I want to Scream. It really keeps on feeling like when it Rains it pours, and I am ready for life to get normal again. For some reason my life just does not want to let it go back to a normalcy so I can enjoy life without stress. Now it is Financial issues left and right and I am getting no where. And a month ago it was dealing with my Mom dying. Sometimes I just want to curl up in a Ball and disappear. Has anyone else been there, and how did you cope? Sometimes I wonder how I can handle anything else right now. I guess I just continue to believe God is in control and everything is going to be alright.

Hi, neighbor! I have been there... and sometimes think I'll never be truly away from it. I was with my Pop for 2 years, working to get his affairs in order, and then lived with him full-time for his last 3 months. He was precious and dear to me, and watching him go was the hardest thing I've ever done. I've gotten to where I expect financial problems at this time of year, and I'm never disappointed!LOL! Also in Spring, when there are so many things I want to do! I tried curling up in that little ball, I tried to disappear permanently... and trouble found me, anyway. What I'm doing now is standing up with my hands on my hips and telling life to 'BRING IT!' All of these problems are much smaller than they want to be, and I'm gonna beat them one at a time... they won't beat me!

Dear, God is looking at you!Be happy,whether the sun is rising or down! A year ago,father left my mother,my sister and me.I cried all day,because he is my origin...I asked God why he took my father to the paradice.He didn't answer me!Maybe,life needs no reasons.The thing comes when it should be.So,forget the stress!The sun is still shinning in the sky,and God still looks after you! Give yourself a smile!Then all the stress will go away! Love your life!Be happy!

Laugh a loud .And sing some songs aloud..(some kind of praise and worship songs) We can do nothing but God only can do .... Some time I also shout to God for that... these kind of trouble.These day my father also need to transparent his kidney,,, and we also have financial difficulty... We have to change money with our house.And our Guest house..... I want to cry aloud but my tear can't come down... I pray to God "Why me" .But God answer through my best friend " All people around the world encounter these kinds of trouble, You are not alone" She encourage me to praise God in every condition.. I realize God grace for giving me such kind of friend...Thank Lord I praise.. (Now my father is going abroad to do transparent his kidney.)Don't worry ...Your heart will hurt... Give your case all into OUR LORD I will pray for you

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. That is so difficult! I know this is a difficult time and it just seems like things keep piling up. Remember that this too shall pass and that God is in control. Make yourself a short list each day of 3 or 4 things you want to accomplish...whether its make a nice dinner, do the dishes or what have you. Cross each item off as you do it and see that things are getting done. Some things we have no control over and others we do. Change what you can control and let God do the rest. Take a walk in the brisk fall air during the warmer part of the day and just thank God that you are able to be outside. Make it a point to find things to be thankful for each day and continue on. It is so easy to curl up into a ball and disappear but then it takes longer to heal and nothing gets done and we become more and more depressed. Hang in there and allow yourself time to heal. Ignore the phone if its a bill collector for a few days until you can figure out finances. You are not alone. Stress happens to everyone at one time or another!

Believe in your faith.......... - Believe in your faith....
Oh Sweety, thats all you can do, is hang in there, have faith, say your prayers, hand your problems over to God. Things will get better, things do have a ways of working out. Our God does love us and will look out for us, all we have to do is ask and believe. Good luck and take care.

I don't know if this will help but God dosen't give us more than we can handle. The problem is I don't always let him be in control.

Yes, I will affirm with you that God is still in control and everything is going to be alright. I will refer you to one of my favorite verses, Romans 8:38-39. I will also say that I have been there, done that, and am still doing that, one day at a time. I do not have the health issues you have, but I am at two jobs, to help with those ever present financial issues, and I cannot even get online and earn to get rid of one of the jobs, I am so tired. But God is in control, and we just go one day at a time. There is no such thing as normal. If you were up in the middle of the night,you need to try to rest, as the lack of sleep will make everything worse. I still miss my mom, and always will, it does not change. I look for memories to hold onto, and life lessons learned.It helps. I guess I just want you to know that your friends hear you, and care for you. Have a better day.

I find that no matter how hard things are, it will always get better. I know all about the financial crunch, I'm going through one right now. I can't sleep some nights because I worry so much about how I'm going to pay bills. I hate living like this, and I know how you feel. I find I feel better if I just talk to my husband or a good friend about how I'm feeling. If God is what you find comfort in, that's great. You just have to know that there are people who are having a worse time than you are. Maybe it would help your heart if you went and volunteered at a hospital or old folks home, and made other people happy.

Sorry you are going through a lot. But know God is growing you during this time. Have faith and put it all at his cross and he will take care of it all for you because his word says so. I've learned that it is much easier to do it this way, because worrying and stressing out over different situations doesn't seem to get me anywhere fast. Only when I trust in God do things seem to turn out. Since He has ultimate control over everything, it's just the simpliest approach, but I know sometimes it is easier said than done. May God Bless You Abundantly.

Rather than god i like to believe i'm in control. God helps the ones that help themselves. Keep on fighting!
