    Sorry I posted this thread on After Hours My apologies

    But i reckon I may get a few ans. here.

    How can you keep everything and everyone happy????

    Having problems in , Uni , the bank and I reckon my reletionship is on the rocks !
    Also working my ass off waiting tables for **** all money. I reckon i'll be hanging myself before the week is out.

    Why do obstacles keep appearing, as soon as you think you have a straight road in front of you? and then the obstacles come in groups that f***ing Kills me.

    I'll be in tears by the end of the day.
    And am also in the middle of my exams, Christ on a Bike.
    God has a funny way of showing he Loves me!

    "How can you keep everything and everyone happy?"
    A: You don't, you'd go mad trying, so stop.

    Everyone goes through some tough times at some stage, depression, no confidence or self-esteem. We get through it, and even look back and realise that it has improved us as a person.

    Be careful not to alienate your true friends, they can help. Don't talk to people who make it worse. Deal with the things you can deal with - make a list and take action, e.g. call the bank and arrange a telephone meeting with your a/c mgr. Be positive.

    Ensure you're doing enough physical things and the emotional side will improve - eat properly, exercise in the fresh air (even just a walk) and cut down the drink & smoke for a while.

    Al.

    I know the feeling, I seem to go through cycles of everything going fine for months, then everything going wrong at once, people stop liking me for no apparent reason, lasts a few weeks then everything is normal again. Sucks, but you just have to grin and bear the bad patches. Probably life's way of getting you to confront **** that you keep buried.

    Prioritise whats important.

    As Trojan said, make a list of everything that you need to concentrate, and then decide whats the most important and what you need to spend most time on.

    If you're in the middle of exams then they should be number one. Let family/friends/boy or girl friends know that you're up to your eyes with a million things and that you need to concentrate on them for a week/weeks.

    Once exams are done, move onto the next thing, money maybe. Work more hours, or get a better paying job, sort out the bank problems sooner rather than later. Your bank manager deals with poverty-ridden students all the time, just explain the problems.

    The reason obstacles keep appearing is because people assume when i have this done then i'll be happy when have that done then i'll be happy when exams are over then i'll be happy when i get the job then i'll be happy when i get a better job wife kids then i'll be happy and it goes on and on and on.

    you end up wishing your life away.....

    there's no better time to be happy than NOW not waiting for this or wishing for that.
    everyone has problems obstacles etc etc these never end...it's how you go about getting over the obstacles or even not seen them as obstacles just part of life itself.

    just live.....and listen to Trojan.....

    Thank you to all who replied,
    Kinda was against the wall there for a bit.

    I sorted things out with the missus which is great
    tricky thing it's a long distance reletionship, so i gather you can all imagine.

    Will take it a day at a time and try to remain positive.

    Once again thank you to you all.

    Regards
    Ichiro

    Ichiro,

    Life is no bed of roses for anyone. Without the bad times !, how would we ever learn to really appreciate the good times.

    If you have good general health. Count your blessings.

    I learnt very young that , things never seem so bad tomorrow, and its true.

    Just my 2cs worth.

    P.:ninja:

    No offence here man, but
    A) at least youve GOT a relationship, wether its on the rocks or not
    B) At least youve got a job, no matter how ****ty, there are people out there whod kill to be working thier ass off in a bar, when youve been unemployed for long enough youd give your left nut for any kind of work.
    C)College may suck but at least youre getting an education, think of the thousands out there who left after junior cert year and will spend thier lives flipping burgers.

    To summarise, yes life sucks, but it could suck a hell of alot worse. Be thankful for that at least.

    don't worry Ronaldo, you'll grow out of it. ;) there's nothing like the love of a good woman.:)

    as for Ichiro, seriously try not to worry too much. as has already been said, prioritize the things you can do something about and work on fixing them first.

    i'm not a religious person but one of the things that keeps me going in hard times is the prayer of serenity.

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

    Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
    Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.

    Amen.


    at one point a few years back i was about as close to suicide that you can get without going over, and for some reason that was popping into my head at just the right time, and it got me through it all.

    just keep your head down and you'll get through it eventually, and you'll be a better person for the experience when you do.

    Unlucky......I know!

    Before going on a military parachuting course, I was told I was slightly dyslexic
    They eventually did let me go on the course, I never knew I had it
    (And you obviously didnt either - meaning it isnt that bad)

    Infact the shrink reckoned it to have helped me have the analytical mind that today helps me organise and work with decisions that affect thousands if not millions.

    Check out http://www.dyslexia.com for more information ...

    As far as exams go - everything else can, and should be put on hold for that..

    Relationships suck, I just broke up with my girlfriend 2 weeks ago - still not over her, but this isnt the first time it's happened - all it requires is time. Try working it out. If it doesnt, use that as an excuse to work even harder. Keeping busy will help you stop dwelling on things you can sort out later..

    My first job was working in McDonalds fives years ago. It sucked. Today Im a military analyst and consultant. Everything relies on experience, no matter how insignificant you feel it is.

    Bank account hassles - talk to close friends - have a frank discussion with your account manager. Do this all after exams though. It is imperative you get through.

    Last but not least - remember your response to everyone's advice may be "Easier said than done" Just dont lose hope. Nobody can ever truly make us feel better deep down inside, it's hard enough for soulmates to do that (And we all know how hard they are to find) The best way is to focus, analyse, break down your tasks of things to do, work on them, keep to schedule, maybe even pick up a new hobby.

    Best of luck mate.
    Hope it all works out for the best.

    Deadwing is right in certain forms. And millions if not billions have gone through everything we do. Although to each their own problems seem worse than anybody else's. That's what I think about my ex-girlfriend - but I know others have had it even worse probably (although I cant imagine, I pretend I know)

    Think of nice things when in bed!

    Best of luck with your exams :)
