General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I have been trying so so hard, the best that I could, I was super close, just a teaser, almost got it! BUT I didn't.I tried again, with less might due to circumstances around my family.However, I tried and failed. I am not like most, my situation and background is not like most.However, I keep trying...., but I am tired, I don't want waste my time and I belive I can do it.I am trying to make myself look like most people  but I am not. Have to overcome some things. GOT TO JUMP HOOPS.Why nothing is easy for me? , others seem to have it much easier. I am going to try again one more time and this time I am trying the harder that I have ever tried in my life. I will organize my life in a way that allows me to keep trying. IAM TIRED.I don't want to give up. The third one is the lucky one.

You are writing it out. That alone gives you the determination to keep going, keep on keeping on, find the words that give you the extra power to keep on finding the strength to go one more step!

You can do this!

We all get tired. It is a constant battle to try and stay in the fight. For me, when I hit a wall, I try to quote scripture. Philippians 4:6-7 and 1 Peter 5:7. There are some others. I know that prayer and meditation often help me. We are here for you...you are not alone!

I have had similar situations as it sounds like you have. The biggest thing I will say is be kind to yourself! Others don’t notice or care nearly as much of the “mess ups” that you think they do, and just because they don’t say it, doesn’t mean they don’t love you. You are absolutely worth keeping trying! you can do it!!

Inside my own skin, there is most definitely such a thing as trying too hard. When I am trying too hard, I blind myself to the progress I have made and blow insignificant problems into obstacles which are too big to overcome. I beat myself to exhaustion over these "inadequacies" while the folks who know me are left puzzled over my self-abuse.

My easy-to-say-but-hard-to-do solution is to back off and take a gentle but encouraging personal inventory. Not even **I** am ALL bad and incompetent. Taking the time to notice and appreciate my own strengths and progress goes a long way in helping me be more compassionate with myself. For further positive reinforcement, I take the time to celebrate my small victories. Yay me! ! ! I resisted the urge to ram my car up the tailpipe of the jerk who just cut me off in traffic! ! !

But that is me. . .

Gentle support while you sort your own. Sort freely. Sort often. Your own, strictly personal answers are in there.
