Without knowing any details I can only offer you general advice, but I think it's good advice. It's okay to feel sad about something, but it's not okay to give up. Give yourself a little freedom to grieve for whatever it is that you have lost, then prepare to move on. Time only works in one direction. You can't redo the moments of your past, but you can take control of your present and make plans for the future. Honestly assess where you are now, where you want to be, and what you need to do to get there. Then the hardest part, start doing things to move you towards your goals. Phrase all your decisions as positive actions. For example, "I want to live a healthy life" is a lot more powerful than "I don't want to be so fat". And remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. You do have the power to make positive changes in your life.

I will be sending you my prayers and best wishes. The advice I can give you is my motto of life. " I can do anything for a short time". It usually gets me through the tough times. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes it's just harder to find.

Sometimes we are put through tests and trials just so God can let us see how strong we really are!! God is in control and knows what you need and how to get you to that place ~ try not to worry to much. I do know that it is hard though :smt002
When I get through this next round of testing and such I will PM with my story! Just remember that things could always be worse, just watch tv and you will know that quickly ~ it is scary sometimes.
Even though I haven't gotten to write yet, just know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be!!

Hey Rose, I think we have all been through some really tough times. The one thing I have learned through all my mistakes and hard times is to face them head on and attack them. Correct your mistakes as best you can and DON'T put any problem off. The sooner you deal with it, the better. It not only gives you time to come up with a contingency, it can also help give you peace of mind.
Not knowing what you are going through, that would be my advice.
Know that you are not alone in making a mess of your life. I have screwed up a few times. I have made some major mistakes in my life. I have some battle scars from it. But, I get through it. I rely on my faith and my inner strength. I pick myself up and start over again. I try to learn from my failures, screw-ups and mistakes. I try to be a better person. When all else fails, I say a prayer to St. Jude as he is the patron Saint of hopeless causes and that is what I usually feel like when I screw up. :smt002
Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. You have control over how it happens. Deal with it straight on. It may be hard, it may be embarrassing, it may even be painful, but at least you will do all you can to make it better and that, in and of itself, will make whatever happens easier to live with.
I hope everything works out for you. I am thinking of you.

Dear Rosetea, it is o.k. to be sad and feel bad about what we have done to hurt ourself or others, Lord knows I have hurt allot of people in my younger days due to my own desires and addictions. But the human spirit is very tough, and most people will forgive you if you show them in time that you really have changed and are truly sorry. I lost all of my blood family at that time in my life, and while they have forgiven me somewhat, they never wanted me back, but that is o.k. Because of that situation I have a new family that choose me just because they love me, and not because we have the same blood and they think they have to. My new family loves me as much as anyone could. I was 24 before I had a mom and dad who loved and wanted me, They are deceased now, but they are the most wonderful mom and dad in the world, and just because we are not blood and I didn't get them until I was grown doesn't make them any less family then anyone else. You just have to admit what you did wrong, apologise, try to make it right, Then the biggest then is wait and leave it to God and let the person or people make up their own mind whether to trust you again. And if they say no accept it, and remember you are never alone God is always there, and forgives you for any terrible thing you either did, :smt006 or think you did. So prayers and love to you, And try and remember. This too will pass in time. My prayers and love to you

I too have been through some horrible times...what got me through was really listening and learning this phrase;
"When you pray, there will be no room for worry, When you worry, there is no room for Prayer"
