I swear no matter what I do or how hard I try I feel like I am going in circles, don't seem as if anything is working you know? I feel as if I dream for other people anything that I dream about or want I see it come true for others and yet i am getting the set backs, some people can wake up and go do what they have to do with no interruptions as for me I feel that I am interupted at all time I just don't get it it feels like this is a bad cloud over me that will not get away, i feel like just throwing in the towel sometime and say forget it, I give up, I Don't know I am just goeing through it I guess.

Hi there. Hang in there. Do you believe in God? If you do, pray. Ask for help. He is willing to help you out of whatever you're going through. If you can and want to, buy the book The Upside of Adversity by Os Hillman. It helps one understand and appreciate hardship. Blessings!

His unchanging hand -- Indeed. I like how you put it.. How about seeking His face? He didn't promise that we'd be free of trouble; in fact, He promised the PRESENCE of trouble in our lives. But when you cling to Him, sooner or later, these moments pass. Hang in there, God will see you through.

Thank you for your response I really do appreciate it, and yes i do believe in God and i talk to him but sometime it feels like he don't hear me. maybe I'm not doing something right, or maqybe I just need to hold on to his unchanging hand. Thanks again.

Sounds like you're suffering from depression my friend. Everyone goes through it, but don't let it overtake you. Sometimes that's real easy to do without even trying. try not to get discouraged so easy and say you "can't" without giving yourself a chance. You never know what you're capable of, you might surprise yourself you know. I speak from experence. I have a lot going against me. A lot of reasons and excuses to say "I can't", but if I kept up that aditude I wouldn't be where I am today. I would never have held a job for six years, I would never be in my own apartment responsible for bills, or have someone whom I love and care about deeply. I'd be home in my parents' house, fighting and struggeling like I've done many times before. i might not be alive... or if I was... I'd be a shell of a person hold up in my room with no freedom what so ever. But, here I am, in an apartment. The only thing that's different is that I'm unemployeed. But, so are many Americains. I can't use my disabilities as an excuse because my state depends on tourism for jobs. And, with the space program ending and very little to offer, our state doesn't have jobs to offer. Our unemployment rates will condinue to drop until something happens. But, that's not to say I haven't tried. I have. And, I'm doing odd jobs online to make up my losses. But, at least I'm doing something instead of saying 'that's it... i've had it"

Relax. Seems like you've been trying too hard. Take a look at things carefully, you might be doing something wrong in the middle because you might be in a hurry. Don't be in a rash, don't be too hasty. All things will come into place if you just take it slow and take it at a time. Never compare yourself to others. They are different and you are different too. What might work for them may not work for you. God bless!

You need to start somewhere to get out of this funk. Start simply. Make a single goal to achieve in one day. Make a simple one to start. You are seeing just the problems not the successes. You may have some depression, and a doctor could help you with that. Start to change your world by changing the way view it. Start with simple tasks and complete them. But you need to keep seeing the positive.

There are certain times in a human's life where he just has to face difficulties and no matter what he tries becomes a burden for him.Let this time pass and surely you will feel better at the end of the day!

I have been there and recently i came across something interesting which helped me be more positive about things. The main thing is to be positive or have positive thought. Do you know about the law of attraction? Well if you do not know then let me explain in short. it simply means you attract more of what you think about or feel. You are feeling depressed at the moment and the more you feel it and talk about the more you attract such things into your life. The easiest way to understand this is to watch the movie called the secrete. Im sure you will not regret this and will help you achieve your goals. Seriously though its a movie its more like a an interview or a program where philosophers and other people explain to you about this wonderful concept. try it. If you cant get the movie you still can read the book from which they made the movie in the first place. Cheer up and i hope you try this because it will help you.

LOL i responded to the wrong person when i started talking about the secret but yes i have seen that movie and that movie is the bomb, I think positive alot and it seems as if negative still happends it feel that I'm under attack sometime I fee; defeated, but I will look at the secret again and stay positive and keep my mind focus on my goals of what I want, thanks again for that. I also will start on my vision board maybe that will help to give me some direction on where I need to be or go you know.. Thanks.
