It really makes me think again and again. what wrong I have done in life? All the times one after another problem crop in my life. whatever way I try to fight, it seems not enough. Next day a major problem comes. Its really tough at times to solve all these. There are so many tensions and problem. And it seems nothing is diminishing, rather they are cropping in one after another. Sometimes i think I will go mad or will die from so much tension. Why only few are tested so much in life while others are quite free? Is it just mere bad luck?

I have been reading about your problems lately. Please dont go on thinking about this all the time. All of us go through problems. For some it is more than the others. Dont worry these days will pass. When God gives us problems he also gives us the courage to face them.

Hello there subha, I know that in life, we will be facing crisis and major ones at that most of the time. However, please do find that extra strength to pick up the pieces and move on. I might not know the real situations that you are facing and it could be anything from personal finances, relationships, career right up to family problems or worst, marital ones. Let me share my life experiences so far. It's not a cup of tea, trust me. I've been going through heaven and hell and back to heaven and hell again. Not literally, though. I mean in life. And I used to wonder like you like why others are having it easy but I'm not. But on the rare surface, they are also wondering why I'm lucky and not being like them. It's true that the grass tends to look greener on the other side and it's important for one not to really succumbing to it. Please do not find it in yourself to solve them all, because problems are not going to have solutions that easy. Just take one thing at a time and here is a proverb from Eddith Wharton that I really love. It says, "If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we would have a pretty good time". I wish and pray the best for you, subha. Do take a nice breather and come back bouncing yeah.

Subha dear, If you feel free about it, you can discuss these problems here or you can PM me. Sometimes you know, we are so much into our problems that we cant have a neutral view of it. And until and unless we have a neutral opinion, we cannot get good solutions. Whenever we try to think of solutions ourselves, our views become biased and we make mistakes. Also, different people have different take on the same situation…so talk to us about specific problems and I am sure you will get some solution. And if nothing else, at least you will get to share your sorrows with your friends and believe me, that helps a lot too.

Everybody is tested in different ways, but as people get more experienced and used to drastic changes, they make little fuss about it. That doesn't mean they have fewer or no problems at all, does it? Five years from now and you won't be starting this sort of discussions, I bet. Don't expect life to be a smooth ride, it can never be one. It's very hard to settle down once and for all. Anticipate shocks and surprises, twists and turns, pains and problems, on every waking day of your life, for that is how you can transcend the obstacles without letting them completely overpower you. Even as I'm writing this, I've a lot of personal problems which I've put behind for the time being; I'm not going to take them on all at once, just one or two and try to beat it patiently. Goodluck!

Such is the nature of life! It's like day after night and vice-versa; while you are relaxing thinking the dark night has passed over and seem to enjoy the freshness of daylight, the night will be in charge again. Please don't lose patience, there's a long journey ahead of you, to live. You can still take it in your stride if you will, all these setbacks and sufferings are meant to make you stronger in the long run. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1579760/Depression-'makes-sufferers-stronger'.html

I think what is important to remember is that everyone has problems and bad things that happen. Even those who appear to be quite lucky etc. They my not be problems thta are as serious but they are still worries for them. I think one person has a worry which another person will think they are being silly about and should get over it and vice versa. Something which I have learnt is that things can chnage for the good at anytime. A few weeks ago I was very depressed and could not be bothered to do anything, even things which I normally enjoy doing. Now I feel so much better and even though I know I will probably feel like that again I know that thye good times will return as well. Having these problems does not mean that you have done anything wrong. It just means that you are living your life and life has ups and downs even if the ups are not as frequent as the downs. Remember to take time out for yourself and do things that you enjoy. Make some time to relax.

.hmmm, because only few people like you can bear and pass them all.i think you should be happy for that.don't get me wrong,my friend.i think life is taking you as a strong person,can't you see it?as you said,one after the other,problems were trying to devour you.but then what?you defeated them.here's comes another one but no sweat to you...i'm amaze how you could manage them all.you know,all of us here do have problems and troubles.but not all have survive.it's just a matter of how you take it and face it.always dwell on the brighter side.a friends of mine gave me a book entitled " the secret". i've learned that the secret to be happy in life is to be happy with yourself.think positive.you are the one who decides what to feel,even in your saddest moment.if you decide to laugh eventhough it feels like crying,the choice is yours,right?my point is, life is simple.we are the once who makes it complicated.another thing i've learned is that,we are all connected to each other.that there is a law that connects us all,it's the law of attraction.if you think of problems,you attract it.if you think of happiness, you attract it.it's you who decide.

First of all Im sorry things arent going good for you, and there is times I feel the same way. Things have a way and ganging up on some people it seems, while to us it then seems some have things so easy. You dont say exactly what the problem is but I have learnt, there is only so much you can do to work things out and stressing 24-7 isnt going to make it better or make it go away. You do what you can and hope that all will fall into place sooner or later and hopefully sooner then later. I really try to keep in mind that there is worse off people then me. I know some say that is just a bogus statement but I use it and not to say that I still dont get to where Im saying, "Why us"? But when I start thinking about how it could be worse it does make me feel better.

i am so sorry to hear about your problems. some times it just seems the whole world is against you. some times you are lucky enough to have resolved one before the other crops up. other times they just come altogether. guess some of us are just tougher than others. i've seen quite a few cases where the person literally crawl into a corner and wait to die. they totally give up on even trying to resolve the problem. i'm glad to hear that you are not one of them. if one's life is problem-free, it kind of seem meaningless doesn't it? imagine waking up and not knowing what to do with yourself? cheers ;p

don't you dare ever give up! life is a series of challenges thrown at us. some of us just get the shorter end of the stick. some times it's really disheartening to see others having a life like a bed of roses. we just have to rise to the challenges. positive thinking does help you feel better about the problems. just come to mylot when it feels like the whole world is against you and you might feel better. at least that's what i do as i know i will find support here. cheers and take good care of yourself. ;p

you see, you do not see the whole world. many people are there in this world who can not make upto two square meals a day. that way i think you are far too lucky. so have faith in god. also, the more number of times gold is put in the fire, the more purer it becomes. maybe all the tests in your life are to refine you. have patience

Problem are the ones that makes our life even more interesting, even though sometimes we think it never ends and the problem that we're facing will be the end of us. Actually, problem will never end until the end of time. Facing the problems, overcoming it and although we if fail to overcome our problems that what makes us human. Sometimes we see that people are free but we don't know for sure that they don't have any problems. Maybe they're hiding it or they're facing their problems in a positive way.everybody has their problems, everybody has their own fights. It's just up to us how are we going to face our problems. For me, asking the elder generations for help in my problem is one of the best way to solve problems because most of the problems have already been faced by them. So, lastly, be positive and optimistic in life.Life will be easier that way. :) smile always.

Circumstances keep on changing and same circumstances don't stay for long. We should try to face difficult circumstances calmly. When we face difficulties in our life we all tend to think that we are victimized but actually we can learn a lot from difficult circumstances. There is no need to loose hope because if you loose hope you are a looser. Fight the circumstances and see how they change with time.

I also used to think that If i face it boldly, it will vanish after few days, but the problems seem never ending. more so that how hard i try and again that same thing plus few nw problems appear. sometimes 3-4 problems at a time makes me really hard to manage the affairs.

I don't think anyone is free from troubles in their lives. We all have our own fair share. I like to remind myself that my problems are no greater than anyone elses. Take one step at a time. You can't fix everything or everyone all at the same time.

I don't know if you ever heard about the law of karma. Maybe you should do some research about it and it will certainly explain how to deal with your life so that it seems better than it actually is. Some people are tested because they need to go through all this so as to reach new levels in life. Everyone has their own difficulies, just try to read about he law of karma and i hope it will help you better understand :) P.s Take the problems as challenges. Fight them back :)

It's good you take them as challenges. You know sometimes challenges make you a stronger person. Also you should think positive. Positive thoughts will attract positive vibrations and events. When you wake up every morning, just say: Today's gonna be a great day! Am gonna kick every bad thing that comes to me and be the champion. (Imagine you are on a boxing ring and you have to get the gold medal...) I really hope am of some help here :)

I too often feel the sometimes unbearable weight of problem after problem. Coming at me like sort of torturous wave of unending misery and stress. I find solace in the fact that this is all just a temporary condition and the day will come when I can finally spend eternity with my savior Jesus.

I'm sorry you've had to deal with so many bad things. But believe me everybody has bad/horrible issues they have to deal with everyday. It's those issues that make us stronger in the end. Sure you feel like it can't possibly get any worse..it may or it may not. But in the end of it you'll have conquered it. That will be something to smile about. God doesn't give us anything that we can't handle. Just have faith that there's light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe..try focusing on the good that's in your life. Take a break from all the negative. Relax, hang out with those who make you laugh and do the things you enjoy. Life is too short to constantly be worrying about all the bad.

I'm sorry you feel like you can't handle anymore. But I know you can. Life can be very difficult, heartbreaking and painful beyond belief. But there is always a new day, a new sun. Embrace the good things, even if they seem far and between. Take small baby steps when you've got alot on your plate. Take a long peaceful walk to help clear your head. Things will get better.

Don't get discouraged because I believe everything that happens in our life has purpose. God gave you that problems becasue he knows you can handle it. Maybe God just wanted you to talk with him regularly. Your try to surrender everything to him and he will do the rest. Lift up to God all the problems you have. Everybody has problems, I too have. Be strong!
