Do you ever feel like everyone is out to get you?

Not in a paranoid way but in a way that it seems like they are just trying to make things as hard as possible? I have been through a series of constant and consistent dilemmas over the last 11 years of my life which has cause me a great deal of illness and suffering. Everyone out there who offers help actually seem to be the least interested and the least willing to help. I've recently split up with my partner who I have children with after finding out she was leading a double life after all the years of abuse she put me through, I spent 10 years of my life working, at times, in up to three jobs at once, I spent years of my life homeless and sometimes sleeping rough - no bath, no clothes, no money. etc. Today the house I'm living in flooded because of work the council had done, they blamed the contractors, the contractors blamed them and I was left without electricity or water for the entire day. This happened in a house which I'm soon moving out of except that the government have refused to rehouse me even though I suffer with depression partly because of the abuse I've been suffering in that house, every organizaton I have turned to who claim to help have turned me down and I have been told that it's just tough, I'll have to sleep on the street because I have started a claim for sick benefit which I'll lose if I stay in the house. There's actually loads more I could write here but I won't drone on all night.

I never feel like everyone is out to get me until it is time for the utility bills to be paid. Then it seems like everyone has their hand out and just wants a piece of you.

Haha I can't even get a utility bill because of my lack of identification documents which I can't get because I don't have any utility bills! Work that one out!

Well not everyone. I mean that I am sure that there are few people that are still on my side despite everything else. I mean, it is kind of silly to think that every single person in the world is out to get me. At least, I'd like to think that. You know, for the sake of my own sanity. Of course, there might be a few people out to get me. Or perhaps they are not, perhaps that I am seeing things that are not there. Perhaps I am paranoid or perhaps they are out to get there. In all seriousness there are days where it does seem that way. There are days where no matter what, it seems that everything is all balanced and rather skewed towards a certain disastrous outcome. At least that is how I have found things have gone. Of course it could just be one of those days. A day that is going to give me a certain level of frustration but in the end, there will always be the next day. Things have to improve then. Yet everyone does have enemies.

The phrase 'having a bad day' is a complete understatement. I actually wrote a song about it called Every Day's A Bad One! Just when I think things can't get any worse, they suddenly do!

Whoww it sounds you are really in a deep hole so to speak. I sympathize with you with what you are going through. I had been through many difficult situations in the past and I know how tough it is. I want to let you know that any kind of difficulty or failure is just a temporary setback. Human beings have the inherent capacity to bounce back and become victorious. But first we have to realize that nothing happens by chance. Everything in the universe is governed by the law of cause and effect. Meaning everything that comes our way is the direct or indirect effect of the causes we have made in the past, "what we plant we shall reap." To reverse the difficulties and hardships one experiences in life he/she needs to start making good causes. This is the true nature of life.
