Well in a single year I lost my job, gave up on a career I'd built over the last 20 years, broke up with a girlfriend, got back with an ex, got engaged to her a second time then found out she'd lied to me and worse. So a second split up. I lost my house to foreclosure, a very good friend of mine died, two aquiantences/friends died as well as another I barely knew but considered cool. Another friend was diagnosed with cancer. The IRS sent me a nasty letter. You get the idea. It was a year from hell literally.

I'm still here, still kicking and just as mean as ever :)

The thing is staying busy. You get depressed, it's a natural reaction. Then that depression feeds itself. The key is staying busy enough you forget to be depressed and forget about what's ailing you for a time. You'll still stop and lament. Still get mad about things. Still hurt. It's OK to have the occasional pity party long as you make is short and get it all out. What your going though is a lot like a deep splinter. Every so often you have to pierce the wound to let the pus out so that the splinter can work it's way out.

Usually you have to make big changes. When life isn't working it just isn't working and maybe it's an obstacle you have to go around, maybe you just need time away from people that remind you of something or maybe those people are part of why your depressed in the first place. So take up a new interest. Bury yourself in some sort of work. What is especially healthy is helping somebody else out. Doing that gives life new meaning cause even as badly mauled as your life is for that moment your at least able to do something positive. So donate some time collecting food for the homeless or something non-political. If you get into a political charity like saving AIDs folks in Africa from AIDs and or starvation you'll just get frustrated an angry. Pick something close that you can see a measurable difference, maybe even something you can witness first hand. Something that won't frustrate and anger you.

Reading is a great way to disapeer from thew world. Pick you a fiction book. Something that's not depressing. Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, whatever your into. If your hurting about a romance I'd pick something that was very light on the romance. Same with movies avoid romantic anything. Just go for strait through the gut action and special effects.

Never forget it'll get better. Even though it seems like it's impossible right now it will get better.Health Question & Answer

Life is often one big hard time for a lot of people. You ALWAYS make it through. And the best part is, when you look back you tend to think, "it really wasnt that bad." As for myself my life seems to be one struggle after another, but I have always learned from the hardest of times, and the strength it has provided me with has a person is one of my most valued personality characteristics. My husband is currently deployed to Iraq, I live alone in a city where I have no friends, or family, I go to a university that I despise, and some days I go entire days without saying a single word outloud. Its hard, but I find the silver lining. My husband and I are building an amazingly strong relationship out of this deployment. We are talking to one another more than we have since we met, and we are growing closer than I ever imagined we would. So although I have days where I want to give up, crawl in the bed, and just cry for days, I try to let the good stuff get me through. And it always does. So keep your head up! Regardless of what you are going through it will pass, and if you look hard enough there is a lesson to be learned somewhere in what you are going through! Have a happy holiday!!Health Question & Answer

I have, just remember that there is a time and a season for everything. Even though it is difficult and painful, in the end you will grow stronger from this. It isn't the easy times that shape us, it's the hard times that make us who we really are! Good luck and God blessHealth Question & Answer

Oh yes, the older you become, the more complicated life becomes but each day has a challenge of it's own. The word of God from the bible tells us to cast all our burdens unto Jesus Christ. He is faithful to take care of us. We should also not be worried because we can not change the number of hair in our head. God takes care of us. Take and live 1 day at a time. No problem is bigger than tomorrow. I have had a lot of many hard hard times but I am still alive and happy.Try to let them go by prayer, share them with a close friend or an elderly person, sibling or even your parents. You will be surprised how much people care about you and how easy it would be.
During this time Christmas, let the peace and Joy of God that was promised to mankind thru the birth of our Lord and saviou Jesus Christ be with you always.Health Question & Answer
