Do you ever sit back and think to yourself "what in the hell did I do to deserve this life"?

Question

I cant help but think I am being punished.....

Answer 1

Step back and take a good look around are there ANY good things in your life. good things are often hidden. don't let the bad over power the good. The world today focuses so much on the bad just look at the news. well no don't look at the news its bad. Have you ever heard a news man say young boy picks flowers for mom details at 11:00. No and probably never will people like to hear and tell the bad things in life no wonder people have given up all they hear is bad. There are so many things in life that are good yet we let bad things consume our minds. WE all have bad things I just try to make things look better than what they are I hate to drag someone down because of MY misfortune. Sometimes I say good things just to mask my negativity when it comes out. Just trying to improve ones out look an life. My creed if you will (what I try to live by) "If you are not happy it's time to make a change"

Answer 2

I have in fact thought things along those lines before, especially during the bankruptcy that resulted from me not knowing where the money was going in that first marriage. I just trusted her to pay the bills etc., but she wasn't towards the end of it, about the time I caught her in MY bed with mt 'best' friend ! So, yes, I did wonder why my trusting her put me through such hell. One thing though, I am now much stronger and more assertive, and a bit more confident in my self, but not to the point of being proud. There is none of that sort of problem in this marriage, it's just there is no life or spark there, despite my efforts. No hate, no distrust etc, just, same old-same-old ! It's comfortable, but drives me nuts, because I keep thinking, there must be more to life than this rut.
I hope that answers your "good" question.oxox

Answer 3

I have thought that in the past but I don't know I think everything happens for a reason. If things are bad in your life there is a reason I don't think your being punished. Something good will come out of your mess. You have to think positive and be happy. Things will eventually work out trust me

Answer 4

I beleive that is what they call retribution. what you do in the past life, you get in this life. in other words, karma is paying for what is due to us. I feel the same way. What did I do to deserve all the hell that I have had to endure? and They say God doesn't give us anything more then we can handle, but I tell ya, He sure knows how to push me to the edge of what I can handle. I have had bad luck with men, one bad, bad , marriage, When I lived in Idaho, the house out back blew up.
then My ex set me up after I had moved away from the house that blew up, and the state took mykids just as I was going to go back to college and to computer classes. they took them over amphetimine residue in my bathroom ashtray. They dismissed my charges and kept my kids. it was horrible. then my mom got custody and moved them back here, and then I sold everything I owned to move back here to. So that I could be close to my kids, then I made a bad choice that eventually landed me in prison for a year, and now that I am off parole for 4 y ears now, I cant get a job., because of my felony.. life just isn't fair.
And thats just the last 10 years. I hate to know ahead of time what the next 10 years is going to put me through.. geeze,, what did I do to deserve all this? What ever it was, I sure hope I don't do it again.

Answer 5

Before I met Jason, lots of times...

You know the song "Eversince the world began"? That's kinda cheesy but the first 2 stanzas express how i really feel about life and destiny...

I never knew what brought me here
As if someboy led my hand
It seems I hardly had to steer,
My course was planned.

A destiny that guides us all
And by it's hand we rise and fall;
But only for a moment time
Enough to catch our breath again.

But now i'm happy things are falling into place. Love is the only cure i guess.

Answer 6

Yes, I've been wondering that for a long time now. Somehow I ended up on disability, and I don't know how to get off of it. I feel like I'm being punished also. I can't figure out why, I mean, I didn't commit any crime or anything like that. If you want to chat with me about my situation, please do so anytime.

Answer 7

I think everyone thinks that at some point or another...a really close friend of mine gave me a thought that helps me on those days though.

" I once felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet."
I know everything will be ok because I still have feet.

basically the gist of it is that no matter how bad you have it, there is someone out there who has it worse. If youthink about that, it makes dealing with things easier.......

Answer 8

I do wonder. But I certainly don't think I am being punished. The grace of God has given me a wonderful life. I just had to accept it. Too bad that took me so many years to realize that.

Answer 9

yep

My parents got divorced when I was 2 and I've never met my real mom ever since and live with my horrible stepmom who always favors my half sister but claims to treat us both the same. I didn't find out any of this until I was 12.
But ya know, life does go on and we have to roll along with it.

hang in there hon!

Answer 10

I do all the time. I am a Realtor and the real estate business sucks in Maine. I am going to Georgia to look at the Athens area in July. I hate living in Maine and my husband does not want to leave. I will divorce him if I have to to get out of here.
