I Want to Be Positive About Life

Yeah, I *want* to. But I’ve been in a bad part of my life since about 2013.

At least, I have now realized this - it isn’t going to be just one bad thing; it’s going to be one bad thing after another, and I had better just keep my head down and try to get through it.

There are two things that give me just a glimmer of hope:

1) Bad parts of my life in the past have been temporary. Hopefully this one will be temporary, too.

2) Since I’ve had to do this before, and I have some experience, maybe I’ll handle this bad part of my life better than I handled previous bad parts of my life. I can keep my head down, try to be very good at my job, pay all my bills on time, and be pleasant and polite to people. Hopefully, I won’t make things any worse than they are.

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time in your life. Your 2 points are really good, try to focus on those as best you can. Lean on friends for support if you have any you can trust enough. You don't have to go through all this alone.
