I kind of have the same outlook! When I let my guard down and depression and the poor me attitude tries to override my life I usually run across someone with bigger problems, and worse issues to cope with than I do, and they still have a smile to share! Which is worse, knowing your going to die in the near future, or knowing your going to live to a ripe old age but being in extreme pain each and every day for the rest of your life! To me ether way is fine, but I'll let God choose the outcome!
Do you ever worry over the not important things? but then you realize you see someone else with a problem?
Often. It helps when I see others struggling. Then I am able to look at my situation and say - gee, it could be worse. Or I can tell myself, when I look at someone else struggling - I can help. When I help someone else, it takes my mind off what I was worried about.
You notice someone els with a more difficult problem? I suppose I have yes. I guess we are wired that way to deal with the problem in front of us. Then again, people have anxiety and even phobias. And my OCD! makes no sense yet I still do it.
So you cans say I worry about useless stuff every night! infact it keeps me up often.
I struggle every month and now im looking for another place to move to this trailer park is out of control and trash residents. I know other people have it worse then me but being my age and what i went thrue in life im ready to call it quits. Life is not worth all this fighting for food stamps drama and still broke no car barely able to walk and incontinece from a surgery
