No joking around please...I really wonder if I'm crazy or something. One day everything is going good and I feel positive to make life better so I move in that direction. Then the next I will feel overwhelmed and just kinda give up on everything. Is it ever to late to make a better life? I have been married for eight years and have four wonderful children but our life is such a struggle, I know it's what we made it but it's still hard. Sometimes I feel like I can tackle anything (daily duties, pursuing my education) and others I feel like everything is over. Does anyone have any postive ways to find more productive ways to stay on track....? And do you ever think it's to late to change your life for the better, I know people always say it's never to late but is that true??????? Just wondering what everyone thought?
Thanks....

Your problem is that you rely on your feelings to dictate what you'll do. No one wakes up feeling motivated every day. Replace "motivated" with the word committed. Some days you wake up feeling like dirt, but you choose to not indulge in that feeling. You need to stop waiting for feelings to propel you to do things and stick to a plan with commitment.
Change takes time, and change has to be done step by step. Most people expect to announce "I am changing" and everything is supposed to be instantly better, but it doesn't work that way. They wake up and things are about the same as they were yesterday and give up.

Even if you had 5 minutes left on earth, its never too late to change anything! I know a woman who is just like you.......One day she is so high-spirited, the next a terrible mess. Do you have any issues in your past that may be causing this? Abused as a child, self-esteem issues? She has both! I am trying my hardest to help her, but in the end, its her decision, and her's alone!
Try seeing a therapist, maybe there are issues you are not even aware of.

Everyone has good and bad days. But try and stay positive and remain focused. I don't think it is ever too late to change, so many people in the world have proven that.

I know exactly how you feel. I feel like everything is awesome sometimes and then other times I feel like it's all going to sh*t, and there's no use in trying to do anything, and I just want to run away from everyone including my husband and start over. ( I have no children)

no, its never too late to change and try to make changes. but u also must realize that every day is not going to be perfect (sometimes not even close) we all have our ups and downs. just enjoy the ride
