Changing Life Around?

[jwhitleyjr]

This might seem like a silly question. I guess I was looking for stories of hope. I would say that for the past 15 years. I have been struggling with emotional issues that have held me back in life such as unforgiveness (keeping me stuck in the past with anger).

Now General Anxiety disorder which has taken focus on what it is important like my school work.

I am 43 and it seems like it is one thing after another. I just feel like I am not strong enough to handle this thing called life.

I just want a decent career and family and I keep having obstacles.

So I guess I wanted forum members thoughts on this.

I just feel like with the rate I am going that I will stay in the same place in life. Alot of debt, a dead end job and living with roommates well into my 50s. When I would like to afford my own apartment.

Hi jwhitleyjr...the positive posts may be far and few between but they do exist.

Take a look at one I just responded to from Lizziedee (posted 2 hrs ago)

One of hope and positivity, which we all can use. xx

Dude, I am 50 and I feel a lot like the way you do, I totally get it. I believe some people who on the outside seem to have it all, they are good actors and actresses. A lot of stuff goes on behind closed doors of people's homes. A lot of people have debt, there's a lot of people who get divorced and then they feel lost, some people who have kids don't always like the way their kids behave. Don't give up hope, I won't give up if you don't give up. Maybe we're just late bloomers. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

I appreciate that I will not give up hope. The best to you.

You couldn't have said that any better. I think everyone suffering from mental illness are actually people who see things and the world....especially now..not living in a fantasy world. Someone once told me that people suffering from anxiety and depression are people who let their guard down. Kind of makes me wonder, if there is truth to that.

I don’t know this may be true, but I would rather see things happy and untrue as opposed to sad and filled with anxiety (because of the truths of life)
