I know everyone must feel this sometimes. I am so sick to death of everything right now. I keep trying to make the right choice, but my life gets worse instead of better. I'm making changes that logically will improve my life, but I feel miserable. My relationship with my husband is suffering, I have no desire to go to church anymore, and I'm short on patience in general.
I just want to quit, but I can't. There is no break in sight, not even a day. How does one keep going when life just stinks.
I know, I can hear it now, things will get better, but unless I hit the lottery, that really is impossible. So, how do you just accept a crappy life. I feel bad that this is all I have to offer my kids.

I am in the exact same situation as you! I was (and sometimes still am) going through very bad depression. I have 3 sons. My wife and I decided a few years ago to stay living together for the kids sake, but we are living a separate lives. Sort of a don't ask don't tell lifestyle. I couldn't go out with other women, she didn't have a problem seeing guys.
I kept going by thinking about others who are in a much worse situation, and how lucky I am that at least I and my kids are healthy. My kids are all in advanced classes. and no one knows of my marital and other life problems. Sounds simple, but it works. BTW I am also financially in the crapper and wish I would win the lottery.
Good Luck

When i realize a problem i try not to get upset, try to take one step outside me, calm down (even if i have to cry my eyes out first) and then try to find out what is going wrong and why things are not going my way. When i spot the problem i cut it from the root. If it evolves people i know they won't change for me but i give a warning and a few chances. When nothing changes i just delete them from my life. Its painfull but it works sooner or later. This of course is different for our children because children are part of us and we'll always love them no matter what. At least i feel this way about mine.

First relax, let yourself rest.
Next listen to your heart.
You will hear Gods footsteps right by your own.
Except the fact that you need nothing, we westerners think we need the world, when we need nothing. Let go of your "neediness". Stop fighting God. We were not meant to run anything except our mouth. "Let go and let God"If you need help understanding this concept , go to your local library or book store and read Dr. Wayne Dyers books, the last three were great soul savers, he lead me down the path to God that literally saved my life, same situation as yours, except my relationship with my wife was suffering.
Love life and live to love, release all negative energy and find all positive sources(Jesus)to learn from(Dr. Wayne Dyer).
Be happy just because you can, we all love you and pray for you. All life is bound by a common energy, love.

If both of you are suffering, why don't you end the suffering. There is always a light in front of a dark tunnel .It depends on how brave are you to continue with the route to the light

My life is total Hell. I have virtually no reason to even try to keep going in this crazy world, but I do. I'm not about to let anyone or anything have victory over me.
When life hands you lemons, smack it across the face and demand apples.
