I try so hard to face each day ready to find an optimistic response to whatever comes my way. Some days it keeps coming and I feel like I am in 4th grade again being bombarded with balls in dodgeball. I was not quick on my feet and an easy target. I have come a long way since then, but life has been throwing me a lot lately. Anyone feel like this? No, I won't give up, give in or stop fighting to survive but I am getting worn out.

That's good, don't give up. Always remember that God will not give us burden we can't carry. So hold on there and never lose faith. We have our own fair shares of ups and downs. Everyone of us has something to go through. I myself, experience at one time I want give up but I hold on the God's hand and trust Him. Always remember that no problem is bigger than God and that with every problem, this too shall pass.

Prayer is great in times of stress. I used to smoke too much when stressed then I switched to eating too much and now when stress builds I try to exercise..dance in place...it helps!!

NuttyMomma, I feel for you. I know exactly how you feel and I have gone through it several times in life. The best thing to do is hang in there the best you can. I am glad you have a place like this to vent and to make some money from. Every little bit helps. In my life I am so very Blessed. I do have to remind myself of this every day. I could be much worse off than I am. You just have to remember to be thankful for what you have and keep plugging away at life.

Don't worry, you're not the only one experiencing that situation nowadays. There are lots of people same with your problem. But don't give up. Don't panic. Just keep on praying and with the guidance of the Lord, you can handle it. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Prayer does help. I appreciate all the support from mylotters! I was, like a lot of us, having a moment. I always land on my feet. I feel tossed around a lot but it works itself out.

I know what you are feeling right now, it is true that being without work and having lots of debts and bills coming makes you feel stressed, However life is ups and downs and I am sure that things change and it will be better, never give up.

I feel just like you sometimes. I have alot of debt to catch up with. I have been out of work for almost a year. Then I got a job a few days ago, but my back is very bad and I cant stand on my feet for the 10 hours of a day that the job calls for. So I cant do that now. So I am back to having no job, a bad back, bills and I am getting a headache just talking about it. So I just do these online sites to make some money while I hope for a better day!
