It wouldn't be so bad

[Harmony]

If it weren’t for the fact my whole entire life is like this. I feel like God just really hates me and so my whole life is just this awful mess-- all the big things and all the little things and I am just really tired of trying to be upbeat while everyone else gets to go crazy and lose their jobs all the time and blow up and I am doing my best to be nice and nothing absolutely nothing at all in my entire life is working out and I am just miserably UNHAPPY and no one cares.

God doesn’t hate you or anyone.

Have you considered what your own role in your misery might be?
It doesn’t matter if anyone cares or not. If you don’t like how your life is going, change it. But stop comparing yourself to people that in fact don’t sound like people you should envy.

You are pretty good about pointing the finger at God. What have you given to him lately? Are you a practicing Catholic? How old are you?

A couple of questions, what is your age bracket? What is your station in life (student, husband, mother, retiree)? That helps when responding in detail.

My first advice would be to know that suffering is part of our human condition. It is how we approach that suffering that makes Christians different.

Bad luck . broken mirror Catholic Living

We are sincerely sorry to hear of your struggles. However, the CA Forums are unfortunately not set up to provide intensive spiritual counseling. Our best advice is for you to seek out a good priest on the local level who knows you or can get to know you because he’ll be treating you in the most fruitful counseling environment: a three-dimensional one. You may also wish to consider getting other support on the local level from a licensed counselor who is respectful of your Catholic Faith. Regard…

Thanks so much to all of you, @Cruciferi, @TheLittleLady and @IrishMom.

Actually, I saw a priest some time ago, he got me st up with counseling.

And falling apart and reading your answers made realize the counselor I have now is not a good fit for me. I have been feeling more and more depressed since I started seeing her, not because we are dealing with issues or something, but because what we are doing is not helping me.

So, thank you all for reading my tale of woe and telling me I need a therapist because that helped me see that i seemed like a person who needs one instead of someone who has one.

How is your spiritual life? Do you pray for guidance when you are unhappy? I pray for other people when I have issues, I look at people worse than me and I pray for them and thank God for what He has given me. You eventually see that you have more than you originally realize. There is always someone worse than you, pray for them.

I will pray for you.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on Harmony, I pray that You surround her with Your love and have mercy on the whole world. (x10)

I did pray a decade of my daily Divine Mercy Chaplet for your intention
