Life can be a major fistfight !! And, for everyone-- at one time or another-- they're going to hit a patch of highway that is just simply ridiculous !! So, no matter how it looks to you right now---know two very important things ---- first, you are in the middle of the situation and have not got the best view of the total picture (the old forest for the trees thing is very true in these situations)---and the other is--- no matter how it looks to you--- you are NOT in the thing totally alone (there are others that can and would be willing to help in almost any situation--- believe me here because it is very true !!)
I might throw something on you here that I have found to be rock solid in my life---- One would wish and hope for a life totally devoid of adversity and trial--- and we all wish for things to go absolutely without hitches !! But, without adversity, we do not truly grow as individuals--- and without being tested in some way we can live our entire lives without knowing our capabilities !!
And, I am telling you here---whatever it is that you're dealing with-- YOU my dear are bigger than it is !! And, with a touch of grit and determination you get thru it all--- people all over the world get up and face unbelievable odds every single day and conquer the day by --a lot of times-- nothing short of just pure Spite of the Circumstances !!!
I will encourage you here in telling you---- take it from an old salt who has seen tribulations aplenty within his life--- and it is not to say that other problems and trials will never again surface for you-- but--- usually when you go thru a really really rough patch of road--- when it ends --- it ends---and things turn around and in no time after that point a person is wondering what the dickens just happened (its kinda like you just come thru a bad dream or something)---- Point being--- it will pass !!!!!
Keep the faith---- Best to You---- and God's Speed !!!!

Look back at times similar to this and how you made it through those. Talk with those who have had the same experiences and share what you are going through with someone who understands you and knows who you are....a good listener. Remember this too shall pass. No matter how bad this looks now it is only temporary - change is coming. The key...supportive friends and family. Hope this helps.

Study proverbs in the bible. You don't have to be christian to take good advice.
