Life is just not easy at all when we encounter storm after storm in life.There are times you can solve the problem after a while but there are times you still have to face the problem again and again. When you face times like this, it is difficult for you to feel happy in such a moment.It is so nice if you can find someone in your family to share your problem with them. However, there are times you just feel that you can share your problem to nobody and you still have to face the tough times again and again. What will you do when you face times like this.Share with us.

When I face a problem that I can't deal with I usually pray to God for guidance. He will always show me the way. This is why I pray twice a day. When I first awake and again before I go to sleep. When you put the problem in God's hand it usually works itself out. I find that people who don't have God in their life have alot more problems and bad karma then thoses who have him in their hearts. I hope this helps you in some way.

I agree with Lenlin. I am at my wits end because this place is full of wasps and hornets. Yesterday I was on the computer and a wasp found its way into my room. So I got upset and decided to go on the porch and look for the nests. My uncle didn't finish putting the door up and so I have quilts and bedspreads over the door. So I took the quilts and bedspreads off the door and lo and behold!there was a little wasp nest on the inside of my door! So I knocked the nest off and threw it outside. Then I struggled to move the door and went outside and found a big wasps nest and sprayed it. Then I knocked it to the ground. Today, I went into the kitchen and there was a wasp. I think it was trying to make a nest in my kitchen. I don't know where it is. So praying to God and hanging in there is all I can do. I just got a job and start work tomorrow. My back door will not lock correctly and someone can break in. So I don't feel safe leaving home. This is a story I can write some day. I know other people have it worse. So I just have faith in God and keep working so I can get out of here. The positive thing is that I keep getting my stories accepted by magazines.

Hey Rob. Congratulation for your new job and hope that you will always enjoy your new job and receive more blessing from God.Hey, I did pray for you by the time I knew that you want a job and I ma sure that there were many people pray for you too and to God be the glory.Anyway, it is not easy to live in this world and thank God that we can always count on him in difficult time. I think it is good to share our unhappiness with anybody we can share with rather than pretend that we are always in the peak of the spiritual mountain at all times.I do agree with lenlin about God (and I assume that lenlin didn't know that I am a Christian too). I don't like people who act super spiritual and try to minimize others problem by just quote a Bible verse or so. I prefer others to see my problem as a problem and try to pray with me about that.I think God's real is not perform miracle and help us through every single times with an immediate act all the times (although He can and he will most of the times). However,there are times we still have to go through some waiting period before we can see our prayer answered and that's the unhappy times that we need to go through. Anyway, it is good to know that you have a new job and I think your finance problem will be over soon as long as you have a job. Have a good day and happy mylot.

I try to find a way to take my mind off of the things that are going on. Right now, I am dealing with unemployment and having no income, and not being able to find a job, on top of having to move back with my parents,which is pulling me down because it feels as if I am going further behind. I never had the greatest support system behind me since most people criticize or ridicule, or brag about how much further they are than me--- pretty much stomp on a person when they are down. I don't need that. So I have been concentrating on improving my studies at school since I am near graduation. I have been working on a plan to move from where I am because there is nothing here to want me to stay. Also, to occupy my time, I have been working on a project of writing a novel, that I have put off for a while due to school and work, which I have been writing like crazy lately. It would be funny that no one wants to hire me, but I successfully publish a book. I have ben doing a lot of things alone lately since it is easier for me to stay away from the negative energy that is weighing me down. What I am finding out however, is how strong I really am. My mind is running at a 100 mph. Just writing things like mad. Jotting down all kind of thoughts. I have been looking through information like I have never have been before. Working on some new ideas. Also, being back at my parents house, I have helped them with some things. I managed to carry a refrigerator out of the house for bulk pickup, pulled a car out of the garage to donate to charity, and because it was in my way, picked up a riding lawn mower to move it (this kid is strong). I try to find ways to channeling strength to help me get by. The stronger I get, everything and everyone will seem smaller. Well, speaking of strength, one of my projects is lifting weight to blow off steam, and to channel strength, which will mean that literally everyone and everything will be getting smaller.

Now, I won't go to the extent of saying that my life is full of unhappiness, but I will say that this chapter of my life is something that is fully of uncertainty and confusion. This has been only the second time in my life that I have felt this way about how things are going. It is during these times in my life that I really turn to my friends and family so that I will have someone that I can talk to. It has really been a blessing to me that one of my old friends has come back into my life in the last few months.

Life has its unhappy moments but you don't really need to drag it all the way through your whole life. If there's a bright side, look at it. I assure you, it will change your perspective most of the time.

The most important thing is belief in oneself and the attitude of never give up. Life definately is tough and we encounter numerous problems in our day to day life. Many of these problems are hard to solve and we often end up being unhappy as we are not able to find a solution. However we should not give up on things like these because no matter how hard the problem there will always be a solution for it. Life is full of ups and downs, happiness and sorrows but it is up to us as to how we manage it. Happiness does not always last forever, so is the case with sorrows. One day they will surely vanish and happiness will come back. So have a positive attitude in life and always hope for the best..

Hi wildlittlefan, Its a bitter truth of life, where we have to face good stage and bad stages of life. Sometimes problems knock us down, i would say try to cheat the heart and mind that nothing unhappy has happened. That way we can get little energy to get up back. When mind and heart takes the problems, its hard to come out of it. Life is short, no one gonna enjoy full life or suffer full life. Seeing the good at the bad problems and seeing the bad at good times, will help us balance any situations.

In times when difficulty cross my path and that I couldn't bear it anymore, I used to get a piece of paper and write all the words that I want to shout out. Then after that, I will pray to God for guidance. I lift up to God the problems that I cannot bear anymore. I sometimes confide my problems to some friends but the best way to confide it is to pray to HIM for enlightenment, guidance and ask help. In this way, I could move on to my life and will not lose hope.

When I feel down, I usually remember what my grandfather told me. "even when the going gets tough, and there seems no end to it, God will find a way to pull you out"

I had many bad situation in my life. When I came to this world nobody was happy about my birth, no one was waiting for me with joy. Later my family was poor and we lost our house. Then I promised myself that I will do everything to change my life for better. Later I came to the new country and after three years of being here I had accident witch left me disable and I know that to the rest of my life I would have problems with walking. So many time I was crying and cursing myself and my life but I have never given up. I have my partner, my job and my life. Maybe life wasn't fair for me and there was the time that I had to end everything up. When I have bad time I always telling myself that I need to keep going, that I have so many things to do.

Sometimes we really need to suffer difficulties in life because this makes us a better and more stronger person.Sometimes we felt that we don't have anybody that would help us when we are down. when I face this feelings and difficuties I just tell myself that I am still lucky because others don't have what I have. I just learn to count my blessings instead of counting have many times I suffered.And also I learned that problems is like a taxi or train that will just passed by but will never stay.

Times like this there's no way to go but JESUS! Pray hard. Meditate, ask always guidance from the Holy Spirit but still if I can't bear the pain I really need to find someone to talk to in the church.

Just a question.. Is being lonely something uncontrollable or is it just something you decide on? Whenever I feel unhappy, I try to keep myself busy. I meet new people. During those times that I really can't rely on anyone, I want to meet new people, go to different places. I join several tours without knowing anyone. That way I keep my mind with something other than depressing thoughts to think about. If you really want to fight off unhappiness, I think you can do it.

Right I am going through something like that right now. I am pretty much keeping to myself. I don't want to tell anyone because it is the same crap with me! In the past people have gotten sick of me telling the same thing! Some people refuse to talk to me anymore about it and some are to busy to listen to me! So I keep to myself! Right now it deals with my weight and I won't talk about it! It is nothing new! It has been a problem all my life and I am even gotten sick of at times! Until I can afford hyponois this will not change! That is my unhappiness!

I will still make my life happy even if unhappiness is all around. I will go to friends, relatives or just walking. It is also impossible for a person to live all her life unhappily. Life in itself is really full of struggles but it is the initiative of the person to find what makes her happy. Problems are here on earth to make us stronger and happy at the same time anyway. Happy because you are able to solve it.

when there is night, there is day. when there is darkness, there is light. when there is sadness, there is happiness. problems spices our life, causing us to think right or wrong, persevere or give up, rational or irrational, but the mere fact that seeing what you have at hand is a sign of being aware and hopefully having an answer or solution. asking or seeking for advice is the best option, but in the end it's your call, the decision or choice is rested upon ourselves, and on that light, answering your question, i think it is more of how strong you need to be to face adversities and trying to hold on to your sanity to think right, feel right and do right.

I would rather face the unhappiness by myself than having others suffer the same pain with me. I won't let them face and feel the pain like I did. Yes, it is hard but there is no one could understand better the situation than our ownself. But I agree that for some people they need someone to share the pain and the happy time together. Whenever I face the tough time, I know it is a test from God so seek guidance and help from him and analyze the problem to find the solutions. It is a good practice to solve problem by my own so I don't have to always rely myself on others or always seek for their help.

I get to think about a solution, then forget about it, if I think about the problem for too long I get stressed and do not rationalize well anymore, so relax and think, relax and think about the problem again. If alone the one thing I most want to do is to solve this as soon as possible.

Nothing is impossible with God. So, when i am faced with a repetitive problem, i would analyze it as to why it is so. Then, i would make a strategy on how to be able to solve them and offer them to God. God may not approve of it, but would make ways on how it could be solved.
