It's hard to stay positive..

I know the feeling and yes it is hard to be positive when everything is fails. But being negative about it could only worsen the situation. Best thing to do is stay positive. There are lots of books about being positive that you read to help you and inspired you. That’s what I do sometimes when I’m in the dark and could not the see light. I just read an inspiring book just to feel light and be inspired that there is still tomorrow.

Been there myself! You hang in there and try to see the rays of sunshine! Things will get better. Sending hugs your way.

Hi, I know it's hard to be positive on things, when it seems that nothing is going right. But think of it this way, you're so blessed that after you had an accident, you are still alive. You survived your surgery. regarding your best friend, there might just be a misunderstanding. You need to talk to her to settle things out. Point is, there is much more to life, more blessings than problems. Problems are there to keep us stronger. To challenges us. it's up to you if you will give in to it. Just stay strong, and think that you are more blessed. Count your blessings!

Hi, i know how you feel coz I had been in that situation too and I could not say that I am this positive, at least I am trying my best to be as positive as I can. If you are feeling low, then let yourself feel that, if you are sad, then be sad, give your self some break sometime, I did not say that forget all your problems, what I mean is, recharge..Whenever I get low, I am sometimes very pessimistic, I am trying to figure out the consequences of my decisions on what will I be if I do this or do that. Are you still in medication with your lungs? Do you know how complicated it is? What happened to your school? Didn't they know that you had an accident? Did you do something wrong to your best friend before you had an accident? As i see, you have lots of problems and they are all difficult. Prioritize things first, if you need a rest to cure your lungs, then do it first, if you get well soon,then solve the next problem. Face them one at a time. It doesn't matter if your life has been shattered what matters is how you will fix it. I had been through a lot in life, and I will share a little secret: pray, have faith, be strong, believe in yourself, feel your pain, think with your head. Hope you will feel better.

All things work on energy such as with positive and negative energy. I have a mental trick which may help you. When the negative energy thoughts come into to my mind I push them out by telling myself there is no room for negative energy in my life. Over time this response will become automatic and you will have a more positive outlook even in very difficult situations. Positive energy breeds more positive energy and negative energy breeds more negative energy. It is ultimately your choice which you would rather have. Yes, this does take effort but it is well worth it. Like kindness is contagious or laughter what have you so is positive energy. The Universe has a way of matching up the energies of like minded people and circumstances.

Hello mylotting friends!!! Everyone passes through difficult times in our everyday life. When you think that nothing is going in the good direction just think about the people you love and think about people who are worse than you, like those who have nothing to eat. Happy mylotting!!!

After all that you have been through, I would not blame you for not being able to stay positive. It is not your fault that you have been through so much, and you feel like life has gotten the best of you right now. I know how you are feeling. I have had a lot of horrible things happen to me as well, but I just have to stay strong. I am the only remaining child that my mother has left. My mother had Bell's Palsy when my brother passes away, and a few months ago, the poor woman has Skin Cancer. Next thing you know. I have the cyst from Hell, and I have to get it removed. I have my moments where I just want to throw in the towel, but then I see that life still has a lot to offer, and I keep going.

I will try to add words that can help you. Staying positive is not a thing we should try to do... it must come off its own. Of course, actually you need to try to do until it comes off its own. My mom got such a very great thing in her, being positive comes off its own - she is never discturbed by a single thing, I just wonder how the limits!! And she can still stay unperturbed! I keep trying that, but I do lose temper and lost myself when I am Angry ... I am in DANGER when I have ANGER! lol... see the words - D added to ANGER. Anyways, well, in the beginning it still seems that there couldn't be anything positive in this, but if you can stay positive and try and search for the reason, you ofcourse get the reason as to why that happened. And if your mind can be enough ready to accept this foolish statement, then do it, since it helps a lot, but rationally, its foolish - "Everything happens for good, let me not weep for the shoes I don't have, since there are people who don't have legs!" Was your surgery successful? Best friend has not resented from being your friend? You defintely survived the car crash? You weren't in such a condition so as to be expelled from the school? Or it wasn't that you were badly humiliated in school for the wrong things, that you have lost all your friends? These things happen with people and what you might not have suffered, many have suffered, so if you try to keep that in mind, you can have a great help off those thoughts. Even I try to stay postive. Have nice time!

I understand what you're trying to point out.. I also experienced before the way as you.. It seems that the world are so mad at me since I felt that all the problems in this world are in my hand but at least no matter how I put myself down and think that I can't solve it still there are many people who always give me a hand to stand up and face my problems.. I also tried my best to think positive but sometimes the more I find hopeless and the more I feel bad because in all the positive things that I'm thinking, it always comes the opposite way.. So, sometimes I'm telling myself to think negative so that it maybe turn into positive.. I'm just so lucky that I have friends who always cheer me up when they saw me that I'm sad.. They were always there for me when I need them.. They never leave me no matter how cruel the world is.. I'm very lucky to have my boyfriend because in all the difficulty that I have in my life, he is always there for me and he is the one who I get strength to face the world... I'm just really lucky to have them.. Well, I think try to open your eyes and see that there are many people who were trying to help you.. Maybe you just didn't able to see it but I know there are so many people wants to help you.. Just keep on fighting all the problems that may come in your life.. Because someday you will be happy more that you expected..

I do understand. I have a very sad personal situation with a close family member that has been going on for 10 years, it made me sad everyday. But after awhile I woke up to the realization that no one BUT ME controls my happiness. So when I realized that my world changed. We can not control the actions of others but we can control how we react to it. But after I gave up and thought the situation might never resolve itself, this weekend a small step was made that may change things. So you just never know, one day things will get better when you least expect it.

Hey there, I went through a similiar period recently and believe me, there IS light at the end of the tunel. What you should do is taking small steps to solve your problems. Reallly small steps. Get small things going and pat yourself in the back everytime you achieve something. Today I am much better than I was when I got really mentally unstable. Nowadays I regularly eat my anti-depressants and focus on the job at hand and not think of the future too much. Good Luck ^^

Aw it sounds like you're really having a rough time of it! I hope you are ok health wise now though, or at least on the mend! It doesn't seem useless at all i think we all feel like this sometimes! I am feeling really negative now too, it's lots of little things that are making one big problem, sometimes they can just get too much to cope with. You and your friend will sort things out, if you don't know what she is mad about then i doubt it can be anything that serious, girly friends are always falling out but you'll make up in the end. Do you have any other friends or are you close to your family, sometimes something as simple as a hug and a little support so you know you are not alone can make you feel a lot better! I really hope things start to look up soon, try to keep smiling, when you smile people smile back and that always make you feel a little better, but don't suffer on your own, family and friends are there to help us through the bad times as well as be there for the good! xvx

Normally, we have that feelings.. In some cases these feelings sometimes make us down because we are not positive in our mind, the negative thoughts inside will sometimes control us. To eliminate negative thoughts, you have to be positive instead..

Surely, you are still young and have so much future in life. Remember that life is full of ups and downs. Maybe you are just in your downside only at this time. But, you need to help your self inorder to regain your faith that things will be alright eventually. Just think that you are more blessed than others. You will not be given such problems that you can't handle. God is good. Sorry not familiar with your religion but whatever your religion is - faith still prevails. There's always a bright tomorrow waiting for you. I just recently saw the dvd of "the secret" if you can get a copy of that dvd it will surely help you. Good luck and stay positive. Life is beautiful afterall.

I totally understand!! Last week was a very bad week for me with alot of things going wrong or at least not the way I had planned. It is difficult to stay positive when you are having a lot of things go wrong at once. I have found that having faith things will get better tomorrow keeps me in high spirits. Even at my lowest, I know things will get better when the Lord feels I have learned whatever He is wanting me to learn. Have a great day! Things will get better. Everything happens for a reason and the Lord will not give you more than you can handle.
