Well, same as you.. i also have a lot of problems.. But its not a personal problem but a family problem.. Everyday I'm always finding a solution on how to solve my problem but I find it difficult to solve it and the more it just make my head ache.. So, in order for me not feel headaches and not being so stress I stop thinking all of our problems and think all the happiest moments and positive things that can enlighten my day and able to relax my mind.. Thinking about solutions isn't bad because it only means that you were trying your best to solve it but too much thinking can depress you and have you so much stress and you might able to forget your health and how to be happy.. The best thing to be able to forget it is "not to think of it".. Just relax your mind. Do something that might enlighten your day like hanging out your friends, watched comedy movies or your favorite movies, play sports, or even read books.. Just relax and keep your mind full of positive things so that it lessen the burdens and able to continue your life and most of able to be strong to face all the possibilities that might come in your life..

Thats a lot of problem! Anyway, I think you have to face one problem at a time. If you want, you can write it on a journal. Identify what are the things that has been bothering you. If these problems are within your control or you have the capability to solve it, then go ahead. If not, then let it go and let God. Just make sure you will realize the lessons God wants you to learn.

You need to face your problem not to forget it, try to solve it one at a time. Seek help from family or relatives financially, if you are facing financial problem for your school and apartment. For school, even you have problems, you need to keep going to school and try to focus your mind in your studies so that you won't failed. Don't try to escape from problem as it become worst. Friends and family around you will help if you asks for it. And always put smile on your family and wacth movie

thanks a lot. and sorry for the late reply. i was taking your advice then. taking and solving each problem or problems one at a time. everyday, i cling on the grace of the Lord for me.. it is not easy to be facing this giants in my life. sometimes and most often, i would run away from it.. but the Lord is making and molding me into a soldier. which means to face each challenges everyday... hmmm. not an easy task to be doing..

Uhm. To forget my problems, I try to resolve them so I won't have to think about it anymore and bask in the pleasure of having them resolved. It really doesn't help letting problems build up.. I try not to think about them no matter how serious. If I can't take it anymore, I try to be alone and sort out things in my head. If it helps, I try to approach someone just to make me feel better.

thank you.. and i guess, i have to do the same. in fact i am doing it too. though it is really hard. it is not easy, especially when the problem is with relationship. it is just so hard. right now, i am fearful still to go to our apartment. the person is there. and for days now, we had not talk.. and i guess this would continue for long. i just don't get it still. trying to be still in the midst of the storm is hard. but each day is an opportunity for me to draw closer to the Lord.. this time, though i am lonely i am always assured that what is happening is in accordance with His will. though this is part of the discipline i get for a very disobedient life.. hehe.. thanks..

Don't try to forget your problems and burdens. Maybe that's not a rational way to deal with all the problems and burden. Calm down. Then manage to clear out all one by one. What's the real problems with your friends or family or youself? What's the most urgent? What's the most important matter to you? Then try to solve the probems which is most urgent. Pls don't try to escape from all the problems and burdens because they'll be there all the time if you forget them this time.

thank you.. honestly, when problems hit me, it is like i wanted to escape and run away from it. especially with regards to relationship. i find the security in a stable relationship and open communication. but then,the Lord shake it. and this time, i had proven it out that the Lord would really shake everything until there is no fortress to cling on to but Him alone.. it is not easy. it is like i am playing the antagonist in the situation.. it is hard. in every workplace i am in, there are those persons who would really test you or me..

..first of all, a problem becomes a real problems when you look at it that way.. truly that life is not simple.. full of difficulties.. however, trey to teach yourself to see the positive and bright side of those problems.. try to face them one by one.. Try not to be stressed by your difficulties because you can't have the right decisions if you are overcome by your problems.. Weigh your problems.. Don't look too deep at it.. you may ask yourself, why would you consider those things as problems? what does it causes you? have a little time alone and refresh your mind and heart.. most of all, you pray.. remember, God gives us a rainbow after the rain and the sun is shining beyond the thick clouds.. don't lose hope.. be positive.. try to smile.. life is beautiful after all..

I can offer no better advice than to remind you of the following: 1 Peter 5:6-11 (New International Version) 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
