Hi friends, we all know life is full of worries and problems.....here on mylot we are a big family........I thought why not speak a bit about your problems (not details) and feel a bit lighter by sharing them. So lets talk about the one most severe problem that you are facing right now. As for me....right now I am in a big debt....and all the time I am worried about how to get rid of it.........If you feel free and are willing to share yours...please do.....you may feel better after talking about it.....Thanks..

my problem is also debt.. im in debt because of gambling. and in order to satisfy muy addiction to gambling, i loaned money from illegal loan sharks. my situation is like this, i borrowed money from loan shark A to settle my gambling debt, so this leaves me in debt with loan shark A. And within a few months, i loaned money from another loan shark, which i would call loan shark B. the money i loaned from loan shark B is to clear my previous debt with loan shark A. the problem now is, i lose my money which is intended to pay for my monthly installments from my loan with loan shark B. and i lose it also from gambling. what im trying to say here is, debt is somehow drawing you into bigger debts. try not to be in debt when we can or we will eventually end in a bigger debt than our 1st one. just a thought.. :)

oh my God........oh no.......from where did you get into this habit of gambling.......I am shocked.....you are in such a mess now........what will you do now.......first of all you have to stop gambling......you have to swear that you will never gamble again, only then you can find some way to earn money and sincerely try to get rid of this debt.
I assume that you are a bachelor and do not have any family responsibilities on your shoulders.And if I am right then you have to be brave and start earning money , working hard, and pay off all your debts....nothing is impossible....if you will work hard you can do it....I am also working hard....God always blesses hard workers. so do try sincerely to do some honest work and never gamble again.May God give you strength to make right decision

Hi soulpatrol84, Better get rid of this habit of gambling because it can ruin your whole life. My husband was sailing in the same boat as you. As a result of which I am suffering today. Some of the loan sharks harrased me so much that I had to finally borrow from banks and repay these loans to save my life and those of kids. As a result today half my salary is going in repaying these bank loans for which in my free time I work online for my expenses. Better stop this gambling habit immediately.

its a tough habit to break, and yes, im a bachelor and half of my salary goes to the installments i pay every month. i really regret getting involved in gambling. im not trying to give credit to myself, but im indeed a hard worker. but a wrong turn in life had made me come to the point of helplessness.. but no problem is too big too handle.. may god bless me and all of us in finding the correct path.. :)

Hi aps!
Life is full of problems. Not even a single day passes peacefully or without facing any big or small problem.
Sharing our problems with others surely make us feel lighter and less burdened.
To repay the debt or loan amount, is a real big headache.
I am not sure what compelled you to take the loan which now you are unable to pay.
However, you have to repay it at any cost.
You could repay the loan in small instalaments, if at all it is permitted and feasible for you.
If I take a short term loan, I try to repay it as soon as possible because interest on loan eats our pocket.
All the best.

Hi DD,
I think Deepak is right now, as you must be knowing, enjoying the glory of his much deserved success in workplace. Congratulations Deepak. And if D you allow me to add, he is the kind of person who has made his and others problems easier. I wish I could be cool and beautiful like him. Even though, right now, I am comparatively much better off than a few years earlier, still life without problem is a utopia. I am dealing with little bit of untoward problems in office. It does not directly involve me but it does affect my sanity. and I do not know what to do and how to avoid it. Still haven't learned to say no to the things I should - probably the reason why I suffer so much emotionally.
I just hope you overcome your problems soon. Please do take care of yourself. Lotsa love.

Dearest mimpi, first of all I want to thank you for coming and joining me like a real little sister.I have been missing you too.
I agree every word that you have spoken about Deepak....there is no doubt he is a wonderful person and a true friend.
It is ok mimpi.....if you have bravely faced major problems and did overcome them, then these minor problems are just nothing. You should ignore them and should not torture yourself emotionally. You will surely overcome your problems and smile. Please take care of yourself.

I think the biggest problem that I am facing is loneliness. I have been alone for quite some time and now even my kids are not visiting me. I was on anti depressants a few weeks back. The doctor had then told me to keep myself busy at home because I had too much of free time on my hands to think and brood. So now I have got myself a laptop at home and keep myself busy after office hours and holidays. If not on this site then some others. This will also help me pay off my bank loans that is also troubling me.

I can understand your pain Mayka.......soon I will be reaching the same stage.......in another few years even my kids will leave us and settle down and then we will be left alone.....How many kids you have, and what about your husband....why are you alone. Speaking about bank loans.......it really scares me.....will you be able to get rid of all the debt alone........

My hubby expired 11 years ago. Had a lot of problems after that. kids felt they were better off without me and the problems so they have gone their own way. That has left me alone with the problems that my hubby had kept back for me!!!!! I am finding it difficult to repay the bank loans all alone but there seems to be nothing that I can do. Just work harder and earn more and repay them somehow. I have some good friends who help me in their own way and that is how I am managing just now.

being alone can be really stressfull.. but its a good thing you managed to get yourself occupied and busy as it gets your mind off the bigger things.. trust me, loans can get really messy if you don't know how to manage it..

Many do it and look for a couple or more of virtual shoulders to cry on. Issues that cannot be discussed in the real world can be safely thrashed out here.

My problem is as some put it "I don't have a life." Of course everyone has a life but maybe it is not what they wanted. Is it debt, spending money, attitude, love starvation, social denial? Is it because your clothes are not up to standard, the cost to attend is just out of your price range or you don't feel comfortable with the arrangements which keeps your social life subdued. Is it one thing or everything? Or is an attitude that says, my choice is all or nothing but nothing reverts back to first sentence.
The discussion asked for a problem. I hope that was not too much in detail.

Dear Bluedoll, You said everything like saying nothing....I am confused, did not understand your problem at all.Besides, I wrote (not details) for those who may not feel comfortable to discuss, but if someone wants to talk freely about his/her problem, then he/she is welcomed.Please clarify what is your actual problem.Thanks.

Bluedoll, I think you need a break.....you should go on vacation on high hills and take deep breath in fresh air and enjoy the beautiful nature gifted by God to tired people like you and me........I think I understood your problem...it is just like mine........confused with your own self.....

My problem is closely related to yours. I wish there was more money to do things, that is all. I don't often stop at just this one focus though. The best way I can explain a "problem" is in story.
My name is Enthusiastic Cheery. "Where do you live," asks Solutions Sam the owner of the second hand shop?
In the bonks.
Where?
She means the Bonkers but she is not from there and would rather be on the other side of the tracks living in Long Story Island and so hangs her head down and mubbles.

Sorry for the lack of clarity on my part if you did not understand my meaning, the danger of writing about problems is not one of lack of detail and saying nothing but of expressing them in discussion so that the entire servers of mylot, labour from over abundance and why it might even extend to the internet to bring it down then crashing every computer in the world.- just joking on that silly thought!

Sometimes I used to post discussions about my problems and worries in life too. As this really helps release the tension and stress we feel about these difficulties and then we get to read good advises from a lot of people in myLot.
Keep working and try to get some extra income maybe online to cover for some expenses. I know that when we have debt, we tend to think about it too much. Because we also pay a lot of things like our bills, house rent if we don't live in our own house and foods and supplies.
For sure you will eventually pay all these debt.

Life is full of problems and worries indeed, but I think that the most important thing is that you have somebody who you are able to talk to about your problems, as this means that you can really talk things through and ask for the advice of other people. This means that you can get views about your problems that nobody else might have thought of, and it might help for you to be able to consider all of the options that are available to you. You should never deal with worries alone, you have plenty of friends and family who you would be able to talk to about it.

I agree with you friend that we should discuss our problems with our loved ones and that may help to bring out solutions to our problems. But when it comes to financial problems....why will anyone pay your debts........this is a problem that you have to sort out alone. What do you say.........

So, let's talk about debt, and how stressful it is to carry such a heavy burden on your shoulder. I would say the same thing. I am in big debt myself, and I was such a fool, and I was immature at every aspect of it. I didn't intend to get myself in debt at the first place, but I was foolishly in love, and I was foolishly trust my friend to start a business, and I thought that we can make some money from it. After all, it was all my imagination, and I only fool myself from it.

same with me kingparker, I too , foolish and immature,dump headed, I hate myself for making such blunder mistakes in life, but what to do , as they say making mistakes proves that we are humans and not God.. We have created this problem and only we will have to find our way out from this.......lets be strong and face it more like challenge and less like problem.Best of luck to both of us.

I am also facing problems and worries in my life. Every human being have to face a problem in their life. but dont feel sad or cry. you must face the problem and think how to come out of it. Any problem has a remedy . problem is the step to lift in our life. if there is no problem anybody will not think about God. One who face problem he is always pray the God to help them to come out of that problem.

Dear apsara60,
Thank you for this topic.
Personally, I learned to use the word "Challenge" instead of a "problem"..
After going through all the posts on here; PLEASE, try to think of any situation that is facing you as a challenge!
I have been doing this for the past 3 years, and YES it works.
The secret is in how you look at things; for example losing a job for some people it is the worst thing that can happen, for others it is One door closed and they get ready/search for another door to open ;)
This is not easy at first, but ask yourself what will you lose if you look at situations you face in life as challenges and the way you respond/act on it will define your future :).
Roll those sleeves and attack your challenges.
All the best,
Growin.

Dear GroWin,
I really liked your attitude and your presentation....
You are right........lets treat problem like challenge and challenge like enemy and start the war...... Your reply has really given me new strength and here after I will try to think more positively rather than crying negatively.....Thank you very much for your bright reply.
With regards.

There are problems everywhere and there will always will be. It depends, for instance, where you work, how much people you know, what worries do you have and etc. Even living is a problem, when you get up you start to think what is your daily routine is. You work hard and in most cases you are under paid. The important thing is that you need to get up and face your problems that is the key.

i'm facing a problem right now..my younger didn't speak to me for a couple weeks already..i can feel we're having a gap now..and i don't understand why..maybe because he misunderstood our last conversation and considered it as an argument..but for me, it was just a healthy conversation for grown ups like us..i tried to talk to him..but he just keeps on avoiding me..

I wish these children could understand how much it hurts parents when they behave so rude with them. I too face this problem with my son sometimes. He is 20 years old.It really surprises me to see how children change with age and time. All that I can say is that you should leave him alone for some time.....only time will tell you what should be your next step. If he comes back to you....then you can think that you did not waste your life after your children .....and if he does not care for you anymore, then you should ask God, WHAT HAPPENED???????GOD WHY IS HE TORTURING ME........

Personally there will always be problems of some sort in a persons life at one time or another. We all deal with different issues at different times. I know over the years I have shared a lot of them here and learned to trust in Jesus a little more thru prayer. All I can say is that there are times when life seems almost impossible. That is when it time to pray a little more if you are a praying person amd believing in time this too shall pass.

Problems and happiness is not permanent in every one's life. It is a great fact.
We have go with attitude. When you have attitude, problems will fear about you.
