People around me are extremely distressed these days. I am also a little stressed out and having difficulties in life. I just move out from my dormitory to a house with 2 of my friends because I got kicked out for no reason with 1000 other students. I know I solved the problem but going through such stuff takes my inner joy away. This is just one example of ridiculous problems we encounter in our daily life that kills happiness. How is it in your life? Do you have any problems that seem minor but make you extremely sad?
As a matter of fact I do LOL I'll tell you my problem and I'll tell you my cure
Close to a year now my mom had been living with my sister they were buying a house my nephew did something stupid my mom was fed up with it and made her cry and she called me up and said come pick her up I did I found out what was going on she wanted to move she wanted me to help her find an apartment. She has Alzheimer's and dementia
There's no way I could let her do that
I told her she can move in with me and I have watched this very vibrant strong independent woman of three kids raised three kids
Smart intelligent common sense just a very good person diminish into a 5 year old and it has crushed me for so many different reasons
I can't work as much as I used to I can't do anything anymore and that part is okay but watching her just change completely into almost a helpless person that can't remember again do anything has just f***** my life up
But what I have to remember is this is only a moment in time she's not going to be around much longer it's my job to make it the best the last days of her life I mean she raised me for 16 years it's the least that I can do to make her last days good for her
All my worries about what I'm going through are stressful but I can't make it about me so I focus on her and I will deal with me later.
Thank God for little jobs that I have been getting here and there I can't do any big jobs now it's hard to even leave the house now
But what keeps me going is I have to remember no matter what anybody says anybody does or how I feel
It's just that I'm the one that controls my feelings I am the only person on the inside of me it can make me happy or sad and no matter how I look at things I had to find the positive because there's a reason for everything so I choose to make myself happy because I'm the only one that can do that it's hard sometimes but you have to smile and you have to go forward as long as you keep getting fresh oxygen to your brain and you have a goal to look forward to I think you can do anything I say good luck I say you don't need it I think you are pretty well balanced according to your questions but just keep going for it it's just a moment in time it will pass in another moment will come

Yes, I really cannot take a vacation this summer ofr the second year in a row. In the general scheme of things it could be worse but today it just made me really sad.
That doesn’t seem like a “minor” problem, that’s a big problem. It only seems “minor” bc you solved it already but that doesn’t mean you don’t need time to process your feelings about the sucky thing that happened to you. Solving the problem doesn’t take away the feelings of the problem, that’s what I’ve learned anyway. One phrase that’s been imbedded in my mind for situations like those is, “I’ll get over it, I just need to be dramatic first.” Meaning you got to feel your feelings before you can move on from it, which is a perfectly normal and healthy way to deal with whatever’s going on with you. For me, right now, that kind of minor problem probably extends to me having trouble with my job and how it doesn’t pay enough, and subsequently how no jobs in the area seem to pay enough short of enlisting in the army. I’ll pass on that one, thanks.
Numb, hollow on most occasions. Occasionally sad. Occasionally irritated.
