Does life get any better than this?

Sometimes I feel like everyone around me gets a free ride, while some of us are always suffering & don't seem to ever know when it will stop & go away. I really feel like I'm losing it sometimes. Like today I was driving on a highway in florida & I was looking at the woods ahead in the meadeon & I actually felt like driving right thru it. I have never felt like that before. I don't seem to know if one day I may actually do it.

Yes hon, many times. You're not alone there by a stretch.

And yes, hon, life can get better. For me, it's been a roller coaster ride, up one minute, etc... But I do know that it can, and with effort and help, will, get better.

Hey, get this. I was one of the ones who "had it all" (so to speak), and now, I have gotten myself into a bad situation.
So I was one of the people who I look at now and think they get a free ride. Confused???

What I'm saying is that life can get better, if you want it to. Believe me, you aren't the first to want to drive off the road.

i don't think my life will get any better because i think i am getting the life i deserve. when i was 10 me and my freinds you to laugh at this man who made rude signs to us. weeks later he abused me on the way from school every day for 3 weeks and i think if we hadn't laughed he would have left me alone. i didn't tell anyone until 2 years ago. other people were abused and he is now in jail. so i'm being punished for these things. hence life i too difficult and i want to die.

At the beginning I was afraid to ride the elevator for fear I'd go to the roof and jump. Don't be afraid, we are all in the same boat. It will break for you, I have had my moments and so will you. Doing this is good!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
