Do you ever get discouraged and feel worn down by life?

Question

I do. I was wondering if other people go through the same thing.

Answer 1

Sure. Everyone probably does. But human beings are amazingly resilient. Sometimes just a good night's sleep will restore the hope and the potential of living.  

Answer 2

yes , but I don't ever let life get me down. when I hear all the terrible things that happens to other people but not to me, I feel grateful, so I guess you can say, I always see the cup half full instead of half empty and I always count my blessings so I never get discourage or depress

Answer 3

Doesn't everyone?

Answer 4

yeah, i'm actually feeling really bad right now.

everything i'm striving for,

i just feel like it's out of my reach.

yeah...

life isnt going so great for me right now.

Answer 5

OH, I hear you.  Life seems so hard these days.  Money problems, work problems, relationship problems, etc, etc, etc.

Somedays I just want to lie in my bed and cover my head with the blankets and just hide.  

Maybe you need a little vacation or do something fun for yourself to try and help you get feeling less discouraged.  Or have a huge cry and then eat a bowl of ice cream and realize so many people feel the same thing...

Take care.

Answer 6

Yup, i've felt like that more than my fair share lately. Things get better, though not for long it seems like.

Answer 7

Yes everyone does at one point or another. The difference is if you bounce back and start working on what is overwhelming you or get locked into  those feelings and can't seem to move away from them. That's when you need to get help.
