[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need life advice on how to keep a positive outlook when life keeps throwing terrible situations my way. I do[b] not[/b] have any thoughts of self harm, but I'm so despondent. It's making me wonder what the point of life is.

In short, every person in my family has had some random (not genetic) serious, life changing issue in the last four years. My youngest developed a rare, painful eye disease, and lost sight in one eye. My middle son has severe mental health issues, with inpatient stays. My oldest was in a severe automobile accident, crushing the left side of his body, resulting in multiple surgeries, rods, metal plates. My husband has a lifelong disease, was put in a coma, has had four major surgeries, and is fully, permanently disabled, unable to work. My mom was diagnosed with an incurable disease, she will be in chronic pain for the remainder of her life. She's in and out of hospitals.

I could go on, but that's just my immediate family. I am healthy, thankfully. But now I'm back in the cycle of hospital-stop by home-work-hospital. I'm the glue and I'm so so tired. I have a good career and keep all of this from affecting my work, as it's all I have to catch a mental break.

I have family support (not locally, but they've offered to come out), and they are as shocked as I am by how life has turned out for us.

I know many find solace in religion. I grew up Catholic, but haven't practiced in years. At this rate I'm praying to anyone and everyone. I'm manifesting and anything else I can do to keep my spirits up. But the truth is I am so so broken.

Please give me some solace. I don't know what else to do. I'm just taking my tasks in 30 minute increments, and trying hard not to sink.[/quote]

I am so sorry that you and your family have been hit so hard.  You absolutely must take care of yourself both physically and emotionally.  God bless you and give you the strength needed to carry on.[/quote]
