Through all the hard stuff have some good times

November 17, 2011 6:41pm CST
Some of us in order to keep our own sanity need to enjoy life more then staying in sadness so much. We move to other activities and stay busy since the other stuff is just too hard any more now. We want to remain as healthy for the rest of our days here still too. Like work outs, art projects, music, whatever you just can't stay in sadness and grief even anger so too long a period of time. This is unhealthy mentally and physically both for all people not just some people. Many out of pride or just or other nasty emotions will keep or harbor old very nasty grudges for very long periods of time against others too. If you around this sort of person try to get away or keep them as satisfied as possible or happy if you can they are very extremely needy people and need so much support and kindness understanding it's almost a huge amount really. Then you must have healing times for your self as well too from all of this. Therapy or tools of therapy are always a good and advised thing too. Thanks,A.B.

There is plenty to enjoy in life, I do agree. There are just many times where life does tend to be rather bumpy. With a lot of ups and many downs. Many many downs depending on how much you let the downs get you down. However, there is always light within the darkness. Sometimes you just got to grope around and fine it. To appreciate it, to enjoy life. I think that there is much to smile about. There will be many laughs. Much joy to say the very least. Life is too short to be hung up on the past. It can be time to let go of some agony, even if it is just a little bit at a time. Eventually we'll get to the end. Even if it takes some baby steps. That's what it is. Baby steps, little by little.

Hi megamatt, I absolutely agree with the baby steps thing too something I have told many people close to me so many times now I am still hoping they will get it one day too. I guess I must be happy for the one's that do and forget what others's do or say until they can understand better to one day. Perhaps they are working out there own baby steps too and it's just too much to realize I am having to do the same things too as they are. I also really agree here that sometimes my down times go too long and make it much tougher for me to find that light once more. When I do find it though it is wonderful, I do believe I am trying to let go of allot of personal agony and just find it hard to do just yet but since I am aware of this I am sure it is just another one of those baby step things here once again now. Thanks,A.B.

It is a tough job keeping one's sanity. I have made it through the worst part of my life and I am thankful for that. However, it seems that it is harder to get back at your feet than I thought. All the emotional stuff that I have went through had passed. What's really bothering me now is being trapped in the situation that I put myself into. I guess my therapy is being in this community. When it seems to get worse, just reply to all discussions available to keep myself busy!

Hi, cherriefic. Thanks for your very wonderful comment here, I too find myself at times now coming here for those very same reason's not not think of the past negatives and move forward again with my life now to live more for today for here and now. Even though I don't really always care for this situation I have gotten myself in now either it is better there where I have been to focus on positives has helped a bit at times too. Thanks,A.B.

Yes we all have ups and downs in life but I think we all need a few more ups than life seems to give these days, negative people can drag you down I know but some of these need help and for some reason I find I am one of those that they seem to come to and not that I let many people see I am rather fragile myself, it would be a better world if we all could have more ups than the downs.

Hi,lilaclady I agree more ups would be ideal for sure. We do seem to have so many downs, perhaps you just give needed encouragement and advise to some here too, that's why people go to you. Thanks,A.B.
