad things still happen of course they will they happen to all of us, but you will be focused on the good things and pretty soon you will not even notice the bad it will just be a bump in the road not a major accident.

this will sound harsh but,stop dwelling on what's going wrong in your life,the more you dwell the unhappier you will be,think of the positive things coz if you don't bad things will just keep happening,,if i feel down and everything seems to be going wrong i just think to myself,there are people worse off than myself in the world so get a grip,,it works

Everything happens with a reason. Sometimes we feel that we are so unfortunate having simultaneous bad luck or being disorganized (whatever you call it) It is just a matter of facing reality in life. Fortunes comes in tons,as well as with misfortunes too. We will be laughing now,then crying all of the sudden. Facing difficulties in life make us stronger and even a better person more then we ever knew. In times of troubles,we will be able to know much more of our capacity and ability to fight life and learned more lesson to guide us for a better life ahead. Keep smiling,the sun never stops shining. It might be too cloudy but behind those clouds the sun still shines. have a good day always

First off, I am very sorry to hear that you have been struggling that long. I have been in a situation for about a year where financially and emotionally the world has come down on me as well. I hear that college is supposed to be one of the hardest and most fun parts of your life, but they never warn you about financial mistakes. Every day, it seems like something else I have breaks, or I have a bill due, or I'm running out of certain foods. Every time it gets better, something exponentially worse happens. But for each day that I'm either doing well or suffering, I always set something to look forward to. Whether it is 5 days, or 5 years from now, I am always thinking about how good things will be soon. Just keep telling yourself that things can't get any worse, and that every minute you spend focusing on the suffering, you are missing out on something good. Just enjoy everything you can, and share your experiences with others. Just writing on here is helping me get through days where I feel like I should just give up, and hopefully its doing the same for you.

Yeah I agree life is full of ups and downs but in every downfall we should stand up and begin again and pick up lesson from our mistake. Every day I learn, and my only problem that I visionalized is procastination. Whenever I have done wrong , I feel regret and I lose my mind and I cry. But after crying, there is something i realize and I am gone with my feet and begin again. I just need to cry and think it over for a couple of hours before beginning again. I just need to realize something and think about what had happened. Moreover, I really hope what you are feeling will be over so you can come back with your normal state.

You know, when things just can't get any worse the only way to go is UP! Keep telling yourself that! Also, no matter what your circumstances or how bad things are--somewhere in the world there is someone that is worse off then you are. Sometimes this used to comfort me. That was before I started looking at bad luck and disasters as opportunities. There is always something good to come out of them, although you might have to look closely to find it! I always tell myself that God never gives me anything too big for He and I to handle together. I hope everything gets back to normal for you soon! Think positive--KNOW that you can overcome these things and succeed and keep telling yourself that. It WILL make a difference!

ashishp2c I have been there too but look once down know what the only way left is up, cheerup and look at the sun shining and think okay I am in some tight spots so God I am knowing you help me when I help myself so I am going to think positively. a year and a half ago. i was just another middle class senior lady living with my son and happy but fate and a turn inour US economy dumped my life on its head, my son lost his job, and now there were no jobs out there, we used up our savings, got behind on the rent and were evicted almost as if he had madeout the papers the day my son got laid off. we were and are for now homeless but I through my son and a kind man from adult protective services got me a place to s tay so I would not be on the street, my social security and SSi checks go to pay r oom a nd board here at this retirement center a nd my son got help from homes America to get put in a two bedroom apt with two other men. he now has a job so things are looking up for us. So they will also turn around for you. believe in being postive so you will attract only good events in your life. the rule of attraction woks when you think optimistically.Look up and see the sun,the clouds, the flowers along the streets in your neighborhood. sure you have it tough but you will survive and become better for facing and demolishing your challenges. look up and smile.

I’ve had periods like throughout my life and they do pass although it can feel quite hopeless going through it! Whenever things go wrong for me these days I constantly remind myself that I will get through it and take it one day at a time. The important thing to remember is not to allow your mindset become too negative because I am inclined to believe that you will draw more bad stuff to yourself. It is difficult I know but remember that the good times will return eventually…

all things come to an end. that is the good news. you are not alone with life's hard strokes. and that should console you. God is good. he will give you strength and peace of mind. but you have to ask him that.

Hi, I am really sorry to hear your situation. Even I was going through such situation in recent times. However, I believed in God and one verse from the Bible comforted me. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. It gave me strength and I started working hard and now I am getting fruits out of it. Pray to God and He will surely help you out of this situation.

Actually God is testing you. Remember after bad days good days also comes. So just go on and try to find the correct way of your life. Never give up because God is testing you, your strength, your mind etc. Not only that but if you will pass in the test God will reward you something and will also return yours happy life and luck both. Make yourself so hard and tough that you can even fight in such a worst situation. Don't cry. Listen music and keep yours mind cool. Do Yoga at early morning this will also help you in feeling good. Moreover trust on you and your luck. Just think as if someone is with you and wants help to you. Just think that everytime you will fall there will be someone who will help you in continuing. Just continue yours life and keep believe in yourself. If you cannot help yourself then no one can help you. God helps only to them who help themselves. Learn from whatever happening with you. May be you have done some mistake and you are suffering for it. But onced mistake done, it cannot be undone. But you can learn from mistake and can try to correct it as much as possible. Try to survive in yours current condition and learn what God wanted to teach you from this situation. Never give up. The God is with you. God bless you.

As hard as it may be right now you have to try to think positive. I know this sounds crazy when you are going through hard times. I have been going through some of the most difficult times of my life over the past nine months and I have all but given up several times. I have lost all hope and felt all alone. But every day is a new day and with it comes new hope. If you believe in GOD PRAY, PRAY and PRAY some more. If you have a good friend you can trust, talk to them and let them know how you feel. Take time to go out on the town for a night even if you don't feel up to it or have a group of friends over just to hang out. Just remember this life on earth is temporary and so is the pain that comes with it.

In recent years, I experienced the same thing with you. There are so many problems, and failures I faced. I am very desperate and almost gave up. But I was very lucky, are still given the strength to face all. I tried to think positively and take heed of all the problems I faced. Although not all resolved, but I expect to receive and enjoy life.

I think this is a way of life. Because sometime we feel happy and sometime we feel sorrow. And as you say this time is everything is going wrong with you. So I want to say now your bad time started and I hope soon this time end your good time will started soon. So always is patience. And now you may face everything with patience. And one day your good times must come.

Hi, sorry to hear your situation, I know how it must feels like thinking or seeing that everything is going wrong. But no matter what, you must stand up. If you don't stand up today, the problem will become bigger tomorrow. No matter what the problem is, we must keep living and make a move. You sound very depressed but don't be, start by recognizing your problem and what or who is causing it. I don't think you will like to have more problem in a few days from now, do you? So cheer up and be strong!

Life is a cycle. U may be going through a bad patch now but it does not mean it lasts forever. If u are able to get by these past 20days, u will have an easy time after u gone through this rough patch. Luck is only temporarily. If u believe in yourself and willing to work harder, things will eventually work in your favor. I'm not asking u to accept your way of life, but to let u know about other alternatives in life. Nobody can be lucky always. Just as when we are in luck, we are also losing something in return just that we are blinded by the unbelievable amount of good luck that we don't see the bad side of it.
