Why does nothing ever go right for me?!


Question: Why does nothing ever go right for me?
My entire life has just been bad luck. I always try my hardest at everything and always fail. Every time something good starts to happen in my life, something twice as bad always comes along to ruin it. People always tell me to hold on, think positively and things will get better, but it never does. I saw a counselor a few years ago, which, while it was nice to talk about my problems to someone, didn't help solve any.

I'm not a big believer of God, but I often feel like he just wants to watch me suffer. I know there's lots of people with worse problems than me, but I've seriously reached the end of my tether. It reached it's peak the other night when I went out with a girl I like from work and a few other work friends. Another guy joined us later on, they started dancing and ended up getting together. Ever since I've just felt like sh*t and can't see the point in anything any more. She was seriously the only good thing going on in my life, and now that's been taken away too.

What can I do? I hate feeling like this and things are just getting worse.

I think your suffering from depression... I think the problem is the enviroment you live in... The choice I give to you is to move to a quiet idylic location like scotland or somewhere you've always thought was full of cheery happy people. It'll help a lot in your case... it's called a fresh start... I'm studying pychology so I hope i can be the one to make you think !



Hmmm just move on bro. Or if you see something that you want, take a stand and take it. Dont let it out of your grasp.



Just end it.



It sounds silly, but by expecting bad things, you ATTRACT bad things!

I truly believe that positive thoughts attract positive energy, while negative thoughts attract disappointment. I will be 50 years old in a little bit, and I have seen this more and more as I age. Try boosting your self-confidence in small ways- look in the mirror and praise your assets. Say things like, :I have beautiful blue eyes" or, This haircut really looks good on me", or "My cheekbones are really attractive".
Or tell yourself,"I am one of the smartest people I know" or "I can do math in my head faster than anybody".

SELF-CONFIDENCE is the key to attracting good things, so start making your self-worth a priority. Once you accomplish that, everything else falls in your lap!



You dont believe in god? start.
i've been through and have seen some horrible things.
i didnt have anyone to talk to and i was gonna give up on life. i tried one more time asking god to send some one to help me. a few days passed and nothing happened and i still felt the same. about a week later i decided i was gonna end my life when i get home from school. on that afternoon god sent me someone and that someone is the reason im here today. this someone is a very big part of my life now :)



....sounds like a bit of the victim to me....easy enough to do and we all do it. What it comes down to is deciding, actually deciding and saying it out loud that you want to feel better. How nice it would be to feel good, how nice it would be with happy experiences and people in your life. You are in charge, no one else...and the old saying is life can be based on attitude and how you adjust to situations. A good book. "Why my life sucks and what I can do about it..." by Alan Cohen...go to book store or library..it's a quick read...but gives some insights. Plus there are LOADS of good books like that out there...each gives a little insight and can give you hope and ideas for change.

Bottom line is you need a boost of self esteem, to start replacing victim thoughts with ones that feel better, and some things to look forward to. Start a hobby, do some volunteering (always makes you feel better about self while helping and meeting new people who are always happy to see you)

With the situations you describe it sure sounds as if you are throwing in the towel because things don't go your way...well...look around you it happens to everyone. The difference is making better choices...having a sense of humor and taking care of self, more than you have been. Hope you can make things work.
