Why is life so sh t
I used to be a really positive kinda guy then life took a really poor down turn, not complaining just documenting, then life got unexpectidly (sic) really good. I met my current patrner, I adore her and her daughter, things seem to be going in the right direction and then BAM! everything goes breasts skyward. My point is.......................is it just me or is it, when you think things are on an even track. God'll kick you in the nuts just to show you who's boss?
WHY? ANYBODY. |
Re: Why is life so sh1t
I know that feeling!!!
Oh boy do I know that feeling...... and every year I say " this year has got to be better than the last one" :rolleyes: |
Re: Why is life so sh1t
It happens to the best of us Shady
I find a sense of humour helps. People who know me on a personal level will confirm I can be at an all time low but will still find some kind of humour in the situation. Chin up guys, it can only get better :) |
Re: Why is life so sh1t
The people who know me say the same, Tinks, but it doesn't blimmin help.
LIFE, at the mo, STINKS. |

Re: Why is life so sh1t
Sadley life loves to give us a good kicking now and again. The answer is to get up shrug it off and show that you wont let it get you down.

Re: Why is life so sh1t
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying "oh woe is me" but it's just so bloody annoying when bad things happen to the best people (and I'm not saying that's me. It's my partner who is a single mum and now unemployed)

Re: Why is life so sh1t
Sometimes people learn the heard way and the pain that is involved can affect people in many ways whether they were directly involved or not.

Re: Why is life so sh1t

Re: Why is life so sh t
Commiserations Shady McGough, life can be a real 'bitch', at times like this I always think of Charles Dickens and in particular the hapless Mr Mickawber, "one door shuts another opens" it may not help you in the short term, but it will happen eventually, best of luck to all of you.

Re: Why is life so sh t
SHADY- N.L.T.B.G.Y.D. is what i have lived by for 30 years now, i also believe if your right- it will come right. keep the faith mate.

Re: Why is life so sh t
I get down, like everyone does.
It's an oft quoted retort that there is always someone worse off than yourself, but it's true. The trick is to turn the negatives into positives. I used to get bored having a day off from work, because I loved my job so much. Three years ago I was devastated to be told I have an incurable, degenerative illness, and that I would never work again. A bit of a slap in the face for me, to say the least. On the positive side, it's not going to kill me. I never need to worry about setting the alarm clock again. When the weathers good I can sit in it all day. I've been able to spend more precious time with my family, rather than the frantic weekends of old. I can spend all day reading, with no guilt if the mood takes me. I have the luxury just to live, and be. In summary- Shock diagnosis now equals unexpected holiday.:) |

Re: Why is life so sh t
Hey Shady, I hope "today" finds you feeling a bit better. I hate when I get depressed, takes all the joy out of life if I let it. I find the best cure to eventually get me through is focusing on the positive things going on in my life at the moment.
Sometimes, for me, it doesn't seem like there's much but there's always something that'll help me through. Then again sometimes it just takes time. Thanks for sharing with your Accy mates. That alone is very helpful eh? Brian |
Re: Why is life so sh t
Know just how your feeling at the moment.2006 wasn't a great year but Xmas was a good one with family get togethers etc and hoped things wre on the up for 2007.Then 3 weeks in the wife gets note of impending redundancy(or not,as the case may be) & the next day my father dies.On top of this the boy can't seem to get a job for love nor money.The only thing to do is stay positive.There's always an upside to every downside....somewhere along lifes path we'll have a reversal of fortune:)
|
Re: Why is life so sh t
A few years ago, I was made redundant and, like your partner Shady, I was a single mum. I panicked like hell cos the job I'd had fit in well with school hours and I thought it would be difficult to find anything similar. As it turned out, I got a new job after about 3 months which worked out to be a lot better than the old one, better conditions etc, anyway just trying to say that although it may look bleak now I'm sure something will turn up. Keep your chin up
|
Re: Why is life so sh t
Liek Accymad, each time I've had to change jobs for one reason or another its always meant a progression. Think of it as an opporetunity to reevaluate your life and try to be positive as it does help. Sometimes we need a kick up the bum to better ourselves, sometimes they come when we least expect/need them.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do. |
Re: Why is life so sh t
I agree with what most people have said on here, keep positive and see this as one door closing and a new one opening, hope your girlfriend finds a job soon, good luck.

Re: Why is life so sh t
You'd better get your suggestions for Sparks in then - you're going to need the cash!!!!
Life is sh!t - and that's coming from someone who always wears her rose tinted glasses - but it's wonderful in equal measures. I've been made redundant three times in the past and it's the worst feeling in the world so you have all my sympathies. I don't see life as a challenge or a fight but more as a roller coaster - you're just in a dip at the moment but you'll be on top again soon. If I hear of anything I'll let you know. And if you're desperate you can always scrounge off your friends!!!!! |
Re: Why is life so sh t
You know January is the worst month - so smile its nearly over
February is nearly as bad - but at least its short Then hey March - SPRING - things can only get better |
Re: Why is life so sh t
Yep Life is a Bitch.
What annoys me the most is that I would be better of NOT working ,I have worked since the age of 13 and been at my current employer for 9 years. But I am still overdrawn every time i get paid.:mad: On benefits I would get My rent paid, council tax paid, probably some Tax Credit benefit + beiong able to in my free time make money via cash in hand jobs. Anyway Life sucks, but if you let it get down you loose, I always see it as a challange a Fight so to speak and they arnt taking me down. Chin up bud, things can only get better.:) |

Re: Why is life so sh t
Life is often tough Shady. There are times when everything seems to be going well the something goes wrong as if it's just trying to keep you on your toes.
The worst times in my life seemed like the bottom of a very dark pit at times but I'm still here and I'm still surviving. When my first husband died and left me with 2 young children to bring up on my own I never eve contemplate the possibility that I would ever marry again. I missed him so much it felt like part of me had been ripped out. I think I survived on automatic pilot for a while. Life does go on though and even when it looks the worst there's some sort of solution out there. It may well be Lindsay finds a better job. There may be a different solution. One day you may both look back and ee that you've grown stronger from the experience and I thik that's really the answer, to look for what there is that can be a positive interpretation and learn from it. When I was on my own I learned a lot of things. I learned I could survive and I could do a lot of things. When you're down people often throw out corny old sayings like "when life throws you lemons, make lemonade" and they don't sound very helpful at the time do they? I remember somebody once saying that life is like a journey on an old steam train. Sometimes there's a lot of smoke and steam, if you open the windows you may get soot in your face or even a bit of grit in your eye. You may trvel through smoky towns ad heavily built up industrial areas but now and again the countryside opens up and you get a beautiful view. It isn't about enduring the grime and muck until you get to the next bit of lovely scenery. It's about enjoying the actual train ride. It will probably never be easy all the time. There'll always be ups and downs and challenges alongside the good stuff. Enjoy the good stuff, learn from the challenges and just keep soldiering on. Remember wrought iron has to endure a lot of beating and hammering and some pretty hot fire but it ends up a lot tougher than cast iron. |
Re: Why is life so sh t
Whilst waiting for "things to get better" in the last 24 hours a friend has been run over by a car on a zebra crossing and my mum's cat has died.I must have done something really bad in a previous life !
|
Re: Why is life so sh t
I wouldn`t buy that lottery ticket tomorrow if I were you!:)

Re: Why is life so sh t
Another one of those corny sayings is....'It is always darkest just before the dawn'....Well, Lindsay and Shady....I hope your Dawn brings the biggest brightest sun....but until then, light a candle. (you don't need to be in church)

Mancie....I don't believe we are doomed. Negativity attracts negative stuff.

Re: Why is life so sh t
There is one advantage to being on the bottom and that is there is only one way to go and that is up. Imagine being at the top with only one way to go.
“Nil Desperandum Iligitimus Carborundum” My motto cashy. I’ve lived by it ever since the older miners introduced me to thick oil and coal dust in a very delicate place on the day I was leaving the pit to work elsewhere back in ’53 I think it was. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it happened at the end of the shift but it happened at the beginning. But NDIC held me in good stead in my navy days and in all the trials and tribulation since then. And believe you me there has been some doozies. But you don’t want to know about them. All I will say is that every cloud DOES have a silver lining. |

I do hope that your friend isn't too badly hurt and will make a full recovery and commiserations to your Mum on the loss of her cat. Losing a family pet can be heartbreaking I know. I know it's awful when a lot of things happen so close together. Not long after my first husband died (in hospital of a DVT) our dog died and then my eldest daughter was rushed to the same hospital her Dad had been in and her life hung in the balance having been run over on her way to school. To look at her now you'd never believe she had so many broken bones not to mention lung damage and she still has a horrendous scar on her knee but she's alive and kicking and has just as much attitude as any other teenager. I won't say things will get better because we never know what's going to happen next. All I can say is that somehow I managed to cope with all these things and I'm sure you will too. If there is anything practical that you need, like a new job, I hope that it will be better than the last one and that one day you'll look back and see the demise of MZ as a blessing in disguise. Good luck to you in whatever the future brings. Try to think positive, I know it's not easy though. |
Re: Why is life so sh t
I once had a conversation with Willow were I said I was a fatalist, and as she posted above she didn't really believe in a grand plan.
Neither do I really. What I should have said is that it is very often the awful things which happen to us in life which make us stronger, and help form our character and who we are. The people to me, who seem to have it all, are very often vacuous. |

Back to thread, I found out yesterday at an orthopedist appointment that I have a spondylosis. The x-ray showed a permanant fracture in my lower vetebra. I was actually really glad to finally understand my "annoying" and repeated backaches. Also through an x-ray found that the ortharthritis in my swollen left knee was mending hence he didn't have to drain it. Got my new pain meds. and I was off. So all in all a pretty good day. However, it'll hit me when that one bad thing hits that'll just push me over the edge. Then the discouragment and depression will attempt to set in. It is these times that I rely on my faith to pull me through. Sometimes it does help fairly quickly and other times it drags on far too long for my liking!:confused: :cool: ;) :D Brian |
Re: Why is life so sh t
Hope it's not too painful for you Brian,at least all our woes at the moment aren't physical.{except for Chris who got run over obviously!**
I have been persuaded,possibly unwisely to go to the Accyweb meet tonight,so I will be spreading my doom and gloom there for all to enjoy! A problem shared and all that......:p |
Re: Why is life so sh t
I think going to the meet is a wonderful idea for any and all Accywebbers who can make it. Nothing better when you're down to be around alot of laughter and people who care. Hope everyone has a good time!
I along with other expats will be with you guys in spirit! Brian |

Hi there i hope everything turn,s out ok for you at your end good luck and keep your chin up .

Re: Why is life so sh t
Your not alone God has eaten my nuts too...
... love is powerful great love comes with great hate I've been crushed to death by my ex she still leaves me feeling guilty, ever since she left me she has drunk so much in 2 months I think her heart is gonna pack in, she doesn't eat last time i saw her she was nearly anarexic I blame myself for still being there for her. The only thing I could do after standing by her side through everything we been through is walk away more of a man. I guess all you can do is learn by the **** that is thrown at you and rebuild yourself making you stronger and wiser. If God kicks you in the nuts, kick him back. :cool: |
Re: Why is life so sh t
Think how big the universe(s) is. Look at how old the universe(s) Consider the fact that the odds are none of us are real. Any decisions made, anything that happens has almost no effect on the big picture, so why worry about them ? Enjoy life when it gives you something to enjoy, consider how little effect even the biggest personal problems have on the grand scale.
This post may seem a little doom and gloom but it works for me, pretty much enjoy life when you can and who cares about the rest. |
Re: Why is life so sh t
Lindsey. don't despair - our mate Rory scored for his new club today, 2 years at Blackpool and he couldn't find the net god love him but after only 16 minutes at Rochdale he scored - just wish I could've been there! It's got to be a sign that there's always hope!!

Re: Why is life so sh t

Only joking.....fffs, life's a scream with you there.:D |

I hope everyones feeling better soon ,,, roll on spring

Re: Why is life so sh t
It's like I said at the meet Lyndsay has one door shuts another one opens. What doesnt kill us makes us stronger.
I fully believe that everything happens for a reason. We have to experience bad things to appreciate the good things in our life. We have to count our blessings. The only way is up from the bottom. Good luck chuck. |
