I am so down and out and no matter what I do, nothing goes right. I cant get out of this financial bind I am in and i just want to say the heck with it and just give up. I am 33 and I feel like and 80. Im tired, my soul is tired. Im tired of worrying, tired of stressing..im just tired of being tired. I just wanted to talk to some of you to see if you have ever felt the same way and just when you thought it was all about to go down the drain, what happened if anything. I really dont believe in miracles because none has really ever happened to me. I have been in sorrows kitchen and licked all the pots. Im just tired. One thing after another...every single day.

I think this happens to many people of the world. Just because this happens to many, the belief of God has increased in the world.
There are many scenarios in my life when I found that I was lost, but suddenly someone (even strangers) helped me out to come out of my ridiculous situation.

Everything will get better, i felt like this years ago.. ended up going bankrupt... but everything got better after i had done this.. one thing you should never do is get hooked on credit cards... speaking from experience!!

I will admit this, yes, when I was a child, I did feel like I wanted to give up on life, I was 12 years of age, but then, Goldie came into my life. She taught me what it was to be a mother.

So sorry to hear about your situation.
What's important is to take concrete steps to get yourself out of your financial bind, even if it's a little at a time.
worry doesn't add a day to our lives. and I'm not sure the extent of the financial problem you are in, but take a walk in the park, look at the beauty around you, the simple life that the carefree bird or cat has, and know that life is worth living.
take a deep breath and know that what does not kill you will only make you stronger. take heart. every breath we take is a miracle. at least you have your health. :)

Yes, I have felt this way numerous times. Read my discussion that I started called "Join My Pity Party" and read what I wrote, and what other's wrote. It might make you feel better........
Don't give up! I am 33 too, and I thought I was going to die in the hospital in May, and I didn't. So, God doesn't want me yet, and I don't want the devil to get me, so I'm gonna have to stick around here. I'm not religious. I don't believe in miracles either. But, if I didn't end up in that ER thinking I was dying of a heart attack, things might not have turned out the way that they did either!

We have all been trough that. I'm about you age and know what you are talking about. A miracle probably wont happen. It is up to you to do something. You have find something or somebody in your life that motivates you and go on.

I have been through good and bad times. I have experienced life's hardest blows and trials. I have been tired of my life, but I never gave up because I believe He is there to uplift me as long as I surrender everything to Him.
On my own viewpoint, the reason people are tired of life is because God has not given them anything— they have not been given their life "as a prize." The way to get out of this condition is to abandon yourself to God. And once you do get to the point of total surrender to Him, you will be the most surprised and delighted person on earth. God will have you absolutely, without any limitations, and He will have given you your life.
This is the firm and immovable secret of the Lord to those who trust Him— "I will give your life to you . . . ." What more does a man want than his life? It is the essential thing. ". . . your life . . . as a prize . . ." means that wherever you may go, even if it is into hell, you will come out with your life and nothing can harm it.
The true test of abandonment or surrender is in refusing to say, "Well, what about this?" Beware of your own ideas and speculations. The moment you allow yourself to think, "What about this?" you show that you have not surrendered and that you do not really trust God. But once you do surrender, you will no longer think about what God is going to do. Abandonment means to refuse yourself the luxury of asking any questions. If you totally abandon yourself to God, He immediately says to you, "I will give your life to you as a prize . . . ."
