Sometimes I feel someone is playing a cruel joke

    I don't really expect any answer but just needed to write this down. Sometimes I just feel that someone is playing a cruel joke on me. Recently I started a new job which I love. But I really don't get along with the other guy who works in the office. I really like the house I moved to when I started my new job. It's perfect really. Right in the middle of the town, very close to work and all amenities, but I've had a lot of trouble with housemates. i didn't know them when I moved in. They are messy, loud, they don't work and are noisy at night preventing me from sleeping. I've tried saying it to them but nothing changes. I can't move as I signed a lease for a year. I met a girl I really like recently but again there is a twist. She lives 2 hours away. Sometimes I just feel like things are against me. Again I realise things could be a lot worse because the amount of good things in my life outweighs the bad. I just thought that writing this down could help.

    You should try and look at the positives instead of the negative, you have a job you like, you live in town and you've just meet a girl you really like!

    If your flat mates are noisy get ear plugs, dont mind your man in work and get on the bus and go see your girl at the weekend!

    Really? You think life is playing a cruel trick on you? You think this is as hard as it gets? I feel like I'm blessed...I live with my parents and I'm in my late twenties about 2 hours from my job and an hour from civilisation. I have no choice because my job (the only job I could get after coming home from living abroad...hassling people all day long cold-calling selling rubbish they don't need) doesn't pay enough to move out. The person I'm in love with lives 3000 miles away...but I feel blessed: I've got a roof over my head, I have a job when 10% of the population don't and someone, even if he's thousands of miles away and we probably have no future and I might never see him again, loves me. It was good while it lasted.

    Man, not getting sanctimonious here but when I read your post, I felt nothing but jealousy and I was scrolling down waiting to read the big PERSONAL ISSUE..it wasn't there and that's why you've so few responses. There's always somebody worse off than you. That may not be what you want to hear but really, life isn't going to go swimmingly for you all of the time. I'm sure you know that but sometimes you loose perspective on your situation and you fall into a self-defeatest, self-pitying frame of mind. As the previous poster said, concentrate on the positives, have a read through other PIs here and hopefully you'll gain a bit of perspective and realise that you're actually a lucky b*stard compared to most.

    The only person who can change your situation is you. You're not so far in a slump that you're a lost cause. I wouldn't even say your in a slump. You just have to get up off your backside and change what is making you unhappy...find someone else to take over your lease, make a fresh start with your work colleague and if you like this girl, make a real effort to see her as much as you can....2 hours is nothing...as I said, I make that journey to work and back (4 hours) MOnday to Friday.

    Chin up, man.
