How to cope when everything is going wrong?

I can't control it. I make changes but things just happen. And it seems like to make matters worst people around me pop up with how great things are moving in their life. Its making me feel hopeless.

    Well shit happens and sometimes it snowballs and you get caught in a rut. When you think negatively, negative things tend to happen. Try to make the best of things and have a positive attitude and positive things will generally happen. Although sometimes things are just beyond your control and you just have to cope the best you can until they get better.

    In general people (unless they're very close to you) usually present themselves in a positive light and don't share the bad things that happen. Especially don't take what people post on social media as necessarily honest lenses of their lives.

    • Yea. Social media makes things worst too.

        It's okay to take a break from social media.

        Actually, that's the mark of a good troll. To ruin someone's happy mood in a subtle, creative way. Trolling is an art form. Only the finest trolls deserve admiration.

    You sound quite young: it's part of growing up and becoming an adult to accept that everyone has difficult times in their lives and that it usually can't be avoided and must be dealt with.

    It's up to you to choose how to deal with hard times: I suggest you check out Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which teaches how to change negative thought patterns and consequently negative feelings. Do some googling, there are books available if you can't afford therapy.

    One thing to cultivate is GRATITUDE: do you have a roof over your head, food to eat, clean water to drink, nobody is bombing you? Repeat (out loud is good if you are able to) a list every night as you fall asleep: as in "I am grateful I have a comfortable bed to sleep in" and so on and so on: write them down and refer to them when you're feeling the world is against you.

    Good luck! If you can work out how to deal with the bad times they won't go on as long and you'll have a much happier life!

  • In the end, things will work out for the best. Also, don't measure yourself by others; all you get from that is frustrated. The best way to measure yourself is against who you once were and who you want to become.

    Are people always posting what they really believe on this site, or are some of them just posting what they think others want to hear people say? I wonder

      Nobody talks to me about money, if that's what you mean.

    As long as you work hard to keep yourself dry, the storm will eventually pass, it always does.

    In times of need I would seek out your local pastor. Have faith in God and yourself and everything will be fine.

    Hey, I would say you have to let it flow, try to find a direction or current you can take. I spent years without a job because of my autism. Then I became a roofer, or at least the guy who has to peel off the roof. I have anxiety, sadness, and some days I think thoughts I dont think anyone thinks. Still, no matter you're path, they only way to survive is to take it. You're gonna hate people, and wish you never started, but don't let that get you down.

    Take things one step at a time. Think positive thoughts no matter what. And squire a fuck everyone else attitude. Start fucking people over. Lie your ass off to get ahead. And stab people in the back at each and every opportunity. If it works for Trump it can work for you. No more Mr nice guy dude! Good luck!
