Feeling defeated

Sounds like youre a little like me and had a bad luck run.  Mine occured when I was young and rolled my first car, uninsured, baby sitting 2 of my bosses kids, who werent wearing a seat belt.  My father was the local police sgt, and I was 17, in my first job, and my boss was the Councils District Clerk.  I have so many stories that ran on from there I wound up with a bad attitude in my 20's from it, nothing seemed to go my way, I just felt plain unlucky!  This is just a stage, and one that passes, unfortunately, it aint much fun when the luck seems to run out all at once.  No words ever made me feel better, I needed lots of money and a magic wand, and I had neither.  Character building they call it (fffttt!), its never easy and I have learnt now at 46 with cancer, that some-times  we just gotta wade through the mud for awhile.  Luckily, happier times are ahead, time goes by, nothing stays the same, and from out of no-where bam, one day ya wake up and you go - Hell I made it through that, again!  But I so wish you well, and really hope something out of blue comes up to make your day a bit happier tomorrow.  My heart goes out to you too!  XX Bel  Im hearin ya sister!

Hi Kathleen,

venting is highly acceptable and you have had a rough trot.

I hope that your car issues are sorted with your sevicing company and that you can get back on track.

cheers

Yes I agree you have been dealt some tough ones.  I have learnt that challenges will come along all the time and the important thing is how YOU deal with them and how long it takes for you to "pick yourself up and change direction"  I have had many of these in my life but I won't allow myself to be beaten.  I am feeling the best I have felt for the past 2 years.(second bc diagnosis Dec 2010)   It saddens me that others are going through such hard times BUT I do know that there is a happy ending.  We do have to complete our own "story".  What I have found is: challenges come along and you do have to deal with them one at a time  ie surgery, treatment etc etc.  And then the recovery (now that is the hardest for someone who "wants it now") is a slow process.   I always set myself goals and "hung" them in my mind until it was their turn to come forward.  Today I reached one of those "hanging carrots" - I went back to Personal Training after 2 years - and I did it well.  Just keep chipping away and you will conquer!!!  Best wishes XLeonie
