Quote - its hard to be positive when everything SUCKS so bad you maybe want to just run away and forget it all. When your job sucks, your financial situation sucks, your marraige sucks, half the people you know are out of work, the other half are on tension just waiting for the ax to drop, people not caring about anyone except themselves...on and on....

sittting by the water helps a lot, but now its frozen over.

Ok, if we're playing Misery Poker, suck on this...

I'm unemployed and flat broke, my wife, 15 month old son and I live in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment - which has barely enough room for the three of us - and we have another child on the way, and nowhere for her to sleep.  I am in constant pain from a damaged knee and had to cancel my op due to bad weather.  I now have to wait until next year.  The painkillers I'm taking don't allow me to drink alcohol and they have spectacular withdrawal symptoms so I can't even stop taking them to have a drink or two over Christmas.  Not that I could afford it, anyhow.

I was the victim of a violent attack 2 years ago and I'm still suffering the physical and mental effects of that.  I have 3 separate legal actions ongoing, one against the Police, one against the local authority and one against the people who attacked me.

And of course, my dad died a couple of months ago.

Am I negative? Bollocks to that.  If I let myself be miserable it spoils any chance of happiness and makes things worse for those around me.  I deal with what I can and let the rest take care of itself.  At least we are warm and dry and what little we have, we enjoy.  If I give in to negativity, the bastards have won.  I won't ever let that happen.
