I'd like to believe that all of us have problems in life. Some days are better and some days are bad. Right now, we are financially broke. It so difficult to imagine. We have a business but it's going down. And too sad to realize that when things like this happens your friends are no where to be found. I understand though, maybe they have their own share of bad times too. How about you? Do you have problems now that you think it's making you feeling down? That you think it's the end of the world and you can't recover again? Wanna share? I just want to vent too...

I often feel down when I see that there are bad things going on in the world, but sooner or later I will remember how lucky I am. Whenever I feel down at the moment, I choose to go out and do some exercise as it makes me feel a lot better about both myself and the situation in general. Exercise allows endorphins to be released into the brain meaning that feel a lot happier both during and immediately after a workout. I spend at least an hour each day exercising, and I wouldn't have it any other way now because it just makes me feel a lot better in general.

I'm happy that you found your way out whenever you have problems in life. That's good! At least you have a good strategy to deal with stress. Yes, I agree with you exercise can make your muscles relax after a while and then helps your blood to circulate well. Thus, make you feel better in and out.

I am having problem in life like others people. But i think as long as there is problem in life , i am alive.
I learned keeping patience in danger/problem. Never give-up hope. Giving up hope is a sin. I practice meditation thus feel mental tranquility . You may try that also.

Yes parumalu, problems make us human. It reminds us that we are still alive and we need to deal with it to survive. I hope everyone will keep their faith and hope to overcome all the trials in life. Yeah, meditation is good. I've tried that too. It provide us inner peace and wellness. Thanks!

I also have found this out never expect your friends to be around when you need them the most. We are going through about the same thing right now, we saw the roofing business go down from 3 houses a month now down to a few leaks a month. In one way I hope for a hurricane this year just so there will be tons of work. On the other hand, I dont want to see a hurricane because it could damage my own home.
Everyone has problems, this is why I plan on making a back up plan for next year. Even if I can add an extra $50 a month to my regular income it will help not much but some.

Hi pmbhuntress! I understand you, sometimes we can wish of something that is not appropriate because we are so desperate to earn a living. I know we are not given problems we can't bear. I hope it's really that way.$50 extra a month is not that good if your expenditures are also in dollars but if it is converted in my currency it is already good. I wish you well!

Hello aloha! You are not alone. I am having problems also. I guess we all are. But I don't believe this will not be solve. I believe these are all trials from God.And He won't give us problems we can't bear. I hope you will have solutions to your problems very soon. Please have faith in God. He is all good. He knows everything we've been through. He is just waiting for us to call unto Him. God bless!

i know how u feel. i am always in that kind of situation.
When i am in that situation normally i don't reach out with friends, im scared to be rejected again and again. Friends never know when im emotionally down nor seeing me crying. When im in that situation i just pray, pray and pray, and also i get pen and paper to write my feelings, that helps a lot too.
Hope what ever you are right now just pray to God and tell HIM everything how you feel God will guide you what to do.
The best help to call is God.
