Answer 1

The biggest single issue I am facing today, these days in general, hell, since I turned 40 last year, is that I've been struggling with my mental illness, my depression and post-traumatic stress issues, *and also* the social backlash from having "issues" in this society. I've been struggling with all of this for 15 years now, and I haven't been *getting* anywhere.

And the people, the local mental health system, that I've been struggling with these past 15 years....they aren't useful in the slightest, but they are the ONLY folks in town who will even remotely work with poor (as in impoverished) clients (who lack money, that is). So basically I am stuck in a nasty version of Einstein's definition of insanity here: Forced to "get help" from the same unhelpful bunch of negligent louts over and over and over again, in the hope that the results will be different *in spite of* the reality of my past experience with these people.

Basically, I've been in the struggle all my life, since I was ten years old. And for 15 years of my adult life I *thought* that maybe *somebody* in the current system knew what he or she was doing. Now.....I don't believe that at all, and yet circumstances and their monopoly power force me to work with them again.

It's bad is what it is. I've needed BOTH meds and counseling for the past 15 years, and have been unable to maintain reliable access to *both* at the same time. This struggle of mine, to get well and *get a life*, is devouring me. Simply put. It's become such a burden I am beginning to think I'm going to have to *sue folks* or something just to get them to do their damned jobs. Nothing works like it's supposed to.

And aside from that....?

My other problems tie into the illness *or especially* its social consequences. The lonliness, the lack of hope for the future, the lack of motivation and energy to keep on "doing stuff" when "doing stuff" is just plain futile.

But yeah. I know. It's a struggle, and there's nothing to do about it but keep grinding away until nothing remains of me. I know. Dying isn't an option, for me the saying is more like "Live Free or Be Erased [*]".

Thanks for your time. ^_^

Answer 2

The biggest issue I am currently facing is trying to be content with who I am, and with what I have. I have become very down on myself lately because of the fact that I am barely getting by and everyday seems to be getting harder. I am barely able to pay my rent. I am walking to work in the hot atlanta sun b/c I don't have a car. I am just really discontented with my life right now. And the biggest issue is trying to withstand and trying to understand that where I am is not where I will be in the future. Trying not to constantly think negatively about my situation and trying trying trying to be happy with my life. It is hard. I am a college graduate working for 10/hr and I can barely pay my bills. I have no cell phone. I have no house phone I can only talk to people when I'm at work. I am just really unhappy. So, my biggest thing is trying to withstand the pain, trying to endure the hardships of life, and trying to understand that trouble won't last always. It's hard when you're in the middle of it.

Answer 3

Our family has always been close. 4 years ago my brothers wife died of cancer, they had a 5 year old at the time, my nephew and Godson. My bro. remarried w/in 4 months, and new wife is so selfish, controlling, and has tore our family apart. I know its my brothers fault too, but she is his mom since day one, cant talk about real mom, no pictures, They now have 2 little ones together. they cut us in and out of their lives for no reason. Right now we are cut off. my brother is a severe alocholic I worry about him and love him so much. My heart hurts. My parents are 61 and 68 years old. I cant have children-- So their are no grandkids running around.

Answer 4

Well, for today, having read the answers so far, I have decided I don't have any big problems. Just the normal stuff everyone worries about on a day to day basis.

Answer 5

Same BIGGEST ISSUE I face everyday. Seeing (and hearing) the grief, the hopelessness, the sorror, the sickness, the terror, the disbelief, the unanswered questions and prayers and the multiple different disorders in society today and know, that for the most part, my small positive contribution, is not now nor ever will be enough.

Answer 6

Money. I'm not somebody who wants much,many of my clothes come from Salvation Army, and that is fine. Hubby makes good money, but is reckless beyond belief, bills go unpaid, little food in the house, etc, etc. Money, and the difference of opinion on how it should be spent, has ended this relationship.

Answer 7

Totally that I met this racist JBev on Yahoo! Answers... I mean like "what up?! Yo. Cause she's "gangsta" according to her profile.
Just kidding... saw that she's troubled by someone saysing she was racist- but she doesn't allow IM or Email... can't let people bug you, especially not in a public forum like this.
The biggest ISSUE with THIS question RIGHT that I'm facing is probably the BOLD FACE BLOCK PRINT LETTERS IN YOUR QUESTION. THEY'RE HUGE!!

Answer 8

The will to meaning....

Question reality/existence and live as a social pariah or let myself float away in the material comforts of a incomplete/false life.

Answer 9
