Your struggles are so typical to all, though individualized with your own set of circumstances and choices.
I think a lot of people gave up hope after Sept 11, and since then have gone down hill. I also think it is now time to get back on track. Hopelessless leads to self pity leads to vulnerability leads to mistakes that might take a lifetime to recover from.
It is surprising how quickly one can recover with hope, trust, courage. It usually takes less effort than we fear. One little thing I am trying to do is to replace bad thoughts with a hymn. So far since yesterday it has worked 100% of the time. Here's my hymn.
