Having Options

When a person has issues in their life and they feel up against a wall, with no way or place to turn it is so wonderful to have options. It is the difference between having a nervous breakdown and feeling some strength in a given concern. If you feel that things aren't as stringent and complex as you had thought then there is a big sigh of relief.

Yes, It really helps when you are up against this sort of thing. Mental illness is no fun.

@arthurchappell .....It's good that you are. So many people have these negative attitudes about it and it from ignorance. As is gay phobia and such as that all through society.

It is always true that having options are better than not having any. No one wants to be in that situation, although it certainly happens.

Like you said, staying positive is a good "option" too. So easily we can continue on with being negative, but that just brings us down more . . . better to stay positive so we can try to see and make use of options that could be out there.

I sure do try to be positive. It is hard with all the crap that goes on around here some times. It is a goal of mine however.

It is great to have options so you know where you can go for help or who you can turn to.

Yes, and feeling like you don't have any options is just awful.

It takes a lot of courage to see and take things in life from a different stance. In extreme cases help is needed and all have to accept and be in unison for that help to come about. I was trying to help in a very difficult situation which I had to leave in the end because I saw that me being there only made things worse for the said person. All best wishes and thoughts going out.

Thanks for best wishes. I think that sometimes we just have to move on. Options help the situation move forward instead of stagnating.

If I ever feel up against a wall I always discuss things with my hubby and we look for the best solutions. Plus I send up a prayer to the Lord for guidance.
