Have you ever had every aspect of your life be terrible simultaneously? What did you do to pull yourself out?

I felt sorry for myself for 4 years. Then I started dating a special girl and everything clicked. I went from working minimum wage renting a room and didnt care now I have goals because I have someone to share them with. Its been 2.5 years I've been with her and my whole being has turned around.

Face the reality. Do not run away from it. Take it as a new assignment. Believe in that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Trust in God.The problem may not be that grave.I failed twice in the same year when I was doing my graduation. I took it as an assignment and study hard to clear in the examination. Today, I am a successful manager in a reputed company. So do not loose hopes and keep going.

Tackle one issue at a time and try not to allow yourself to combine them in your mind. "My life is a mess" No it isn't. There are just many SEPARATE things to deal with all at once. Start with one and get the ball rolling. You don't have to solve it in a minute. Then go to the next. If it is an issue that you can get assisstance with then ask someone to assist.

Two old sayings, "when it rains it pours" and "Momma said there'd be days like this" come to mind. When things get really bad, life sucks and even then something ELSE crappy happens, I get to the point when I just have to laugh. Sometimes life is just ridiculous! Then sure enough things start to improve.

Crazy!

Ditto stev's answer. When your mate dies unexpectedly and their family grabs everything you worked years acquiring together and treats you like dirt, etc, etc...
