      I know I'm commenting on your post 5 months later; but I just wanted you to know I understand...Me & my family have gone through some really hard times over the last couple of years. I've got chronic physical conditions that make life really hard, and then it wears on a person mentally, emotionally. Anyways, just wanted to say that I hope that things get better for you, and for all of us who are struggling.. I hope that many blessings & peace can come into your life. ☮🙏🏼💗

    Summary on ways to cope:
    1. Shorten the timeframe of your perspective. Instead of thinking "how am I going to survive this for 1 year?", narrow it to just 1 month. If thinking of 1 month is hard, look forward to surviving the day. If the day is hard, look forward to surviving just the next hour. This helps alleviate unnecessary overthinking and suffering in the mind, AKA anxiety. Cut the timeframe until you can cope with it.
    2. Be alert to the little beauties in life, the little things to be happy for. Look for glimpse lights, even if the tunnel is long and dark.
    3. If it's tragic, at least don't make it hell. Try not make the situation worse than it already is, this helps us tolerate with things needed to be tolerated in the present.

    That’s facts. One gets caught up in these sort of time loops where we think the current circumstance can potentially be forever, but it’s a trap, such loops. If one gets caught up with that sort of thinking, good luck coming out alive.

    My father is on his deathbed.
    He has few weeks/months at most, and he is suffering a lot.
    He can't walk by himself, he can't eat or drink anything by himself, he can't go to washroom by himself either.
    It has been very tough on us, specially my mother, because she's close to 60 as well.
    So recently I have started to help around in taking him step by step from here to there.
    He let's all of his weight go on the person holding him, so it's very difficult to control him.
    My mother was going through sleepless nights and she's also a heart patient, so I realised that if I don't intervene and help, I might just end up losing both of them.
    This may sound brutal, but I'd rather have my father pass away after living his last few months and help him around, so my mom can take rest as well.
    This is the best decision there is to make.
    Life is fucking tough, but as long as I choose to be powerful, I'll come out victorious. Maybe with few scars, but victorious in the end.

      @@BreakingImageFilms Hey, thanks for your comment, It reminded me that I posted this a year ago.
      I have a update.
      I am a very spiritual person, and so were my father and my ancestors.
      I've been guided and helped by multiple divine deities and right after my graduation, I landed a job.
      I had to shift 400 km (248 miles) for it, but everything was extremely convenient.
      My friends were already living in the city I shifted to, the flat was very near to my work location.
      After 6 months of working there, I was guided to switch the job, and I found a new better paying job (I cleared the interview being sleepless because I was creating an updated resume, preparing for the interview and doing certain rituals to take the blessings of the deities.)
      I've been working there and the environment is also great, the Team Leader is like an older brother to me and everyone are very friendly.
      I'm also guided by the deities that in the next few years i'll have very fast spiritual and material growth, and then I would have a lot of free time, which I would spend with my mother (she still lives in my home town, we meet once every month and we talk on call multiple times a day),
      and most of my time will be spent on my spiritual rituals which will help me create a stronger connection with multiple different deities, and they have many things to be carried out like helping/protecting people around me.
      Overall life's been great. I've learnt alot, became stronger, and the pain that I have gone through gave me strength and understanding which helps me to assist people going through tough times.

    I can't do it...staying positive through difficult times is impossible. I reached a limit where I don't want to keep on living, why keep going? I'm not getting no where in life, I despise my family, I hate living in NYC, tired of paying bills and running errands nonstop. I can't think positive no matter how many times I tried, I feel rage and sadness. It's not worth living anymore

    i am at a period of time where i am very uncertain if i can survive this or not. I am a uni student, to study i prefer to have a clear mind. but this thing what is sort of ruining it is the job. I think i am a victim to a scam, i just wanted to make more money whilst studying. it is an online job, turns out they take my money but return back with some profit. Now they are asking for more money and i dont have much, so i am worried, because they are threatening me.
