emotions? how do we keep perspective(balance) when life "suck"?

Realize that life really doesn't suck at all.  \nA friend dying is a friend who no longer desired to be here on earth and shouldn't really be a sad thing at all.\nWe create our own reality and we should change it if we don't like what we create.  Remember, we create what we think about, what we concentrate on.  If you concentrate on sadness because your friend died then that will be your lot.\nIf you concentrate on the good memories that you have of your friend then that will be your friend's legacy to you.\nLook around you and if you don't like what you see then look within' and change your thoughts.

Boy, I think we all get to that point at times. I hear ya and empathize. I've found when I feel one of those moods coming on, I tell myself.. This "mood" is entirely up to me, I can CHOOSE to be miserable and make others miserable OR I can CHOOSE to be upbeat and let things slide off my shoulders for another day.. What would ya rather do today?  Sometimes, it's grudgingly, but I opt for the upbeat choice. Another thing is to set a NEW goal in life, whether it be work or your personal life and get excited about it.\n\n\nP.S.  Being able to bring a smile to others is a gift that should be shared often by us all and the doom n gloom we sometimes feel does not in anyway fix our situations, so consider it a waste of time.

Each day at the end of the day, write down 5 things that you are thankful for.  It doesn't matter how small or big the things are.  If someone you love, smiled at you, that is a good thing.  If you get a perfect parking spot, that is a positive thing.  Focus on what is positive in life.  Believe in your higher power and that everything happens for a reason.  Sometimes negativity brings lessons that we need to learn even when it feels bad.  Try to find the good even in the bad things.  Trust that your higher power will see you through all bad and good events.

We're all placed in stressful situations sometimes that are difficult to cope with. My best advice to you is to look at the positive side of things. The fact that you have a job and an income is a good thing. The fact that you are using a computer to access the Internet is a great privilege (believe me it's a privilege). The fact that you were raised in this great nation is an opportunity. You sound young and you entire life is ahead of you. This is only a chapter in your life. A chapter is bound to end when another begins. Have patience and faith in yourself and in your ability to change your perception of your situation. Thank God for the moments that you have. Remember, this is life, not a dress rehearsal. Make everyday count. And finally, I have personally found that I feel a lot better when I stop focusing on my own problems and try to offer help to someone else. We get so focused on self sometimes that we forget that there are people out there who are in a much worst situation than us. Try to lend a helping hand to someone, and you will see how blessed you will become.

Right now i'm in that same situation. You have to learn to let go of all the bad negativity. That doesn't help when you hold everything inside. You have to learn to express yourself better. If you have a best friend or a real close friend. Share almost everything with them. If things bother you that people do let them know. Don't stress over the little things. There is a way to be happier all the time even if it's not you, but it will take some work. You have to look deep inside of you and wthink to yourself why do I act the way I do??

All that occurs in our life is only for getting the good results at the end in our life. so dont be tensed, its time for you to learn from this small result and get the big result at the next time. Every tides as the ups and downs.Now it seems to be down. That means your going to get ups in your life next time. So dont get dissapointed. work hard."What you think as, as you will be", so always think positive. You think like this, "I will always win .I always be happy and dont get tensed". Then you dont get bad results. I wish you for the further success in your life.

Life is a constant journey. Sometimes you have a nice road to run along sometimes deep trenches, the idea is go slow on the trenches make the time spent over the trench as less painful as possible. I have more than my proportion of bad moods or you can say bad times. The best way I say is call up a long forgotten friend and talk about the good things of the past. \nIf I am too frustrated to call a friend, I listen a soothing song and sometimes to a track which I myself can sing out loud. I have one song which I listen to in such moods and sing so loud so as to let go my frustrations out with that song. \nThan I try watching people or situations who are worst than us. Maybe the beggar on the street or the rag picker, whose existence is virtually unknown to the world, and appreciate the fact that god has given me lot more than I deserve. \nI become optimistic again on thinking, I came to this world "naked" and HE provided me with comfort, love, support & a lot of what I am today. So say a little prayer, thank him, make peace with my soul and get to work again. I think being a little bit spiritual helps in getting out of such situations quickly.

I usually deal with things pretty well, but once in a great while I'll need to call a friend or catch one of my buddies online & say, "I'M P*SSED OFF!!!" then rant for half an hour or so.\nIf you need to talk, I'm around, so you can use me, I guess\nBUT if you're one of those who ALWAYS has something to complain about, and life just SUCKS, then you should look into changing your outlook, because I don't have patience for whiners (I live with one, and I'm just this side of knocking out the rest of his teeth for b*tching about everything & doing nothing to change his circumstances).

Get a feeling sense of what you wish to accomplish.Think from it, as if you already have it. Do whatever it takes to feel as though you already have it. React to it as if you do. Write "I am so happy and grateful now that _________." and list what you want in your life, in every area, That has been especially powerful to my life. It adds subconscious divine universal help to your efforts to better your life. It helps you control your own luck. It helps your thinking. But thinking alone isn't enough. Truly believing it in your heart Will definitely control this power. You can tell the difference by Saying "the Sun exists" and feeling the truth of that, and compare that to saying, "We have two suns" When you know the difference between those two feelings, you'll know the feeling of real truth in comparison to something you make up. That way, you'll know when you truly believe what it is you're going to manifest as comparison to simply only thinking it. Always remain positive, look at the positive aspects of life, ignore the negatives. ALways think about what you wish to experience and never what you fear. What you think about most and feel will be, will be. So this makes sure what you're making to be, is going to be something that you like. How you feel about something, good or bad, will always tell you directly how you'll feel when you get there. So if something feels good, or makes you feel good, keep doing it, or if something makes you feel bad or afraid, don't do it or think about it. Always experience joy in your life and focus only on it. No matter what. When you feel down. Start singing or Do whatever it takes to keep your positive outlook, it doesn't matter how much like reality it feels like your avoiding or being out of touch, you create your own reality so when you remain happy no matter what, you will be happy and eventually incapable of becoming sad or discouraged. Be happy no matter what, and do this with conviction. A standard as though breathing is a standard for living. If you do not breathe you die, this is how you will think of this standard of remaining happy and positive, and truly your life will be one of legends. Biblical and Amazing. People will look at you and wonder how you have everything you want, what do you do different than me? And you'll be different because you live with a secret. A magic secret that gives you anything, ANYTHING, you want. If you'll let it.

That's just how life is, unfortunately. Just gotta take it one day at a time though. Try to find the good that eventually comes out of a bad situation.

You are right...wrong attitude.  Figure out why you think "life sucks."  Are you cold, hungry, abused?  If not you have a great start in life but you must work at it.  Most of us do that are merely the poor or average majority.  Get with the program.

hey, hello :)\nseems like you know you have some issues to overcome, i say you are almost there!\ndon't be miserable. everyone goes through this kind of emotions @ least once in our lifetime.\ni know this feeling too. sometimes, you feel so empty, miserable & unworthy. and every time,when you try to take 1 step forward, you end up taking 2 steps backward.\ntry to start a routine of exercizing, mix with positive people & read joke books.\ndon't ever indulge in self-pity & regrets. the darkest hours are just before dawn. life is a grindstone; and whether it grinds a man down or polishes him depends on what stuff he's made of.\nif you really look around you, everyone has problems too. what makes them happy is that they try to overcome their problems one @ a time.

I do not believe it is Always possible to stay Positive and happy. But I do believe that if you try to do at least one thing a day that makes you feel good about you that will help. Whenever an event happens that makes you sad you should try to do or find something to make that situation a wee bit better.Try to figure something about that situation that will make you feel a tiny bit better(if there isn't anything try to think about something you may be able to that in itself will help ? HUGS

I try to think "It could be worse". Look around at what you have and think about the people who've made an impact on your life so far. Don't dwell on the bad things, and lastly always hope.

you need to change your perspectiveon the drama. focus on any positive no matter how small and make it bigger so that the stresses seem less. get lost in a good book film or music.
