Answer 1

It's just a rough season but you'll get through it. Don't let problems get in the way of work and school. Girlfriends and many so-called friends are a dime a dozen. Focus and determine to like your work then it will become a pleasure, not drudgery. Change yourself and your job will seem different. Practice being relaxed - easy always does it. Don't press, stress or depress.

Take on the unseen partner and friend. It is surprising the load Jesus can take off of you. God is just as much at work in offices, factories, stores, and schools as He is in churches. God knows more about your life than you do and His help will make life easier. God will help you - so believe and live successfully. I'll pray for you.

Okay, here's the scoop. As you go lthrough life, you will find out that things never work out as you had thought they would. There are always ups and downs and in betweens.
The best way to cheer up is to realize that this is going to happen...and it happens to everyone.
When problems arise that you need to handle, set a priority for them. If they are small problems (like what time am I going to meet my boyfriend, but I need to wash my hair), don't even fret over them. They will work themselves out.
larger problems that need more attention may need some attention from you by talking over your schedule with your folks or a trusted friend. Set priorities; sometimes you have to do what you want to do and not always what your friends or girlfriend want to do. In that way, you can be happy.
I am not editorializing or preaching to you, but these are the facts.
Life is a balancing act. Be a good pole walker!

Join the club, kiddo.....we're having jackets made. I, too, feel like the plate spinner in the circus from time to time. But, you just have to put things into prospective, and prioritize. The important people relationships in your life need to be priority #1, but getting a good education and finishing school is right up there, too. Remember, jobs will come and go in your life, but your family and friends and those you hold dear, will be with you forever.

I hope you don't think this is a "jerk" answer because I certainly don't mean it to be. Many people have trouble balancing everything they have to do in life, this is nothing new. You just have to determine which is the most important to you.

Answer 4

Hi! First of all, I hope you're having a good day so far.

I know exactly how you feel, some days all I want to do is crawl up and die. We all have our hectic points in life when it seems that we can't balance everything at once. Even during those hectic times, we manage to create some nice memories. I was serving detention (which I've NEVER gotten before) and one boy found underwear in a bag in a desk, and he held it up on a pencil and walked around the class with it. Even the detention teacher cracked up. I've gotten to know many other kids since that experience.

Just know that someday things will cool off. Sometimes in order to give, you have to take away, and that's what life does to us. One thing I do to 'cool off' and just take a break from it all is take a relaxing shower and then meditate with a hot cup of tea or I eat junk food. The key here is to be able to have time for yourself when you can just kick back. Procrastination has gotten me to the bad points of my life so far, so I've made up a schedule of what I will do and I make sure I do it so I have extra time and I don't have any extra things to do later.

For inspiration, do something new. Express yourself. Take up a hobby. Listen to music you have never listened to before. Read old poems and modern poems. Knit. Paint. The world is yours to explore.

Answer 5

I hear ya! it's a bit overwhelming but hang in there. Take some time for yourself...even if it is for just a day or even a few hours. this way you'll be able to regroup and prioritize the things that are really important... like yourself. Your girlfriends and friends should understand that and if they don't, well that's another issue. You've got a lot on your plate it seems and you should be proud that you're able to juggle all of those things ... not everyone can do that. Cheer up ... things will get better!

Answer 6

Well - this isn't too cheerful to start, but it sometimes helps. One of the basic tenets of Buddhism is "Life is Difficult" While that doesn't sound great, it helps you change your viewpoint. Who ever said that life should be easy is WRONG. Life is a challenge - but you need to see it differently. You have trouble balancing work/social activities/school? You are BLESSED! You're working, you have a social life and the opportunity for education! THAT'S WONDERFUL. Many people would be jealous!

Start turning around your thinking - and realize how GREAT it is to have the problem of balancing all the wonderful things in your life.

Best of luck to you :-)

Answer 7

Trust me on this one, I'm 49 have 3 boys by the time I was 17. Got cancer had total hysterectomy at 18. Then got hooked on Heroin, Diludid, and Valium. Now that I'm sober and appreciate being alive not just existing, life is too damn short to sit on the pity pot, cause if anyone deserves to complain it would be me, but something greater than I wants me here. Treatment 32 times, died 7 times, Methadone 24 years. I'm grateful for the time I do have left and make life as beautiful as possible.

Answer 8

I would sayget off of the computer. Go out. Slow down, you will have enough time to get things done. Life is too long. Sorry chum, I will be 60 in a few months and I can remember being 10 like it was yesterday. No it is not too long. Enjoy every minute. Who says you have do drive yourself so hard?

Answer 9

Shtogun, what keeps me going is knowing that it's all worth it.

My life goes through stages, very busy, not so busy and Nothing to do. So remember when it's hectic. It won't always be like that. You will have some down time. Then it's hard to adjust to that. So, run while the running is good.
But always make sure that you give your precious body a good nights rest. It takes you everywhere you want to go and fulfills all that it can so take care of your health no matter what.
You sound like a really strong minded individual to be secure enough to ask for a lift. That takes courage.
So for that I'm giving you an A+.

Best of luck, take care of you,

Answer 10

Never let anybody think you give up. Sometimes we feel like that and the heart can't understand why.... But it is only sometimes. as our life is like a zebra crossing - now you feel like dying, but in a minute you are a great and happy man in the world. Sometimes we are tired of everybody, Like me now. I don't even want to talk to anybody here in the Internet, though I have so many nice and kind and understanding friends...... I am arranging my thoughts in a definite order..... and undrstand Life must go on!
I wish you good luck my dear. I believe that everything will be all right soon. HUGS. Irene
