All the bad luck

[Lindsey14]

Anyone else feel like they always get the bad end of the stick? Like bad things always happen to you? I feel like everyone else gets the breaks and have hardly any problems. Like its my bad luck to have anxiety as we'll?

Hi Lindsey14, the old saying, "if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all".

I worked with somebody who for years believed that about himself. Actually,

his life was good but he tended to focus on only what he could see about other

people. Not everyone processes life the same. Life isn't about luck. I think

Anxiety makes us look at the picture completely different than most people. xx

it feels that everything in my life is bad luck - sometimes ill have really good days and have this fear and darkness come over me because something good happened so something 10X worse is on its way.

but we must always look to the light of good and believe that only the strong (us) can take this kind of luck and maybe turn it around. one day we will be the luckiest people around, one day =)

Yes, I feel this way a lot. Agora is right in that anxiety does make us see the picture completely different. For me, I know intellectually that other people do go through hard times and have problems, but when I'm struggling with my anxiety or depression, I sometimes feel like the entire universe is against me, and nothing ever goes right for me. I have to try really hard to keep pressing forward even when everything feels hopeless.
