Please say something to cheer me up?

Question

My struggle seems endless....when will it end?

Answer 1

When you stop viewing it as a struggle, and instead see it as a path to be taken, learned from, and improved upon...

If you have a computer, you have a home, with electricity, and that's better than over half the people on the planet. Put your struggles in perspective.

Answer 2

They say that if you stop struggling, when stuck in quick sand, you stop sinking. Stop struggling. Instead, think about how you got there, and ways you can get out, without sinking further. Life is full of struggles, and they'll either make you or break you. It's all about perspective, and how you look at your situation. I've learned that EVERYTHING is temporary...except death...that's permanent. As others have said, "this too, shall pass". It always does. Sometimes it gets worse, before it gets better. While that might not cheer you up right now, if you look at it as a temporary situation, there IS a way out. Examine all the angles that are available to you. You've taken a big step here, in asking for help. See if there are people who know you, who could maybe give you a different way to look at your situation. Much of what we struggle against is our own foolishness...our screw-ups. But, there's a way out of those too. Admitting you goofed up, then seeing if there's a way to fix it is a good first step. Changing ourselves is the hardest thing we can do, especially if we can't see what's wrong or what needs changing. You might want to ask those who are close to you for some honesty here. Listen carefully, even if it makes you angry, or upset. Truth often does. If your struggle is financial, then do what you can do, and call those who you can't take care of, letting them know your situation, and try to make arrangements to get them paid off. It's been my experience that if you call, they'll work with you easier than if they've gotta find you. Running from problems is useless...they eventually find you. Meet every difficulty head on, and quickly. Without really knowing your particular struggle, it's hard to direct you effectively. If you want to, you can e-mail me, and I'll answer to the best of my ability. <*)))><

Answer 3

I sound like a broken record but....Misery is an option, not a curse.

When you start to look at your life as an endless sea of opportunities rather than an endless sea of struggles, then you'll gain a better persepective.

There's a lot to be said for the attitude which we bring to our situations. If you're pesimistic and think you can't do it or that life is always bringing you down, it will.

Answer 4

A struggle is usually a tug of war within ones' self. Let go of one side of the rope - whichever doesn't matter to you and hold firm to the other side. For example, if you are struggling to maintain your integrity within a shady business, move on and be free of that business. See what I mean? Your journey continues and there will doubtless be more struggles, but you will learn to rise above them more quickly with every choice you make. Try to get more sleep, eat well, and nurture yourself. You deserve some pampering right now. Physical symptoms almost always come with emotional struggles. I wish you well.

Answer 5

Well, if it makes you feel any better, most people are struggling in one way or another. Some can handle things better than others of course, but nonetheless, it is still difficult times we all have to endure from time to time.

Get stronger from every "struggling" or difficult experience and find the positve side of something that seems to be difficult for the moment.

Believe in "this to shall pass" and it will. Just keep it moving and don't stay stuck in a rut.

Answer 6

I'm sorry, but the only thing I've had factual evidence of as truly endless is the parade of Jehovah Witnesses and Mormon Missionaries knocking at my front door.

The last time I cheered anything was when a touchdown was made, but I was sitting on the wrong side of the field.

Hell, I struggle every morning to get out of bed. My ankles and knees retired 3 years before I did.

Answer 7

There's an echo calling near the entrance of the forest. Where majestic tree's sway in the night breezes and the moonlit sky soothes your soul.
Stand still and listen. Because silence always hears your spirit speak. Commune with all the nature around you, because we are all ONE. Every living being ties into one another. After a short while silence will turn to song awakening your soul even deeper, igniting the fire within you. Allow the wholeness of earthly and spiritual energy to envelop your whole being into a mesmerizing state. Feeling the cool breezes, viewing the stars can almost send you above the treetops and into the midnight clouds of moonlit reflections

Answer 8

Your struggle isn't endless. I've known people, seen people, who were almost nutjobs because the poor condition of their heart was literally driving them insane. They were my friends, and yes, they were all very, EXTREMELY emo. But, they eventually stopped looking at their life in all the wrong ways and improved. I'm not a psychologist, it's not like I handed them meds or nothing...they did it on their own, I just got to watch.

You feel like you aren't healing because there is some part of you that doesn't want to heal. Whatever spiritual wounds you've suffered, you have to make the choice to heal. One of my friends told everyone that her life was so bad, that her parents hated her and her life sucked, that her boyfriend used to love her but didn't anymore, and all this other crap. We tried to help her, but she turned us down. She didn't want to even try to heal.

You are thinking as you read this, of course I want things to get better!! And it sounds really corny, but this worked for me...

The people you have contact with, friends, family, care about you. So it's not really a struggle, is it? Not when you have so much help. If you look at the up and not the down, and if you quit telling yourself it's so hard, then you're on the road you want to be on.

Answer 9

See the Glass as half full instead of half empty, do something that makes you feel, like swimming, playing sport, watching a favourite movie, talking with friends or if they p you off at the moment go somewhere that reminds you of good memories, travel to somewhere different to look at a different landscape for a few days, talk to people that you would generally overlook, they may have some words of wisdom that you hadn't thought of. Run an errand for someone to ease their load for the day.
