Their are so many, but the most "complete change", was when I got sober. It was a total 180 degree change.

I think that I would interpret what they had to say based on what you and the other person were talking about at the time they said what they said in response. If it was random, then I woudn't make anything of it because it wouldn't make any sense otherwise to just say something that intense for no reason. It sounds to me like most likely you all were talking about something not so positive that had occurred and that they were trying to reassure you that there isn't anything to worry about. Because no matter how seemingly bad it can get, things can happen that can change your life to make it for the better, whether they be large or small, minor or "drastic". All I am saying is that maybe you can try and look at the positive way it can be interpreted. I know I did not answer your question, but it sounded like you needed some help and I felt that was more important than anything seemingly drastic that may have occured in my life. Hope things go well for you.

The major wrong decision I made was not doing the arts degree I wanted to do when I enrolled at college. Instead I chose a "safe" subject - accounting - because my father was an accountant. He said to me - the only thing you can do with a history degree is be a teacher - and I did not want to be a teacher. He was wrong. I could have been a librarian. I truely regret not doing that history degree.
I am now in my 40s, and am still not settled in a career. I have drifted from job to job.

The event that completely changed my life happened in 1967. I was to return from Badrinath to Joshimath to catch another bus for Rishikesh. These places are in Himalaya Mountains. It was raining heavily for two days and on the morning of my journey, there occurred a huge landslide from hills upon the road. The road transport came to a halt. I had to walk down 16 kilometers of hilly road to connect to my next journey..I hired a Sherpa to carry my luggage and we started walking. En route, I sat on a small parapet to rest. Suddenly, stones of various sizes started rolling down the hill and going above me fell in the deep ravines on the other side of the hilly road.I was naturally scared not knowing what I should do to protect myself. Suddenly a large stone,about 3 feet by 3 feet rolled from the hill and passed over me at distance of two or three feet from my head and fell in the ravine making lot of noise.It was a very narrow escape for me.It was then I realized that I am no body in this large world. Had I been crushed by this stone,no one would have known or bothered about me, my status, my education or my worth of which I am so very proud. I realized my nothingness and all that made me proudy were gone. Humility came into my thinking. I became more responsible to the society.I vividly remember the event even after a gap of 40 years.

Maybe it is time you look to see what it is you are calling "luck".
Honest evaluation of your decision making skills might reveal a sloppy record. And, that can be fixed.
Don't give up. Look at what has put you into this frame of mind and the drastic situations you find yourself in.
Maybe some new friends, a money management course, etc.
Really. Be brutal. You may solve your own problems by just looking at them realistically.

Mom died of cancer. It helped me focus more on religion. Because in my religion it says there is life after death so I want to be with my mother because she was the only one in this life I connected the most with. (I am shy, low confident, and not much friends)
So hold on; life has its ups and downs! :)
Pray if you need help.

The numinous experience. I felt the presence of the Holy. It was brief, but I'll never forget it.
(You may depressed. You should get evaluated.)
