I can really relate to what you're saying as well. I just got out of a bad place, and I'm now teetering on the edge – things could go up or down from here. I'm trying to see the bad things that have happened as opportunities, for example:
Bad thing: My closest friend stopped being friends with me.
Opportunity: I now have more time and inclination to meet new people.Bad thing: I was in a wreck that totaled my car.
Opportunity: Now I get a new one! (Actually used, but new to me).Bad thing: I've been living with my Mom who is emotionally abusive.
Opportunity: Just one more reason to push me out of my comfort zone so that I will get my own place.If I focused on the bad things, I would probably never get out of bed. But I'm trying, which is all I can do. I hope you'll keep trying too.
Anyway, I don't know if this is helpful or not, I just felt like I could relate. Try not to give up just yet!
