trying to enjoy life is so hard

Try some positive thinking, I know it is very hard right now. But even with the bad, there has to be SOME good. Atleast you have your wife.... If this doesnt work, then try denial

enjoying life is really hard because if we had even just one good moments there will be 10 more ready to destroy your day :( even though life is really hard we should try to thrive :D

in life, we can experience happiness and trials. i think what you are experiencing right now is just a challenge that later on you can overcome. remember that God doesn't give us trials that we cannot overcome. sometimes, other people have bigger problems than yours. its a matter of how you treat those problems. you should find the brighter side of your problem...and don't take it as a burden but a challenge that will make you stronger through time and when the day comes that you will encounter such problems again, you will be able to overcome it smoothly. there are many ways to enjoy life. money doesn't make the world go round. the fact that your wife is at your side, life is enjoyable because your not alone.

I've been in a situation before where it seems like the problem is non- stop. If I never stopped worrying too much I might have ended up in a mental ward. I consider it the darkest hour of my life. I thought I would never ever be able to recover and surpass that part of my life. However, everything still turned out fine in the end. What I did was I thought of positive things. Whenever the bad things that are happening around me are trying to flash in my mind I immediately think of good things and happy memories. I also tell my self that it's juts a phase I'm going through and it would be over soon. Now, that phase of my life is over and I'm glad. However, I know that there will be more challenges I need to face. That's why I'm always ready for it and I'm not afraid to face it. Stay positive... I do hope everything would eventually turn out right.

dont try to enjoy the life..!! just feel the life and you will enjoy it..!!

All the negatives coming in our life should be treated as positive or a chance to prove that God wants us to learn something. Like in your case I could say patience on lords trust for his blessing. Do the right thing and always worship him.

Try to enjoy life minute by minute. Have a nice cup of coffee or glass of iced tea, and appreciate just the minute or two with your wife. It is hard in this economy, and then to have the bank make your situation worse is disheartening, and you want to take care of your wife. You may find that doing some online business will be your best solution to your money problem, because then you can stand or sit as you need to. Will the restrictions ever be lifted for your back and your neck?

you have to do things that are fun that are within reason. i only work part time due to health issues and my hubby was off work for 9 months and found a job where he earns much less than he used to. sometimes i feel like you but i try to do things like visit the library (which is free here) and the like.

I am sorry that is all happening to you. I hope things get better. I think that life can sometimes be hard, that is why I think we have to grab at and enjoy the few good things that come our way. I think in this ecoomy many of us are too tense and too worried about finding, jobs, having jobs and keeping jobs that we are too afraid to do fun things and enjoy our lives. I think sometimes we just have to say the heck with it and do some fun things here and there. I hope you are able to find a job soon.

Ey, dear. You're situation isn't that bad.Sure thing that you are having a rough times right now, but as alwsays there is a way to get through it. Just hold on there, buddy. This misery which seems endless will eventually end. Keep your faith alive.... God bless you.

I know this feeling only to well and completely understand the feeling of know knowing how to enjoy even being inside my own skin. A member here the other day posted a response to one of my posts which made me think a bit different. Which is to accept our new found life. Although life will never be the same and I may never be the happy person I once was I realize I must be grateful to God for allowing me to remain healthy and be content with what little I have. So friend I cannot give further words of comfort only to say that I can completely understand that although you will fight against all odds to try and be happy life beats up in a way that it isn't quite possible. Be blessed my friend and have some faith that each day you at least accept that it is what is and all we do is continue to be optimistic that life should get easier. Be well.

Best bet is to keep a cool head about it and to think about the bright side of things.Over a billion people on this planet live on less that a dollar a day and each day its a struggle just to be able to eat , even if that is a slice of bread.Living in such a free country is a blessing and even though times are tough now with the economic downfall we are still better off than most on this planet.When you access your current situation just ask yourself , it could always be much worse than this.

Hello, Syankee, i can understand your wife perfectly. It's because we are ready to make self-sacrifice in every time for the people we love. Also some people say that women makes long care for themselves, but that's not sure. If we have to make the choice which one of us both (woman or man) to be in more dangerous situation we will always choose that one to be us (the women). That's not because we are more good people, or more love the other, it's just a part of us to save the people we love - instinct. The same part, which is trying to save our kids alive, or in good health. That doesn't talk bad for the men. I got the same problem with my man at home. He got kidney stones and he can't do nothing at home. He always wish, but i don't allow him, because i know that everything he will do, will be done with large pains. I want to save him that feeling, because i can imagine what is it. In this difficult time we live, it's very hard one person to live calm. I can't even imagine that kind of life, without stress. And i'm sure that people, who has more money, got their own problems to care about. So ... i don't know what to say, or what advice to give, i don't like to give advices, but find some art or something like that, natural and pure, which will help for your fight with the stress. I know what is life without money. I know what is it, when the banks are trying to make you their servant. We live the same way here and the thing we do is to think only for today, because if you don't have money to fill your fridge or to pay your pills, all your life is screwed...

i can relate the recession over here in UK has hit hardest in construction and i've not held down a job for nearly 2yrs now. had a good job, broke both my arms playing on my sons petrol powered scooter board and whilst in plaster the recession hit, no job to go back to, 20000 bricklayers layed-off nationwide. doing the housework and sorting the boys pack-lunch for school isn't the same as going out and earning

True that some instances that happens in our life make it seems so hard to enjoy life as it is but these struggles and life challenges makes life worth living and even make happiness more sweet when attained rather than having a less complicated life wherein our strenght can't be assessed nor our capabilities be measured. These things that seems to hinder us from having the full happiness is just a reminder that we are human with limitations and with these limitations we need SOMEONE who can help us, SOMEONE who is always there... just waiting for a call. Isnt it that the distance of the floor from our knees is not that wide and can easily be joined together to make a short prayer saying to GOD that we need HIM not just during these difficult times but every moment of our lives. HAVE A BLESSED DAY TO EACH OF US!
